Not much point in going on about how happy I am as a Scot and tennis fan, and how long I have been waiting for this for Murray to win a Grand Slam, so I will just point out Djokovic won the Australia Open, Nadal won the French Open, Federer won Wimbledon, and Murray won the US Open. It just shows you how good and open the the tennis is today. I am looking forward to the ATP World Tour Finals. Also I think Murray is going to win the Australian Open in January hard court is clearly his best surface.

Oh wow, I never actually thought of all of it that way, mostly because I'm not terribly observant towards who wins what - I just like to watch

My boyfriend is Serbian so Djokovic is like a god in our house, but I will say here that I think Murray is definitely in his prime right now! His performance at the Olympics confirmed that for me.

Nadal has slipped to No. 4, and honestly, I think he's been trying way too hard to get back into the top spot - he's been so aggressive when playing the other 3 that he ruined his knees, and missed out on the big tournaments like the Olympics and US Open, plus Cincinnati and the Master's 1000 in Toronto. If he wants to stay near the top he can't afford to miss another tourney.

I think he is going to be fit for the Barclay's ATP world tour finals in November.

I'm really big on del Potro and Kohlschreiber of late. The latter is really coming into his own, and the former is playing right up there with the best of them. My allegiance is still with Fed, though. I'll root for him against anyone. I've been watching him for years.

He better be, only because I want to see him get completely mowed down by Djokovic.

I can't wait to see a rematch either, though I'd be rooting for Murray. I'm glad he won, but he had an advantage since Djokovich had such a slow start because of the wind. If it hadn't been for that I imagine Murray wouldn't have won. Hopefully having a Grand Slam will improve Murray's confidence, otherwise he'll probably go back to the best of the second tier players pretty soon.

Damn. Apparently it's on at 4:30 AM tomorrow morning here... Don't know if I'm that dedicated to watching it. My boyfriend will watch it for sure, because he's a huge fan of Djokovic (naturally, lol). But I don't know if I can just get up that early especially since I might be going out tonight.

It is a Sunday though. I would rather get up at 4:30am than stay up until 2:15am when my alarm is set for 5:40am like I did for the US Open final.
