Upset that Nadal is out, but Del Potro has been playing very well. The Djokovic-Federer match was way more exciting, with Fed pulling out a sexy between-the-legs shot to close out the match. Rooting for Del Potro to win, but it seems tennis is adapting very well to Federer, not the other way round. For women, Kim is my pick. Wozniaki plays only on the defensive, whereas Clijsters has the experience (even though this is her comeback tourney after having the baby) and well-rounded game tactics to win. Really happy to see 2 Indians in the finals of the Men's Doubles. Though Bhupathi-Knowles gave them a good scare, Dlouhy-Paes have been playing consistently throughout this tournament and deserved to raise the silver cup in the end.
I love how tennis has such a large fan base. Fans really do make a difference (Melanie Oudin's 'Cinderella Run', 2005 Agassi-Fed final) and I enjoy reading the positive reinforcement they give their favorites. Unfortunately, with the good comes the evil. YES-- evil. Shocking comments written by the fools of the world; all cowering behind the anonymity that the internet provides. Racist comments towards the William sisters, accusations towards players showing incredible stamina, and plain spite towards the victors that took out their favorites.
Head on over to Youtube/Yahoo message boards to see for yourselves...
