Anybody here keeping up with the final tennis grand slam (US Open) in NYC? Maria Sharapova looked absolutely stunning in her red outfit with the diamond sequins in her night match tonite. Of all the sporting events, pro and college, the US Open at night ranks high on my list of favorite venues.

i'm a huge fan of the US Open. All tennis for that matter. Maria looked sharped, both in her outfit and how she played. Not really a Roddick fan, but hoping he can somehow actually beat Federer. I'd love for some sort of serious rivalry to heat up in the Men's Division. Nadal just isn't strong enough off of clay. The women's division is loaded with talent and fun to watch no matter how small the tourney.

I am also a James Blake fan. He plays well at the open. There is a 6-9 kid named John Isner that played and graduated from Georgia that may become a good player down the road.

Isner is from my hometown, and I actually played with him a couple of times, but that was a long time ago. He's got a 140 mph serve, and as the article in the Sentinel stated, he had 26 aces of the no 26 seed.

I hate to say that if it hasn't happened yet, it probably won't. He got swept in straight sets by Federer this year, so he's got a ways to go.

i agree with that statement. As much as i want someone to be out there ready to challenge Federer, there's not anybody. ESPN can talk up roddick all they want, but he's not going to seriously ever challenge him.

Rafael Nadal looks like crap against some scrub right now. He's got some knee problem and he's not really running very much. He's making lots of errors, too.

If Nadal escapes now, he's still not going to be a threat for Federer because that injury is going to slow him down.

So, we all know it will come down to him and Federer. The US Open is probably Federer's weakest also, but then again he's won 21 straight. I really want Roddick and Blake to make it deep into the tournament also.

I don't think Nadal has ever made the US Open finals. Given that he's hurting this year, I doubt this will be his first.
