Hey Julian, nice to hear from you. I'm good thanks - just a bit busy with life in general at the moment! Haven't had much of a chance to follow the tennis or read the articles on bleacher report lately...haven't written anything since the US Open! I'll probably start paying more attention once next season begins and when the Australian Open is on.

You were almost right with your "party of three" prediction! Roger was v close to winning the rest of the slams this year after winning the French. A great year to be a Roger fan!

How have you been? Hope life is treating you well :-)

Tomorrow is my one-year anniversary - I published my first article in Bleacher Reports on August 22, 2008. I am planning to write an article entitled "My Top Ten Reasons for Continuing to Write for Bleacher Reports." Please feel free to suggest reasons I should continue (or not) on my BB or in my "message" email. Because I am not funny - I am asking those of you who are to help me celebrate!

Thanks for doing this - JA Allen
