Classy and excellent post game speech by Sharapova

it is...but too long...could be shorter

I wouldn't be able to talk that much after gettin my ass handed to me on a gourmet platter.

I'd be looking for the nearest sofa.

haha, the sofa. i remember a couple of years ago when carlos moya played alex corretja in the french open finals. i think corretja came in as runner up and spoke perfect french to the crowd, gave some long-winded speech and upstaged the winner, moya!

haha, serena thanked mike wallace, that's cool!

[ponky]

that's pretty sweet, that was so weird about her sister couple of years ago

Was there any doubt Serena was going to absolutely dominate this cute ass Russian chick?

Well, she did have a (1) next to her name, so yes.

I said Sernea was back but damn she kicked ass.
The men's semis were so boring I hate those totally lopsided matches. Hopefully the final will be better but I doubt it. Gonzo's playing well but he's never played in a match this big before and I think nerves will get the best of him, plus playing Rog is not exactly an easy task. He made Andy look like total out there. Loved Andy's press conference though, he always makes me laugh

Sharapova is only #1 in the world and Serena pretty given no shot to win the tournament when she started. She was #81. Go figure

[Horry For 3!]

in Serena Williams I wanted Sharapova to win.

Federer vs Gonzalez tonight on ESPN2 @ 2:30 am CST


It is goin to be sweet

[SAtown]

I can't wait for this match. I want to see some good play from Gonzalez, cuz if he doesn't bring anything close to his A game, he's getting his ass kicked.

[Horry For 3!]

This match is good so far. Gonzo up 5-4 now and serving, which could give him the set if he wins the game.

[Horry For 3!]

Damn, this is insane. The kind of shots both are making.

[Spurologist]

Did Gonzo choke away the set or did Federer step up his game. Both.

This match will get very interesting if Gonzo keeps his head.

[Horry For 3!]

One of a first set. 7-6 Federer.

Second set should be interesting, we will see if Gonzalez can keep his head into the game still and not fall apart.

[Spurologist]

Game.

Set.

Match.

[Horry For 3!]

Federer wins the second set in a back and forth game at the beginning.

Federer 7-6 6-4

[Horry For 3!]

I think Federer will dominate the third set for the win.

I say Federer goes 6-1 in the third set

[Horry For 3!]

Well I got that prediction wrong. Gonzalez up 2-1 in third set now.


I am impressed that he is still working hard and not giving up.

[Horry For 3!]

Federer wins the match

7-6 6-4 6-4

[Horry For 3!]

He never dropped a set the whole grand slam, that is amazing.

[Spurologist]

There's the Federer league and then there's one for everyone else

[Horry For 3!]

I am very impressed with Gonzalez though. He gave Federer his all and made him really work tonight.

[themvp]

Federer is just amazing and we can be glad for watching his era.
