The End of an Era?


Rodger Federer keeps losing. He lost the Australian Open. He lost the French Open (not really too big of a surprise there). But he lost Wimbledon. The king of the grass courts lost in England? WHAT?! It has been a long time since Federer lost at Wimbledon, 5 years in fact. But he hasn't won a grand slam all year. What the HELL!! My heart is broken. I'm not sure if he's in a slump or the other players are finally catching up to his greatness and raising their level of play. Only time will tell for sure.

He also lost in the Cincinnati tournament this week. If Rafa wins there, he'll be the new no.1. I'm still holding out for a win at the US Open.

Nance~you're probably right...the baby doesn't allow me to be as focused. Do you think you can keep Micah for the 2 weeks of the US Open?

When is it? If it's 6-8 weeks AFTER august 12, we're good. Before or during that time, I'm only one-armed, and I cannot recommend my childcare. HE DESERVES BETTER!!!!!!!! LOL

Nic~I'm NOT a fair weather fan...I'm sticking with the Swiss...this is just a slump. You don't go from winning a gillizion titles a year to only 2 just because someone else got better. I repeat...this is just a slump. Humph.
