Chang/Martin as the black Thursday filler night match. Memories. When I used to like USian tennis.

Oh God. Todd was cool - one of my favouritest American males. Today will suck. I'm actually quite looking forward to SUPER FRIDAY now. There's a 30% chance at least one of the matches will be good. Got absolutely NO idea who'll make the final though. Go Bird Flu!

I'm going out of town the evening of Stupid Saturday, which means that I'll miss the entire thing. Unless it rains. I'll be back for the men's final, at least.

I'm surprised you all liked Todd. He was like Sampras v.2 for me...just as boring, not as good. A proto-Ivo, though! I liked Chang except when he opened his mouth to get all God-bothery.
Annoyed that I won't be able to watch any more of the USO...stupid Eurosport. Actually, stupid Sky Sports. Who the hell even has that channel.

I think you can get Sky Sports 2 on some freeview channel or like NTL where you pay a set amount for the box and get some premium channels for free thereafter. Otherwise, the Sports package (with Sky) is stupidly expensive. Combine that with HD and movie subcriptions and you're paying £60 a month. No more of that for me when I go back this month. Todd was always very articulate. He was like a lawyer or something too.

I guess so too. My memory's slowly coming back with the help of some Youtube clips. Todd didn't even serve very hard, he was going for good placement. He moved well, had a technically sound game and a great two-handed backhand.

He also looked 15 years older than he actually was, so I was always sympathetic as to his back pain, because all old folks have back pain. And he actually did have back issues, if I recall, probably as a result of looking so bloody old.

I'd tell you to leave Chang along, but appreciate that it's probably God's will that is making you lash out in this manner. So, carry on.

If birth control fails me, the kid will either look like That Chick or That Guy. Because I look somewhat like That Chick, and I primarily sleep with That Guy. So, the world is safe in that regard. Or not safe, I suppose, if That Chick and That Guy are offensive to you.
I'm going to bed when Fed wins this set.

Federer won the set. But not in style.
Normally he should win the tie-break 7-2 or 7-3. But he played tactically horrible points at 4-4 and 6-5. Awful shot selection. But he got lucky. Worried again about the Roddick match-up.

Roger couldn't return all day. I keep expecting him to turn that around, and he isn't.
But, Andrew won't be able to break him either, so go Novak.
