Where's our Mojo ?
Monday, June 05, 2006
US Open 2005: Andy Roddick, american stud, appears in one of the most insipid tennis inspired commercial for Amex. Punchline was something like "Where's Andy's Mojo" (or something like that - I dont remember). And boy did he lose his Mojo out there on court. As it is I dont like that guy, and this Ad campaign did it. Kicked out in the 1st round itself - I think his Mojo made it further that Andy did.
US Open 2005: Maria Sharapova, on an court intw. after defeating Nadia Petrova : "My Mojo wasn't there." Mojo eh ? Some influence maybe, too much of TV , or maybe something else ;-)
French Open 2006: Andy Roddick. Same saga, retired from the 1st round at Roland Garos, and was 2 sets down, a mental retirement maybe. I am not sure if he's gonna find his Mojo anymore. So much for the hype created in the States.
French Open 2006: Maria Sharapova. The 4th seed was defeated by fellow 14th seeded Safina. Saw the game the other day and looked like it was the Mojo again. Sharapova was leading 5-1 in the final set and went on to lose the last 6 games to be knocked out by Marat Safin's sister. A good comeback by Safina and all the grunting by Maria on court didnt help.
The saga of Andy, Mojo, and Maria continues. Next pit stop - Wimbledon

Surprisingly and coincidentally, both Andy and Maria were injured in this year's French Open.

@ Rpm - True. I think Maria was injured before even starting the tournament.
But yeah, Coincidence ?? ;)
