Happy 4th...

Between Serena, Venus & Andy there are many reasons to feel good this 4th. First off, Serena is an absolute beast, she should give Kobe & Pau lessons on how to look tough. ARod played better against Murray than he's played in a long time. Along with his improved fitness he played with more patience & confidence. Not that I'd give him much chance against Rogerer, but maybe Mirka will go into labor and he'll get distracted.

Happy 4th all!

The second week...

Venus & Serena are looking good, watched a little of their double match - that's just scary.

ARod said he likes twitter 'cause he can follow the Huskers...I know that will make you all vry happy. ESPN had an article that said part of the reason he's doing so well this year, besides the fitness level, is the stability in his personal life. What do you know, man marries 21 year old SI swimsuit model and his life gets better. Amazing, what are the odds*

Don't worry ladies, NBC did mention that Andy banned her music for the fortnight because she likes cheesy pop crap. Ha! what a loser**

*sarcasm, obviously

**seriously, what is she 12? ...what me bitter? no, not bitter, happily married, you must be bitter and interpret my comments as such.

Trés Bon Rogerer, Au Revoir Serena

Yips Shankova managed to not mentally break down and beat Serena in three sets today. On the women's side there are two Russians, an Australian and a Slovak left in the draw...I'm pretty sure there's a joke in there.

Rogerer beat Gael Monfils (best name on the tour) in three sets, Rogerer woke up during the first set tiebreak and realized he's Rogerer Federer and put the smack down on the young frenchman.

And the Bryan Bros are still alive in doubles...
