As a side note. Has anyone ever seen Joaquin Phoenix, the Emperor in Gladiator and Mel Gibson's little brother in Signs, in a room at the same time? I'm not saying...I'm just saying.

US Open 2008
Congrats to Roger "Great Name" Federer on winning the US Open for the 5th year in a row and for winning his 13th Major. 1 shy of record holder Pete Sampras 14.

US Open 2008
Crying? There's no crying in tennis.
No I'm not crying. Even though Nadal lost to Andy Murray yesterday. Nadal is my boy and I'm bummed he lost. But Murray beat him fair and square so no worries. Best of luck to the Scot this afternoon in his first major final.
TG/MM - I did not watch the Women's final yesterday due to going fishing and then watching football and I really wasn't very interested in either player. How was the match? UsOpen.org says it was 'thrilling' but what are they supposed to say about their own final? That it was a dog. So what's the scoop?
Who do you like in the men's final?

US Open 2008
Tennis Genius – Nice to see Dinara advance. I hope she wipes up the court with whichever of the Williams’ wins tonight. Will she?
I enjoyed the Federer match last night. Even though he’s not one of my favorite I liked his joy/excitement at the end of the match.
Since you watch way more tennis than I do, is Djokovic as annoying as he seems or is it just me? I couldn’t stand watching him at the Aussie Open, Wimbledon and now the US Open. Plus is he a drama queen about injuries or is he really banged up and a tough guy? And what’s with bouncing the ball a billion times before each serve? Not trying to pick on the guy but he gets on my nerves. I’d like to see Roddick beat him tonight. He seems to be playing well.
I'm assuming Nadal will get by Mardy Fish (what a cool name - not as cool as Roger of course) without too much trouble......but I guess I shouldn't take anything for granted. Fish seems to be really fired up to paly Nadal tonight. Anyway we shall see...
Going to be a fun night (I hope). We have tennis on tap. Great weather. And I have some steaks to cook on the grill. Doesn't get much better than that.

US Open 2008
While I'm not doing daily posts on this tournament like I did with Wimbledon, I don't have time in my life right now to, I figure I'd post major highlights.
Today: "Ana Ivanovic struggled from start to finish in her second-round match Thursday against 188th-ranked qualifier Julie Coin of France, losing 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 — her second straight disappointing exit at a Grand Slam". from Fox Sports.
Well the cuteness factor certainly went down on the women's side of the draw.
