2008 U.S Open Tennis. Notes and Quotes from The final Grand-Slam of '08. Thursday, September 4, 2008. Day 11: Roddick Roasted, Drive Home Safely. Man, what a raw deal it is to try to play Andy Roddick in The U.S. Open. I mean the guy is a chronic under-achiever in other Majors, but here, at the Open, he comes to life. Unfortunately for Roddick, it took him 2 full sets to have his first cup of coffee with Novak. And man were they loud and obnoxious. Quite honestly, it wasn't cool. What. I found myself wan...

2008 U.S Open Tennis. Notes and Quotes from The final Grand-Slam of '08. Tuesday, September 2, 2008. Day 9: Wo Pah. This is the sound Elena Dementieva. Makes as she rallies. "Wo" as she's starting her swing, "pah" as she makes contact. She is one of many notable grunters participating in this tourney. However, her grunt is now the grunt of a semifinalist, and that's nothing to scoff at. I wonder if the grunters on tour are also loud in bed? Who do you think has the most annoying grunts? Day 9: Wo Pah.

OCTB French Open '09. Insight and Opinions from the 2nd Slam of the Tennis Season. Sunday, June 7, 2009. Finally, Tears of Joy as Federer Secures 14th Slam. If Rafa Nadal is the King of Clay, then Roger Federer is the King of Tennis. On an overcast, blustery day in Paris, Federer's light was shining brightly throughout, as the greatest tennis legend of his era, and perhaps all others as well, coolly dismissed Swede Robin Soderling in straight sets, 6-1, 7-6(1), 6-4. They got what they wanted and then some.

French Open 2008: Day 13: Is Rafa Human?
http://2008frenchopen.blogspot.com/2008/06/day-13-are-these-guys-human.html
Observations from the 2nd tennis major of 2008. Friday, June 6, 2008. Day 13: Is Rafa Human? Utterly remarkable is the first phrase that comes to mind when thinking of Nadal on clay. In some kind of super-human overdrive for 169 minutes. Ornery Spaniard Rafa Nadal once again completely mastered a highly regarded opponent on the Roland Garros clay, in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (3). At 27-0 all time, he is now one win away from matching Bjorn Borg by winning his fourth straight title at Roland Garros.
