I don’t blog about tennis, although it is the only sport I play and have since about the age of seven. I still get out there about three times a week. So I woke up this early this morning for the Wimbledon finals, about six AM Pacific.
WHAT A MATCH! It’s now 12-12 in the fifth set. Neither of these guys deserves to lose. They should just call it a draw and give both the trophy. The level of tennis is extraordinary. It’s the longest finals in Wimbledon history in games played. Wow!
UPDATE: Well, someone has to lose – and it was Roddick. I’d love to see Andy win it some day. He played magnificently. I’ve been a special fan of his since earlier this year he chose not to defend his title in Dubai when the racists who run that tournament refused to grant a visa to Israeli player Shahar Pe’er. Stand up guy.

1. Barry Dauphin:I saw much of it and all of the last set. Great match. Roddick playing better than ever, and Federer as cool as can be. Nothing rattles him. Borg used to seem unflappable but cold. Federer seems totally at peace out there, notwithstanding his distress at the Australian. He could get 18-20 slam titles if he decided to play 3-4 more years, a record that would probably last a long time.

You failed to root for Roddick. Instead, you voiced support for that Socialist Swede.
You are a traitor to your nation, to capitalism, to democracy, and to the Conservative movement.
Need to keep an eye on RINOs like you, Comrade.
