*sigh* I can't believe that the one year I had to miss the final weekend turned out to be such a special one for Martina. What a note to end on! I'm hoping that her induction ceremony turns up online somewhere.
And, I AM a big fan of Roger - have been since he won the Jr. Wimbledon championship. And now he's the first one to win Wimbledon and the US three years in a row! They won't be the last, probably. And he'll probably continue to display the grace and poise that is lacking in so many high-profile athletes. I continue to feel hope because of people like him and Tiger, who present positive images for youth and do so many good things with their blessings.
Since I can only go by the match statistics, all I can say is that the women's final must have been . . . different. Good for Maria to show she wasn't a one-hit wonder - but I still wish she'd tone down the screaming. I can't watch her play with the sound on!

DG, when she won, she acted like a champion. She was excited and she just looked for her father. Henin-Hardenne(sp) looked devastated though.
Federer, as good as he is, is a machine. He's not even fun to watch anymore.
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

"He's not even fun to watch anymore."
People used to say that about Pistol Pete, as well - and I liked him, too 
I'm always entertained watching something executed perfectly.
I can't say I'm too big on Justine - I think she plays games other than tennis. And how nice to know Ms. Sharapova handled it well - she earned it.
