JUSTINE. WHY SO AWESOME?

SERIOUSLY.

YOUR BACKHAND. IT IS NOT FOR MERE MORTALS.

AND I NOW KNOW THE MAGIC OF SLIDING ON A CLAY COURT.

Sigh. Sometimes I wish Justine wasn't retired, just to watch her play on clay. I mean, seriously. Her backhand + sliding + slices + forehand = Very, VERY pretty tennis. The people can keep their Ivanovic and Sharapova for their faces. I'd rather watch Justine play ACTUAL tennis. Besides, Alicia Sacramone can have all the hot. Because she's also an awesome gymnast. No complaints.

I WILL CELEBRATE BY HAVING A JUSTINE PICSPAM ON MY BLOG.


I learnt that the racket has to be higher than the contact point with the ball. Hence, it's kinda above the shoulder. And you shouldn't face the net. Which, to me, is like squash, where we face the side walls, and our rackets are ready above our shoulders.


I should put a Nastia picture here and see which stare is scarier. And I should totes cut Sharapova out of this picture. Although. Hahaha Nastia knows Sharapova. LOL. Also, aw, Justine. Is this why people complain about your sportsmanship? That you don't smile? (Uh... Okay, she DID smile in the end, but... uh.. yeah) But don't worry! You're HUMAN! At least you're not forcing a smile. Because that's just fake. Oh, and, LOL, Sacramone had the same thing about not smiling when Shawn won FX at Worlds. Hee.


TEAM BELGIUM!


Tssssssssssssssssss..... Sliiiiiiiiiiiiide! OH, apparently, your front foot has to be flat. And you use the toes of your back foot as your brake. I NOW KNOW THE MECHANISMS OF THE SLIDE.


Now you can see the slide and the backhand at the same time.


And the prize of it all.

Also, this is completely random, but...


The girl in the Nike shirt looks a bit like Shayla Worley. Um... right. Ew. Oh, and that I've seen Nastia/Shawn wear that Adidas jacket before. Hahaha. ADIDAS FTW.

And we shall cap this picspam off with a random gif of Shawn Johnson being random in an Adidas store.
