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.

LOL. That's okay, munchin.

I think it's especially frustrating when players you like are involved like with Roddick's loss. But, you can't be that surprised about Marat. And I think Isner got too overwhelmed and too worn out to do well to follow up his result. It's what he'll do from here on out after that win that will really be telling, just like with Oudin. I also find Murray's loss more fascinating than anything because of his continually poor results at the majors (save for his run to the semis at Wimby). What's that about and will it keep happening? I feel like it's kind of a cliffhanger and makes looking ahead to next year that much more interesting to see what happens next with these players. (See how determined I can be to find a silver lining?
