Federer Wins - Again

I feel like I need to comment on the US Open. How can anyone be an avid tennis fan and not write about the outcome? As a true fan of the game, I will stick to the men's side. Federer beat Djokovic in a three set final. I still maintain that Federer is the best tennis player around, but my adoration with Djokovic is growing exponentially with every match I see him play. He shows a lot of emotion, but it really gets the fans involved. He lets you know when he is happy, when he is proud of himself, and when he is frustrated. Federer, on the other hand, makes everything look easy and doesn't show much of his feelings. He looked very scary in all black and had reason to be. I wanted it to be more of a match though. The first two sets were good with Djokovic having a total of about seven set points that Federer denied him with his #1 player in the world skill. How frustrating would that be? Seven set points and you were denied every single one? That put him down by two sets and the third (and final) was not as exciting. I still give Djokovic points for making it to the finals because he had never even made it to a semi-final of any Grand Slam tournament before (check my memory) and to lose to the #1 player in the final - nothing to really cry over, I am sure.

Amen Sister! Djokovic does a great job imitating the other players though. His Sharapova is hilarious.
