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.

I love them both, it's too hard to choose!

Quoted: Once again, it will be Roger Federer against Rafael Nadal for the Wimbledon title. It will be left-hander against right-hander; finesse against force; cardigan against clam diggers. Federer versus Nadal is the sports rivalry of the moment.

I'm sad that James Blake is out - I'd love to see him win a major tournament. Looks like Venus is in it to win it!

Quoted: Sharapova sent packing and an error-prone Venus wins; James Blake is out as well.

This is big news for Federer - should be an easier draw for him. But Nadal is still the one to beat!

Quoted: No. 3 seed Djokovic stunned at Wimbledon.

I'd love to see Serena go all the way - you can never count out the Williams sisters!

Quoted: Serena stops Kanepri in Wimbledon opener.

This is such an uncharacteristic loss for Federer (although Nadal really has been unbeatable at the French Open). I wonder if he's still feeling the effects of mono from earlier this year...

Quoted: Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer 6-1, 6-3, 6-0, becoming the second player to win four straight French Open titles.

What? No way! She was still ranked as #1! Right before tennis season too...

Quoted: Henin retired from tennis Wednesday, an abrupt ending to a career in which she won seven Grand Slam singles titles and spent more than 100 weeks ranked No. 1.

Dang, good for Roddick! Let's hope this is a sign of what's to come for him this tennis season...

Quoted: Andy Roddick used his strong serve to upset Rafael Nadal 7-6 6-2 to reach the semifinals of the Dubai Tennis Championships.

Wow, Djokovic is really a force to be reckoned with! I mean, I know Federer's been sick, but it still looks like he's going to make men's tennis way more interesting...

Quoted: Djokovic ousts Federer at Aussie Open.
