US Open

I spent most of this weekend watching the US Open. Overall, it has been what good tennis is like. One hundred miles plus aces, non-stopping rallies, and several deuces (god forbid, duece #8 in Roddick vs. Federer).

Last night, Maria Sharapova defeated Henin-Hardenne and following traditions, tipped over the trophy at the award ceremonies.

Andy Roddick struggled against Roger Federer since the start of the final match today. And just a second ago, Federer became the only person to win 3 Wimbledon and 3 US Open.

In closing, American Express like for other top level professional sport tournaments, featured Andy Roddick vs. Pong. Yes, the very first video game Pong. They also introduced the viral game at Stop Pong. This site has a very high traffic, I wasn't able to connect several times so if you do, don't close your browser until you beat Pong!
