Burn out is definitely the best way to put it. I certainly think it is hard to be focused all the time after 5 years.

As for winners...I always hope for an American to get to the final in the mens...just been to many good matches in years past when that happens.

Women? Is it wrong to want Sharapova and her ONLY forever?
I do wish Sharapova was playing. She's one of my favorites.

I think Roddick is a loose canon and splitting with Connors was a huge mistake. At the same time, I don't feel Blake can is strong enough to win 5 setters. I'm surprised he pulled that one out today. Isn't his record something like 4-11 when it comes to 5 setters? Of course, one or both of them could surprise us all.
