Wimbledon 2009

This is a Wimdbledon without Nadal. I think nobody is really happy about it, except maybe some other players. Would Nike be happy about it given it pays Nadal some millions to wear its sports attire? Would the general tennis fans happy about it? Absolutely not. I didn't bother to Google the prize money but it's like Federer is having it in his pocket already. So where is the competition? Andy Murray has a pretty good record against R Fed but then again this is Wimbledon, an event that's kind of bigger than life. Murray still has yet to win a Grand Slam title. It would be interesting to see how well Robin Soderling is holding up in his post French final performance.

The state of American tennis? I think it's going down the toilet. Make it gone down the toilet already. James Blake just got ousted in the first round. I think it's going to take a miracle for Andy Roddick to win. The guy got some talent but I think he is not focused enough. On the court, he is ALWAYS distracted. Always.

Roger Federer just sent Taipei's Lu Yen-Hsun home by beating him in three straight sets.

Civil War (2024)

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....
