Belated congratulations

I returned from my holiday last Friday to discover that K had swipped the US Open title, helped by the shrewd choices of Szavay and Wawrinka as her unseeded players, thus denying me my last hope of a title this year. I shall have to rethink my planning for 2008, but well done to K on her third win of this year!

Congratulations also to Linsday Davenport who has caused me to think again about my marriage/tennis career theory by winning on her singles return tournament in Bali only three months after giving birth. I'm beyond impressed.

Pants!

Not only does Fish blow a 4-1 lead in the final set - there go lots of giant-killing points - I also lose Dementieva (at least I can stop worrying about her now) and Hewitt, who decides to stop playing well the moment I choose him. Still, at least Tsonga got rid of Henman for me.
