Tennis today: the long and short of it

  • I reluctantly left for work this morning with Mardy Fish leading Jo Wilfried Tsonga 2-1 sets. I thought it would be over in four sets. To my great surprise, I learned after my 7am lecture class that Tsonga had won in five sets. That must have been one crazy match!
  • Caroline Wozniacki coming back from a set and a double break down to defeat Svetlana Kuznetsova. I followed that match listening to the US Open Radio coverage. Yet another crazy match ending around half past eleven in the evening (US Eastern Time of course).
  • Left for my 12nn-1pm lecture looking forward to listening to coverage of the Roger Federer-Juan Monaco match. What a great disappointment to find that the match was over when I got back. Roger had cruised through 6-1 6-2 6-0 in a mere hour and 22 minutes!
