Nole,
How have you been?
Here is one unorthodox piece. Grand Slam Finals without Federer and Nadal.

Great news: Match postponed until 4:00 PM tomorrow.
We have a fair play now.

Novak sounded happy in the interview after he got the news.
I think he will do it. My hope has multiplied
.
Now I predict Novak to win his 2nd Grand Slam.

Nole,
I looked into the mirror and saw me upside down and tried to follow the image in reverse for a change. .
Hope you can bear with me for once.

We witnessed an absolutely eventful US Open this time, dotted with numerous incidents. Here's a pictorial compilation of all those moments in the singles draw which stood out and caught our attention during those 15 days.

hi NL

thanks for the feedback on the new idea - appreciate it

think Nole played very well - he laid it all out there ... proud of him

if only he had held on withj that 4-2 break in the first

Hi Nole! (By the way, did you borrow that from Novak? Pretty cool, anyway!)

I almost had to make a decision between watching U. S. Open tennis finals and opening week NFL matchups. Rain delays in New York City solved the dilemma; but which one would I have chosen? It would've been tennis. Read on to find out why:

Many thanks for becoming a fan.
You like Nole, I see! Also saw you did the latest CvC, and will catch up with that now!
Sorry not to have commented before, but so little time, illness while in New York, and now dreadful jet lag. Excuses, excuses. I *will* catch up...
