Sorry Charlie (80's callback!) I need epic semis and finals. It's promising that some players are consistently getting deep at majors, but the blowout/collapses at the end are so frustrating. If Serena takes the USO in straights, that will be 8 non-competitive finals in a row (you might argue the '11 FO, I didn't watch it though). The only 3-setter was '12 Wimbledon and that's just because Serena fell apart in the middle. The reality is that Serena's only consistent rival is... Serena.

The last decade of men's tennis wasn't golden because the same guys won all the events, it was golden (for me at least) because I was cheering for two weeks for players I wasn't even a big fan of, just so I could see the epic battles at the end.
