Anyone out there give a shit?

Anyway Safin is an Idiot, come on Roddick. Roddick up 2 sets to 1

What do people think of the challenge system? I think it is great. Who will win? Federer obviously, then for the women? Sharapova?

I'll keep up to date with the results as I do with all of the Grand Slams.

What's the challenge system?

The players have 2 chances per set and 1 extra during each tie-breaker to argue (on the available courts) against the line call, They lose a challenge each time they are wrong. Otherwise they can keep challenging. A replay is put up on the board, genratted from Hawkeye (computer program from many cameras) from the computer. Does that make sense (considering i have 7 stubbies of beer)?

I enjoying watching Maria play, and I like to see Kim bounce about the court. Does that count?

I want Sharapova on my TV set for as long as possible - so as long as she makes the final that's fine by me.

As for the men I think that it may be a bit more interesting than the usual Federrer walk through. Roddick beat him recently and I believe that Nadal has a winning record against him (?). I'd like to see Nadal win this.

Oh yeh, I'd also love for Llllllleyton to win but I don't know if that's gonna happen. I did watch his first match when he came back from 2 sets down, and that was pretty Lllllleyton-like. I wouldn't write him off.

roddick beat federer in an exhibition. federer has won like 32 matches in a row, and i don't see that stopping.

and hopefully hingis wins the women's, though she didn't look too great in her second round match.

That Serena Williams vs. Random Russian Chick match looked like Tennis Fat Camp.

Murray ended up losing it. Wish they would have shown the match. I havent been able to watch much this year, probably the least I have seen in over 10 years or more. Assuming they both win a Roddick vs Federer semi should be a good rematch of the US Open rematch. I was really impressed and surprised with Roddick during that match and im really anit-Andy

What a fucking great game!!!!!!

Murray has only his failed break points to blame. Otherwise he really could and should have beaten Nadal. Great future ahead of him. But we already knew this, right? Fabulous game!

His talent isn't overrated; he's just mentally weak.
