1. Yep....
I never liked Jancovic (sp). And I am glad Nadal lost as he was winning too many matches. I will be rooting for Fedrer.

4. Actually I have been a fan of the Williams
For awhile. And I am hoping that Roger breaks Pete's record for number of slams :)

9. If it was Federer vs Nadal,
Edited on Sun Sep-07-08 08:58 PM by cwydro
I would be for Nadal. But I am not that big a fan of Murray.

Hope Federer wins, but I hope for a good match, regardless.

8. Lol, it's because of Hannah that tennis is on tonight
and the men's final is tomorrow night.

Thanks Hannah, I would have missed both otherwise.

Now if Ike will just be as nice to me....

10. It has been a very good Open.
So many qualifiers in the men's game that have real promise, they were so fun to watch. I was happy to see Nadal go down. I like him a lot but it was time for him to lose something (I don't know why so don't ask, I just decided that myself :)). Tomorrow will be fun to watch but as far as I am concerned I want Federer to win again. Murry will be good though and if he wins it will be fine.

Serena, you bet I am watching! She is so powerful and good. I missed the Quarter with Venus as her opponent. I always prefer Venus but am pulling for Serena all the way. I did hate to see her take out Safina. She has really grown on me this summer. Damn, Serena is magnificent isn't she?

12. That was an unbelievable final
Richard Williams has never been given the credit he deserves for his two daughters.

Bravo Serena - a true champion. Jankovic played her heart out but Serena and Venus are in a different league. Wow, just wow!!

11. Love the Williams sisters!
They do it their way! Jankovic was scared to death of Serena once.

She wondered out loud what it would be like to be hit by her ball.

I hope that's still in the back of her mind!

13. What an entertaining match!
Edited on Sun Sep-07-08 10:53 PM by No Surrender
Jankovic is such a drama queen, but she kept it much more interesting than I thought she would.

14. I watched the match and it was fantastic and I am sooooo happy Serena won! It was great tennis!
She was sooooo cute when she won and when she was being interviewed! I am still grinning over it!

It was also funny when Yankowic wanted to know how much money she won after she found out the Serena won $1.5 million!!!!
