Alright, let’s talk about this tennis match, you know, the one with them girls… Navarro and Stearns. Heard folks jabberin’ about it, so I figured I’d chime in. Don’t know much about tennis, mind you, but I can tell you if a hen’s layin’ or not, and that ain’t so different, is it? You gotta watch ’em close, see who’s got the pep in their step.

So, this Navarro girl, they say she’s a seed. A third seed. Sounds fancy. Like pickin’ the best corn from the field, I guess. Last year, she almost made it to the tippy-top, but fell short. Kinda like my prize pumpkin that year, got all big and orange, then a darn squirrel gnawed a hole in it. Anyways, they say Navarro, she started off good in this Bad Homburg Open thingamajig.
Then there’s Stearns. Don’t know much about her. Just another gal with a racket, far as I can see. But they wouldn’t be puttin’ her up against this Navarro if she wasn’t any good, right? Reminds me of them county fairs, always gotta have a challenger, even if you know the prize-winning hog’s gonna win again.
Now, these two, they went at it. Swattin’ that little yellow ball back and forth like they was tryin’ to shoo flies off a porch. Folks were keepin’ score, somethin’ about two sets to somethin’, and then some more numbers. Confusin’ if you ask me. All I know is, one of ’em won, and one of ’em didn’t. That’s life, ain’t it? You win some, you lose some. Just like plantin’ taters, some years you get a bumper crop, some years the bugs eat ’em all.
- They say Navarro was the favorite, bein’ the third seed and all.
- But Stearns, she gave it a good go, from what I hear.
- Didn’t just roll over and play dead, like a possum in the headlights.
Heard some talk about “head to head” this and “prediction” that. Folks are always tryin’ to guess what’s gonna happen. Like predictin’ the weather. Sometimes you’re right, sometimes you get rained on durin’ the picnic. Me? I just watch and see. Don’t put much stock in guessin’ games.
And this wasn’t the first time these two tangled, it seems. They got somethin’ called “h2h statistics.” Sounds complicated. Probably just means they played each other before. Like that old rooster fightin’ the same neighbor’s rooster every spring. They know each other’s moves, I reckon.

There was even some talk about them playin’ doubles, too. Navarro with another gal, and Stearns with another. Doubles, huh? That’s like havin’ two cooks in the kitchen, might be more hands, but could also be more mess. Don’t know who won that one, didn’t pay much attention.
Anyways, the match is over now. Done and dusted. One of ’em went on, the other went home. Just like churnin’ butter, you keep at it till it’s done, then you clean up and move on to the next chore. That’s how it is with everything, I figure. Tennis, farmin’, life in general. You just keep on keepin’ on.
So, there you have it. My take on this Navarro versus Stearns match. Probably didn’t tell you nothin’ you didn’t already know, but sometimes it’s just nice to hear things in plain speak, ain’t it? No fancy words, no complicated numbers. Just the way it is, plain and simple.
The final score? Well, I heard somethin’ about Navarro winnin’ two sets to Stearns’ nothin’. But don’t quote me on that. My hearin’ ain’t what it used to be, and them announcers talk so fast, like they got a mouthful of hot mush.
In conclusion, it was a tennis match. Two gals, one winner. Life goes on. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them chickens.
