What's Up With That? Wimbledon 2009 Finals

What’s up with Roger’s tote bag that he carried onto Centre Court today? Number 1: It looks like he borrowed his wife’s gym bag. Number 2: What the hell does he need to carry onto the court other than a couple rackets, some Gatorade, and maybe a dry shirt? Number 3: He just looks plain goofy carrying his massive Wilson bag, plus his feminine bag big enough to carry a small child.

What’s up with Roger wearing everything detailed in gold? The Nike swoosh on his shoes and headband, the outline of his collar and sleeves, his warmup jacket, and his tote bag—all are white with a dash of gold. Is it because anything except gold will clash when he holds up the gold Wimbledon trophy? What's up with that arrogance, Roger?

What’s up with Roger’s on-court outfit? Not only does the gold detailing give the impression that he’s full of himself and has no chance of losing, it looks like he either just got drafted to the military or is about to go ballroom dancing. Underneath his military-themed jacket, with cargo pockets galore, he wore a button-down vest that he might as well wear under a tux to go with his Gillette-shaven face and Rolex-covered wrist.

What’s up with seating Roger’s wife directly in front of Roddick’s wife? Can anyone say catfight? Roddick is married to blond supermodel Brooklyn Decker, and Federer recently married his longtime girlfriend, Mirka, who is a bit chubby and has unflattering features. Not only does it make Mirka look even worse, but it won’t do anything to make the Roddicks and the Federers better pals. They already don’t have much respect for each other, as they are always getting in each other’s way on the court, but now the women of the family probably hate each other too. I must say, Brooklyn showed much more respect for Federer than Mirka did for Roddick. Whenever the camera showed the two, Mirka was actively rooting, clapping or yelling for her husband, while Brooklyn sat back, and watched with excitement, wanting Andy to pull off the upset, but not disrespecting Roger by applauding every time he made a mistake. What's up with that?

What's up with Venus barely putting up a fight against sister Serena in the women's final? Serena won in stright sets 7-6, 6-2. The previous three times the Williams' sisters met head-to-head they have battled it out, playing three sets each match. I know at 29, Venus might be on the decline in terms of her career, but what's up with that? That sure wasn't the final it was cracked up to be.

What's up with Serena's fashion this tournament? Are you sure she has her own clothing line? Apparently it's called Aneres...I guess she sometimes does dress pretty backwards. In her post-championship press conference, she sported a T-shirt reading "Are you looking at my titles?" across the chest. I know Serena's really not that arrogant, and it was just a playful shirt, but come on Serena. What's up with that? Then, onto the court, she wore an overcoat that I guess you could call "unique". It was basically a rain jacket that got mixed with a bathrobe, allthewhile it remained super short, hardly longer than her skirt, to show lots of thigh. You're at Wimbledon, for cryin' out loud! I know it's usually cold and wet in London, but what's up with that?
