My bf & I wanted to go to NY & see some of the matches live but it came so quickly. Def rooting for Rafa as always! He's finally #1 and Fedex is finally not the cream of the crop...never liked him much as he is way too overrated.
I'm excited to see who makes it to the finals...Djokovic - Nadal would be nice to see.
As for women's I really like Ivanovic! I hope she makes it far.

Federer isn't overrated, he's just so good. The problem is that until the last 18 months or so, Nadal, Djokovic etc weren't up on the same level. Now rafa is and djok is getting closer to the level too. Beforehand players like hewitt & roddick just weren't good enough to make matches with fed competitive & mentally not strong enough. Now people are it should make it more interesting :)

people will remember novak djokovic for not getting all out of his talent. he is an arrogant bastard who acts like he has 10 slams. i questions his resolve and his dedication. i dont know of any 20 year old who retires from matches more than him. he also admitted he was worn out and lost focus, are u joking, you are 20 years old??? he doesnt have the will to win like nadal, agassi, sampras and federer. i hope i am wrong, but i dont think so.

I was never a fan on Federer, I always took the likes of Nadal even before his #1 reign. I know Fed WAS awesome, no one has his insane single backhand and a lot of his skills WERE top notch...I just think he is also cocky [just isn't my cup of tea]
I really love Blake besides Nadal...for an American I think James takes the cake! I've never been fond of Roddick in the least bit except he def has an impressive serve.

I'm a big fan of Nadal because I grew up in the 90s on watching his uncle at the heart of the FC Barcelona defence and he was awesome, and then got to see him in a live spanish game when he was in his final season in Mallorca and wasn't disappointed with seeing him play. I knew that Rafael would be commited because of the kind of training Miguel Angel would help with, especially strength wise.
get nyce
i'll be rooting for Sal
You should throw the towels at the players instead...switch it up on them

It's so funny. I was watching a video and he does everything right handed. Nadal said that the only thing he can do left-handed is tennis. That's it.
The one thing that impresses me the most about Nadal is how he seems to get better and better everytime I see him. I really like that about him.
