Why would Nadal do a shirtless pic? He finally gets to #1 so he takes his top off? IMHO it takes away from what really matters - which is his tennis.

Since Baghdatis is out, I'll be able to focus my positive energy 100% on Tipsy. In other words, I will curse him and he will go out in the first round.

9 1/2 HOURS, bitchez!!!
Agreed on the Nadal pic, Jonesy. Franklin, have you seen how far Marcos has fallen? He's at 46th now, due to his inactivity. It's weird to not see Haas, Ljubo, Marat, Ferrero, Lleyton, and Chela in the Top 32 anymore either, as well. Dropping last year's points, Fed's only 525 points ahead of Djoko for the 2nd spot, now. IF Novak wins it this year, he'll move into 2nd place by a minimum of 25 points over Roger, who'll fall to 3RD!! It's very, very much a possibility. |

Looks like Elena and Jelena are the benefactors to thel weak half of the draw usually reserved for Maria Sharapova. Seems like one of them will make The Finals
unless someone completely off the radar comes out of that half.
Potential Early Round Upsets on the Men's Side Cilic Vs Djokovic in 3rd Round Roddick Vs Gulbis in 2nd Round Stepanek Vs Federer in 3rd Tound It will interesting to see what Del Potro does he looked like a top 5 players the way he was beating down players at his Title runs in La and DC. He would have a tricky path if he is gonna go deep with Simon in the 3rd,Ferrer in the 4th and Murray in the QF's.

They (well, Don King) is already hyping up the anticipated finals as The Grapple in the Apple. He needs to go back to boxing.

He may have lost to Nadal in straight sets but damn if that wasn't entertaining.

That was a very touching tribute that the USTA just put on, bringing out all (most) of the former champions. I had t.ears in my eyes when they brought out some
legends like Laver.

The Del Potro / Canas match is very good - Canas won the 1st, and the 2nd is right now going to a tiebreak!!
I really wish I'd have seen that Nadal - Phau match! Anna Chak (#10 seed) is already gone. Why in HELL would Fed and Nadal have anything to do with Don Kng?!??
And no, the Williams' don't "deserve" to get anything other than the seedings into which they're randomly placed - just like every other player on the WTA tour. |

Methinks that Peepers and Plunger may perhaps be one and the same.

That Safin-Spadea match was pretty good.
Hantuchova upset in the first round....Sam Querrey from USA beat Berdych in straight sets. |

It was just a guess, FS - I've really no idea.
Just the
fact that there'd been no post for 8 hours, and then BOOM, two in that one minute span... it looked a bit like a setup just to get the millennium post.
I've got to get my schedule flipped around, so I can watch these matches during the day! Safin - Vince DOES look like it was good... the same with the Haas win over Gasquet in 5 sets, and Gonzalez getting a scare. Dellacqua - change just 5 points in her match, and she wins it instead of losing. It's just the second day, and there's already a backlog.  There are a
bunch of 1st Round men's matches being played tomorrow. Tipsy fans - his match is at11AM Eastern tomorrow morning.

Men's first round matches are always played over the first three days. It's been like that forever.
As for tonight's matches: -Sam Stosur was mediocre and kept making stupid unforced errors. She was also way too tentative and never charged the net when she should have. She's way more aggressive when she plays doubles. -Maximo Gonzalez looked really promising in the first set but he completely self-destructed here in the second. Looks like Federer took some time to figure out this guy's peculiar service motion, but he's rolling now. |
