There,s an interesting article on Benjamin Becker in one of the German papers. He apparently is 25 and is a graduate of a USian uni in Texas. He idolized Boris as a kid but has never met him. "Something would be missing if I went to a tournament and someone didn't ask me about Boris. He follows me like a shadow."
Although he says it's a bit irritating when fans start cheering "Go Boris" as they did at Wimbledon.
Apparently he is now being coached by Tarik Benhabiles, so he is spending a lot of time in Florida and figures he might run into Boris there at some point.

Nadal leads 6-4. Nice. And they just showed Roger entering the venue with his "quiet confidence" Fat Dave serving at 4-5. Vamos Fat Dave!

Fat Dave loses the opening set to Berrer. Marat cruising against Vik 6-1, 6-1. Good. That makes Tina's match sooner. Or something.

Grosjean leads T Johansson 6-3. Interesting match to watch.
Oh and now they're showing Amelie entering the BJK National Tennis Centre. No mention of "quiet confidence" or it's like.

As long as Hingis is not at the same time as Serena, we should get to see her on the USA coverage. First time I'll ever see Peng play.

I'd love to see what's happening with Safin. Who needs Poo vs Rafa? I love Rafa, but we'll be seeing him again. But this might be the end of the USO road for Safin!

My 82-year-old Mom just told me Rafa is a "hunk", and Poo is not.

THEY HEARD ME!!! Safin finally on tv -- now that he's about to lose the set, of course. The announcers are saying that Safin "is a mystery to himself".

Coria retired after 5 games. What a waste of a spot in the draw.

Barrois has a nice forehand but she misses too many easy shots.
