Shanghai Masters Cup

A busy schedule has been keeping me from my blog, though it´s not completely stopped me from keeping my eye on the tennis.

I was very excited when I heard about the Terracotta Warriors being made for this year´s Masters Cup in Shanghai. However, upon seeing the finished product I can´t help being rather disappointed (see for yourself here). They obviously had to rush to get them all finished on time - possibly why they gave Gasquet, who qualified at the last minute, a cap. Considering they knew Federer was in right from the start they´ve done a poor job on him, although Nadal´s cheekbones have been captured perfectly. All in all, the best likeness has to be Roddick - the vacant stare in his terracotta counterpart matches his own exactly!
