US Open.....Anyone watching?

[GypsySorcerer]

Any other tennis fans here? I'm pulling for Agassi to win one more Slam, though James Blake is an incredble comeback story. I wonder if anyone can beat Federer, however.

On the women's side...I think it is pretty open. (Glad Serena is out; I like Venus much better.) Mary Pierce just beat Henin-Hardenne....I wouldn't mind seeing Pierce make a run.

Agassi advances to semifinals, and Davenport advances too. Im pulling for Andre also

I gotta go with my fellow Las Vegan, Agassi.<3 I think Federer is pretty much unbeatable though. As for the women's side, I want to see Davenport win it.

On a side note- I've been to Wimbledon and the Australian Open, which was a lot of fun.

I grew up watching Agassi. I love him. That's cool you've been to Wimbledon and the Australian. I hope to see a Slam someday.

I like Agassi better now than when he was younger. But, I LOVE Roger Federer. I'm rooting for him to win. He's such a classy, elegant player. He makes tennis look very easy, which it's not. I think he's the best player I've ever seen & as a bonus, he's also beautiful to look at too.

I do enjoy Tennis, but it's gotten sooo boring the last few years. There really arent any personalities any more. I know it's about what goes on on the court, but it's just not as fun to watch as it used to be. I can remember watching the Connors/McEnroe Wimbledon final in 1982. It went 5 sets. NOW that was entertainment. Roger Federer may be the only male tennins player I enjoy watching these days. He's such a nice guy and he plays well. Some of these other guys, all they know how to do is serve 100 miles per hour all the time. That's not fun to watch for me. AS far as the women go, the VenusVsSerena thing has run its course for me. But I will say I do find wome's tennis much more interesting to watch these days.

Here's an Agassi & Federer fan, and I cannot stand Xavier Malisse, he thinks he's John Mcenroe!

Doubles is my favourite, the Australian Woodies pair and also the Woodbridge and Bjorkman pairing are/were my favourites to watch.

I went to the Australian this year. The matches I saw were Federer vs. Safin and then the finals, Safin vs. Hewitt. On the women's side I saw S. Williams vs. Sharapova.

The atmosphere of the finals was incredible, since it was the first time in awhile that an Aussie had made it through. Too bad Safin won it though. Oh, and our seats were pretty close to Olivia Newton John.

Federer is an amazing player now doubt......certainly the best out there now. But, I do get tired of seeing the same people win.

I go back and forth on liking women's or men's more. A few years ago, it was women's. I always liked Capriati. But right now, the men interest me more.

Me too. I've always loved watching the men. I haven't really followed women's tennis all that much since Chris Evert retired. I'll probably be rooting for Lindsey Davenport this year. She's really made herself into a very good player. The Williams sisters just turn me off.

Congrats to Andre making the semis.......in one of the best matches I've seen in a long, long time. And congrats to Blake too on a fine run.

I like women's tennis, not men's as much. But it's very cool Agassi made it.
