Caroline Wozniacki

Daniela Hantuchova

Oh man, Wozniacki is super hot! I wish I can bang her one day! Haha!

I love most sports so I've followed tennis most of my life. I miss the days of legit serve and volley players. I hate watching hardcourt tennis (Wimbledon & US Open) being played from the baseline as if they were playing on clay. Where are the modern day Beckers and Edbergs??

And Wozniacki is hot. And she has got game.

These guys bang too hard and are far too accurate to even get near the net sometimes. Two steps and the ball is past you.

Mats Wilander had the best overall game.

Kudos to Rafael Nadal for his historic feat. Another addition to Spain's great year in international sports.

a big congrats to RAFA! not sure if he'll equal Fed's 16 Slams,
but I bet he will reach double figures when he's done with the game.

fuckin' NFL interrupting a historic achievement.
(Nadal one of only 7 men to win a Career Slam).

okay, I don't really hate the NFL but it's ridiculous that
on a momentous tennis milestone, NBC couldn't make an exception?
I know, I know, stats says football is more
popular in this part of the world. there's no accounting for taste I guess.

and that semi final match between Federer and Djokovic was truly one for the ages.

There is accounting.....for ratings and tennis has none. Thus why they went to the football game. They know who butters their bread

Rafael Nadal's four-set win over Novak Djokovic averaged 2.17 million viewers between CBS and ESPN2, according to Nielsen. That's down 36 percent from the 3.39 million for last year's five-set final between Roger Federer and Juan Martin del Potro, all on CBS.

The 16 games played in Week 1 averaged 19.5 million viewers, which gave the NFL its best opening weekend on TV since 1987 when the league drew an average of 21 million viewers per game.

That should help put it in context for ya
