Very exciting!!

Quoted: Kim Clijsters won the U.S. Open in just her third tournament back after 2½ years of retirement and 18 months after the birth of her daughter.

Agreed!

Quoted: Celizic: The U.S. Open fined Serena Williams $10,000 for her outburst and tacked on $500 for breaking her racket. It’s not much of a fine for one as well-financed as Williams, but that’s the maximum allowed. It should be enough. Some may disagree.

Looking forward to this match...

Quoted: Serena Williams marched into the U.S. Open semifinals Tuesday, blasting No. 10 seed Silvian Pennetta 6-4, 6-3. Williams will face Kim Clijsters in the semifinals.

You can never count out the Williams sisters!

Quoted: Williams sisters still haven't lost set during Wimbledon this year.

I have to agree with Tracy Austin on this one...

Quoted: Austin:  Federer and Serena to emerge king and queen on grass.

Federer tends to get off to a slow start... I think this is his year to beat Sampras' record! Still, it's sad that Nadal had to withdraw and can't defend his title.

Wow, so crazy. Sounds like Djokovic and Delic were classy about the match's outcome, though. Also, nice to see Federer playing so well right now!

Quoted: Ethnic violence flared after defending champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia beat Bosnian-born American Amer Delic at the Australian Open on Friday. In other action, Roger Federer advanced to the fourth round with a straight-set victory over Marat Safin.

I see the writer's point - this definitely makes men's tennis more interesting to watch for sure. But I don't know that I'd really call Nadal a 'defensive' player - he really seemed to be dictating most of the shots in the Wimbledon final...

Quoted: Remember the early 2000s when men's tennis became almost unwatchable—booming serves, points that ended before you blinked, rackets blasting serves 130 miles an hour? With Rafael Nadal dethroning 5-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer, that no longer applies. Defense now reigns supreme.
