Flavia. Sad to see Roberta lose, but I hope she gets a slam someday, too. Didn't end up being as close as it looked like it would be.

(34,111 posts)because of the players. I was hoping that Vinci would win, not sure why but I liked the way she played against Serena and that was probably really influential. It ended on a very positive note even though Pennetta is out now.
I was impressed with Djokovich last night when he explained that Cilic was playing on a bad ankle. I don't know, it seemed a real decent thing to say given what a blow out the match was.
I expect the men's final to be again, positive.
I much prefer tennis to be the focus and not antics that are mean spirited or bully behavior. I am so over that kind of action.
I see Venus won the Sportsmanship for the women this year. Perfect choice.
I hope to finish this out with a Federer win but I hope he does not decide to retire if he wins it! I am so not ready for that .

(32,064 posts)but thankfully Roger is stubbornly holding on for one more crack at the gold. If he could only win one more tournament as a pro in the open era that is the one I'd like to see him get. I couldn't bear watching after the third set last night.

(56,177 posts)Roger needed to be aggressive at all times, and for some reason he got tentative...I'm in agony...I don't think I can take another finals loss.

(56,177 posts)win from time to time, but knew little about because she never broke through...nice that she finally did.

(65,069 posts)Talking about how good a friend Vinci is, and then Vinci saying "then this is for me?". Good stuff.
