I like to watch the semifinals/finals...what round are they up to now?
I can't stand Federer.

I used to play tennis. It's a pretty rough sport, very very very exhausting.

Tennis is the only sport I've ever been good at it. I was pretty good, too, and I still got it when I pick a racket back up now and then.

meh... usualy those are the worst games (IME anyway) they're too tired and nurvouse to play a good game!
you probably missed nadal today (trying to get to the fourth round) against this french guy who didn't let up for a second! the first set took an 1:45 alone!!! almost every game got to duce with loads of break points... i was feeling sorry for them...
but amazingly nadal pulled it off and is STILL unbroken after 55 matches on clay (a world record BTW) AND it was his birthday today AND they played VERY good tennis (lots of winners and interesting points...)
i don't think the finels will be as good as that

I usually find myself glued to womens tennis matches. Although I do watch the mens because it is so much faster.

Nadal is a bad boy. I never even watched tennis before until I saw that 5 hour match. I tip my hat to the game of tennis.
