Hi Eva,
The US Open Draw is released. I've analyzed the Men's draw, in addition to the Top Ten players' form and recent performance, and made some projection in an unconventional way.
Check it out. I am sure you'll like it.
Thank you so much,

Hi Eva,

Thank you for your kind comments to my (only so far) article... from a few weeks ago :-).

I was flicking channels one Saturday in April 2005 and chanced upon the second set of the Rolland-Garros semi-final between Nadal and Federer. Over the next minutes or hour I became a Nadal fan. Can you believe I didn't even know who Federer was until then ? I had not been following tennis since the days of Borg, McEnroe and the other fellas... It took a while but I became a Federer fan too... but can't stand the arrogance in half of what his says in interviews (especially after losses) :-). I love his playing though. Nadal, on the other hand, is my favorite player for many of the same reasons he is for others. And some of those are in that article.

I hadn't heard about those cases, but some prior tennis players have done similar things, like live in Monaco or Bermuda. I don't know that I have a really strong opinion on that, but if Rafa feels he can make a point that way, good for him.

Eva, just curious, but have you seen Wall-E?

If so, I was wondering if people ever say "Evvvaahhh!" to you. Anyway, thanks for all your comments on my articles.

All the best.
