Turns out that Andrea Jaeger threw her 1983 Wimbledon finals match against Martina Navartilova(sp?). I wonder why it took her 25 years to finally come clean about it.

If he wins this he has a very good chance of taking over the #1 spot by year's end.
He will probably be the next dominant player after Federer is done, and he'll have slams for years to come, because, barring injury, he's a man among boys on clay, and will probably be the favorite in wimbledon for years after Federer starts slipping.

I like Nadal even more than Federer.

I'm watching the British Grand Prix, it's just stopped rainig there but the track is soaking. The rain seems to be coming and going every few minutes, 2.30 is very optimistic IMO.

Apparently there has just been an announcement at Wimbledon to say play will start in the next 10 minutes, that shut me up haha. Must be nicer in London than where I am and where the Grand Prix is.

Federer seems to be coping with Nadal's serve reasonably well. He's had chances to break before.

How long do you think it'll be before an American becomes relevant again in Mens Tennis? I miss Pete Sampras

Don't hold your breath. There's a boatload of talented Russians, Serbs, Czechs and whatnot coming in right now, so it might be a while.

Yet again as well, goes from 15-40 to deuce. Now he has advantage as I type, let's see what he can do.

Donald Young is the only hope, and he doesn't look too good right now
