Love Tennis. It was sad to see Federer lose tonight. I was quite surprised that he lost.
I was watching when Williams lost her cool. That was very poor sportsmanship of her. She was losing and couldn’t stand the heat. She has no one to blame but herself. I hope she learned a big lesson.
Somewhere in between every single match and now and then. The two weeks of the US Open is my favorite time of year. I’ve been very disappointed with the coverage this year, but I am often resistent to change, lol. It’s been frustrating not seeing the matches that I want - I am convinced that both Roddick and Blake lost because I was not able to watch their matches. Just kidding, but I’ve been rooting for Blake for several years, and I really hope he gets it together and wins the Open one of these days.
As for Serena, I am a huge fan, but while I understand her frustration, make no mistake about it - she did threaten the judge, so I do feel the penalties were deserved. I accept her apologies, but I feel she owes the biggest apology to Kim Clister’s fans as they were robbed of seeing Kim win the match and revel beside her in the win.
Tonight’s men’s final was one of the best I’d seen in years. The 20 year old Juan Martin Del Potro defeating the best male tennis player ever? Priceless. Both men should be proud of their performances in the US Open.
It is my dream to one day be there in person to witness my favorite sports event. As I am now middle age, I hope it happens sooner rather than later, lol.
A little harsh Deber. She should not have used such language, but for all of the time she has played and things that have happened, hey she finally could not hold her tongue. There have been matches when she was cheated by the call the judges have made. She as all of us, is human and I am sure you, as we all have, lost it at times in our lives.
