US Open

in reference to the tennis tournament :)

finally, there is a new men's champion--Juan Martin del Potro. He's 20 years old and from Evita...(don't cry for me Argentina). i actually got to watch from the end of the 3rd set on, rain delays ended up pushing back all the matches with the women's doubles final and mens final played on Monday instead of the more traditional Sunday afternoon/evening. i really don't know how he did it either--until i saw Federer mentally break down.

Podie won: 3-6, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2. so Roger actually won more games but half of those are worth nothing when you lose a set tiebreaker. On TV there were talking about how Federer hadn't lost a US Open match in 2200 days, or since 2003 when he lost to David Nalbandian; which effectively cleared the way for Andy Roddick to win.

Some of you might know how much I dislike Federer but if you don't it's because he is self centered and conceded. All he cares about is himself and if he's not winning it's not because the other player is better it's because he's off his game. He only knows how to play when he's winning and doing well; like Tiger Woods or Peyton Manning.

agree/disagree, whatever--articles and videos like this are enough for me...
