Did anyone else notice the woman in the ''no grunting'' hat during the Serena/Dementieva match? She picked the right/wrong match to wear that to depending on how you see it. Personally I am always bothered by how the grunting complaint is only applied to women. Gustavo K. had one of the most annoying sounds I've ever heard and very few people ...

 Mostly all lower ranked players at not Semi/Final Grand slam events. That's all one needs to do to be #1. It worked out super well for Hingis. She stayed #1 without winning a Grand Slam for at least a year maybe 2 or more.  Safina seems to struggle more with the occasion than her opponent. She played a very competitive match against ...

I actually think Andy's game has improved. Long ago, meaning about 3 years ago, he was just a serve and a basic everything else. Once you returned his serve he was almost always at a disadvantage. He's improved, for him, tremendously. Is he in the same league as Federer or Nadal. No way in San Juan; but he's having better results since he's been ...

I was taken back when I saw who originally posted this thread. I recall a few years back being sent into a volcanic fan girl rage when he compared Serena Williams to something that was recently shot in the New York Post. I swore never to give him notice and have held steadfast to that for about 3 or 4 years now. I’m not reneging on that, but ...

Chutzpah my foot! He must be hanging out with Hingis or hitting the pipe if he calls this a good year. It may be good only because it's the last time he'll finish close to the top 10, maybe even 20.  

Good Topic! :) Venus: What Might have Been - Little Texas Serena: Kataomoi - Crystal Kay [Japanese song about unrequited love, To me it sums up her career.] Venus & Serena: I Always Knew - Jem & Invincible - Pat Benatar Marat Safin: Sweet Sacrifices - Evanescence or When Will I see you Again - Three Degrees Andre Agassi: The Warrior ...

I think a lot of this will rest on Murray's shoulders. It's his first Grand slam final, after winning his first Semifinal. He's beaten the world's #1 for the first time in 6 tries, I believe. He's reached his highest ranking for the first time. And he's playing 4 time defending champion, and just removed #1 for almost half a decade. This match ...

I feel that she was probably annoyed by Ms. J. As many people seem to have been. She was rude, very self absorbed and seemed to think it was a platform for her own opinions and ''celebrity'' than a trophy ceremony. When she was called to the court, the first thing she said is, ''Why am I here?!'' in this whine of a voice, and from that point it ...

Tee Hee! :P

He is a very talented player; very fun to watch. His ''less than mature'' actions remind me of both Andy Roddick & Novak Djokovic.
