Are you KIDDING me? I have enjoyed this US Open so much....I admit to being a bit disappointed at the top half of the women's draw but other than that....I confess that I've watched every bit that Tennis Channel ESPN2 and CBS has to offer.

I loved it Shocked over the Murray loss....thilled over the Oudin display, thrilled over Kimmy's return, thrilled over Serena's performance, thrilled over the WS doubles display and LOVED their match with Kleybanova, THRILLED over Taylor Dent's return, not shocked at ALL over Dinara's defeat and am disgusted with her coach's display, DEPRESSED as all hell over the Safin loss / retirement.....LOVED Roddick's match with Isner.....loved it but..sad and heartbreaking for Andy BUT loved his interview..it shows the maturity and growth of Andy when I think about how cocky he was a few years back....LOVE the return of the raging bull and boy is he raging! I love it ALL!! As Venus said...."This is the US Open Baby!"

I have to agree; I've really enjoyed it. Unexpected stories and upsets...the return of favorites...not to mention some of the upsets and stories have been about Americans at a time when folks are bemoaning the state of American tennis.

I just don't think the tennis has been all that great. I'll concede Oudin because her matches have been some of the most exciting I've seen all year. But I'm fed up that I haven't seen all that many matches with both players playing very well at the same time. The Dinara match(es) was sad for a number of reasons. The Roddick-Isner match had a really disappointing result and Isner couldn't even follow it up. The Venus-Kim match I'd been waiting for was utterly bizarre, Andy Murray, just when I was starting to like him, get's his butt kicked. Marat could barely be bothered to show up. Rafa and Serena, my 2 faves are still in but I'm just not excited for some reason and this rain has ruined the day. There had better be some darn good finals.

Sorry, I just realized I put a negative spin on all the positive stuff you guys mentioned.
