HF#71 - 2008 NY US Open Tennis Reflections

Make Time for Small Reflections

5:50am
Sipping coffee ... hoping the
cobwebs in my mind

will soon disappear
giving way to a
creative idea.

Novak Djokovic
played a top-notch match last night.
Andy Roddick seemed

'off' ... even though he
raised his game mid-match and pushed
back ... creating hope

we would see 5 sets.
Serving at 5-3 ... he dropped
serve as he had done

three times in set 1 ...
and (although it went
to a 4th set tie-break), he

couldn't regain his
momentum ... and now
just 4 men are left.

Murray plays Nadal
Djokovic plays Federer ...
if 'weather' does not

disrupt play in these
semi-finals Saturday.
(Hannah's moving North)

Today the women's
semi-final matches are
scheduled to be played.

Serena against
'Safin's little sister' ... whose
name is Dinara.

Dimentieva
battles against Jankovic.
Both matches could be

close and fun to watch
but most likely won't compare
to the match between

the Williams sisters
Wednesday night on Center Court.
What a match THAT was!!!

Venus - 10 'set points'
unable to make 1 stick ...
Serena covered

the whole court ... running
like the wind from side to side
... astonishing shots!

If rain delays halt
play this weekend, I suspect
it will 'air' again.
