Live That Fantasy.
One of the worst — or most hilarious, depending on your mood — parts about watching professional tennis matches on television is the loud, orgasmic grunts many players make while sending back their volleys. It can be downright distracting.
When set to music, though? Those same grunts can actually be pretty gosh durn beautiful. Just another example of that whole “when life hands you lemons” thing.
All we're trying to say, is keep your head up this week and really make the most of it. That shouldn't be too hard, given we've mapped out exactly what you can expect in the coming days.
