i felt for federer especially when john mcenroe said he cut his interview short because he saw tears in his eyes after roger said this hurt. wow such a quality match. it was unbelievable |
thought last year's final was best match i'd ever seen. 2008 final >>>> 2007 final. |

Great match. Federer was pretty much all-serve in this final, basically
eeking his way out of virtually all the break-chances Nadal had. The rest of his game was pretty mediocre. All Nadal pretty much did this match was hit to Federer's backhand. Federer also needed to do better on his service returns.
The match was great in terms of emotion, significance, and suspense, but in terms of actual match play it was hardly the best. |

In celebration of Nadal dethroning Federer as world No.1 shortly ...
I'm hoping Murray can get past Karlovic tonight in the Cincinnati Masters SF's and Nadal the same with Djokovic, which would set up a great final imo. Murray and Gasquet (for one set) are the only ones who have looked like troubling Nadal over the past 3 weeks. |

Yeah, I heard she had a couple of small tears around the shoulder area and will miss the Olympics and possibly more. Real shame, as I'm sure she would of been confident of bringing home a medal for her country :( |

| Congrats to Butthead today who made his first ATP Master's final with a relatively comfortable 6-4 6-4 straight sets win. Over to Nadal and Djokovic now to serve us up a classic in the other SF :) |

nadal wasn't serving so great last night and surprisingly had problems. not saying he didn't play well but tonight's match against novak should be exciting to watch because he won't let so many chances slip by.

let's not kid ourselves maria hasn't been playing so well this year. she wouldn't have won the olympics. she regained her #1 ranking because henin retired before the french then quickly lost the position to ivanovic. if rooting for a russian dinara safina has been by far the most improved player on the wta tour this year and the best russian player by far this year male or female. her victory last week in carson city against jankovic was a nice match to watch and i think she's just getting better. |
