US Open starts
Kim Clijster's in the first match on Ashe. Good luck to her.

1. She seems to be winning easily...I'm rooting for Federer
I'd like him to win a few more before he retires so there's no question about him being the best...I'm sorry, but Rod Laver wasn't, it was a different era, and NO ONE except Aussies played the Australian Open back then...that adds to his titles. He was the best of his era, and one of the greats, but not up there with Roger.

2. Roger plays at 1PM I believe
I'm sure he'll win more barring anything unforeseen happening to him.

Kim won handily.

3. Yeah, he's playing in the zone these days...
...I'd like to see Andy Roddick win something big again, and Nadal and Murray never win anything again.

Safina makes you sweat it out in the early matches, won 6-4 in the third after trailing 3-1.

8. That was not pretty. (another spoiler)
Ivanovic has sure fallen a long way from her Number One ranking. She lost in the first round tonight.

I like the young American, Melanie Oudin. I hope she does well.

9. I guess Ana is more of a headcase that I thought possible...
...no serious injuries, she just can't get her s**t together.

10. Spolier!
Amelie lost, quite easily, too. Everytime I think she's making progress on her comeback, something like this happens. Probably time to finally retire, although if she still enjoys playing, she probably still should play.
