What's up with Fed though? That was painful to watch today. If it was a matter of physical conditioning I could understand it, what with his age and two young kids and all - but that wasn't what stopped him today. I don't think I've ever seen him spraying errors and faltering on serve as much before. I hope he gets back on track next year - his rivalry with Nadal is about the only really interesting thing tennis has going at the moment.

You must be kidding right? I've watched and enjoyed this entire tournament from the first day. From Djokovic surviving a first round scare against his good Serbian friend, to Wavrinka playing hours and hours of 5 setters to Wozniaki hitting 40 errors yesterday. Tennis isn't about just these two guys and the skill on display in this tournament has been the best I've ever seen.
The skill level of even the 50th ranked guy is absolutely remarkable. The stamina they have, how the cover the court, how they hit the ball from corner to corner. It's almost sueprhuman!
Federer is still great but he'll drop off now and we'll see the new guys come up.
Nadal-Djokovic is the next great rivalry. Part One tomorrow.
