It's certainly your style, disliking a player for any other reason except his play.




I don't get the liking/disliking players in much the same way I don't get the liking/disliking teams. All I'm interested in is a good match... caring who wins seems crazy to me.

Confused  What is the point of watching a sporting event if you don't care who wins?  That is generally the point of a sporting event.  Unless your talking gymnastics or figure skating in which case it is more about the performances for entertainment purposes.

Entertainment and novelty value, mainly. Personally, an entertaining contest is more important than whether name 1  beats name 2, has nicer hair or is more British. I just don't see why I'd support anyone over another if they're already competing in a relatively objective fashion. maybe if I thought they were a better player, but then, if they were and they played better on the day, they'd win anyway, so it'd be uneccessary.

Djokovic out. Murray up by a set.

I had a feeling Djoko would take an exit.  After a lot of initial hype, his consistency leaves much to be desired.

Well, at least I won my Federer match perfectly so far. I'll have to see how the other 2 go.

If Safina beats Venus though, that won't happen.

Hmmm well Djoko Homo lost, as I predicted.  I want Hewitt to win but he's losing in the first set... early days though.

Murray has got his break back in the second,  He's not playing fantastically yet but he's just suddenly upped his game.

Thank you.  It was a good day.  Treated myself to some new CDs.  And went to a free Detroit Symphony Orchestra concert in the park.  I went with my sister's family, so my young nephews were inadvertently exposed to some culture.  LOL  I suspect that Rico would consider it to have been a Pop concert.  They played for a little over an hour, and it was all marches.  I recognized a little over half of the songs, so that is what would make it pop symphony.

And Pat, that album just gets better and better.

Oooh, Murray has broken twice in a row and pretty easily too.

I can see Murray through to the final.  Plays the Hewitt/Roddick winner, no?  I think he beats either one of those guys.
