Yes, I got it wrong. Very badly in fact.  What a game although I am not sure it was the greatest match ever. What about Sampras v Muster US Open when Pete had been told his old coach had died. He was playing with tears. Went to 5 as I recall and he won. That was emotion. However, I still agree that Nadal v Roger was a brillant game. It really felt that Nadal was always going to win for some reason. If it had not rained surely it would have been over in 3 sets.  I am not sure Roger can win the US Open in Sep and I think there will a new number 1….this being Nadal.

Cricket starts this Thursday. Lots of yap I see from Smith. Interesting as I feel the yap fires KP up but I guess Smith cannot help himself. Will be interesting to see how the SA quicks go at Lord. The wet weather this week will make it a seaming deck. This will also help the England quicks as my gut feel is that the SA batting lineup has not been tested on a greentop.  My prediction for what it is worth is a draw. The rain will play a part.
