Juan Potras takes Argentina to the next level while Serbia\‘s Novak Djokovic, after a hell of a great year, retires. It\‘s heartbreaking to be sure; I\‘d have LOVED to see him go further. But his body\‘s been through the wringer this year. And he\‘s been at the top of his game. Nothing at all to be ashamed of. I still love you Nole!

He\‘s been amazing all year, and now that the pressure of the \“streak\” is gone, he can focus on the matches ahead and keep up this great work he\‘s been doing. He\‘s no \“Djoker\” anymore. The joke is on everyone else. Way to go, Nole!

From the article: \“Lopez is 0-3 against Djokovic, who is unbeaten in 26 matches this season and already has four tournament titles under his belt.\” Djokovic, who won four tournaments in a row including the Australian Open in January, takes on Feliciano Lopez after the Spaniard beat Italy\‘s Filippo Volandri 7-6 6-2.

Church services are followed by families having their baskets of colored eggs blessed by the parish priest. Usually the eggs are red symbolizing happiness, joy, rebirth and the blood of Christ. Families exchange eggs and say, Hristos Voskrese (Christ is risen). The response is Voistinu Voskrese (Indeed He is risen). ]]> http://www.amerikanka.net//index.php?post=64 http://www.amerikanka.net//index.php?post=64 Sat, 23 Apr 2011 22:58:37 +0000
