SR V: To boldly go where no room has gone before

Only Kornotrotnoank is similarly repetitive. MDK travells through several parts, while, yes, being internally just as repetitive.

I'm not criticizing Zeuhl-default repetitiveness, I'm criticizing TH's excessive and unimpressive repetitiveness.

You've got a point there, but as a tournament "surprise player", I already nominated Lisicki.

Besides, Tangerine Dream are nothing but repetitive and snoozeworthy.  You should therefore not be complaining at something that isn't remotely repetitive.

I know he's been busy this week (his family's moving sometime this summer and he's helping get everything organized) and he hasn't mentioned anything about it to me lately. So either it'll be sometime this week or he'll make up for it with 2 quizzes later. At least that's what I would guess.

No quiz, btw?

Alex will completely disagree with you, Rico.  He'll also disown you.

Well he got to the US final.

And he's beaten Fed and Rafa before.  So yes, I think we'll see him win a Slam eventually.  He needs to concentrate on his 1st and 2nd serves though.  Especially the latter.  It's too weak.

I agree, Rico.

Now I wonder what Murray vs. Federer would have been like... to be fair, I think Murray's serve would have let him down in this final.

However, at least we may have got a more exciting game.  One thing Murray has, is amazing ground strokes and a superb backhand.  He can hit winners from almost anywhere on his day.
