Wimbledon High-Res Photos - R32

Everytime I watch Amélie play I feel like a fly stuck on honey. :)
(And sometimes, in more negative moments, like a moth lethally attracted to a flame).

Btw, nice excerpt from today's post-match interview:

Q. Five teenagers made it to the third round in the bottom half of the draw. At almost 28, do you sometimes feel old?

AMÉLIE MAURESMO: Well, thank you (laughter). I sometimes probably feel old in the locker rooms because they talk, yeah, probably very teenage things.

Q. Like what?

AMÉLIE MAURESMO: Teenage things.

Stupid journalist, don't you know she likes'em old?!?! ;)

Ok, now back to the photos:

Which suitcase would you buy?

I know, this is not exactly "classic posting" during Wimbledon... LOL
But regretfully the All England Lawn Tennis (and Cricket and Croquet and Pool and Darts) Club doesn't make arrangements for someone to carry my stuff around when I travel. So it turns out I have to carry it by myself.

I've bought my last suitcase in 1999 (hey, if you're still reading this and haven't fallen asleep yet it's amazing... I take the yawning for granted) but it's becoming a little uncomfortable since I've seen more developed beings going around airports with 4-wheel, vertical suitcase that seem to walk by themselves :)

So I'm confronted with this hard choice right now:
