US Open Updates

Feliciano Lopez took the first set from number one Roger Federer. That was a real surprise. Though no one expects Lopez can knock out the number one tuxedo man in the fourth round of the US Open.

UPDATE
Lopez is on fire, trading backhand with Federer and actually won the point.... Federer is slowly turning the game around, that's what a number one player can do, figure out your opponent on the fly and crack his game. Sharapova faltered when she couldn't come up with a plan B when played against Radwanska. As an aside, while plenty of spectators were rooting for Sharapova, her father-cum-coach is her toughest critic, he walked off the stadium before the match was over in total disgust, now that's some tough parenting. I totally digressed.

UPDATE
Lopez in the end was no match to tennis great Roger Federer. Federer, after losing the first set, regained his composure and rather quickly broke Lopez down in a four-set victory

    I am a squash player now. I haven't watched one tennis GAME for the past 4 years. Anyway, Sharapova is frigid. Who cares about her?

  3. A lot of people care about Sharapova, the USTA, her sponsors (Canon, Nike, Tag Heur, Wilson). She got talent, but she is not very composed as Federer or Henin.

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
