I'm kind of split on this one. I really like Nadal especially when he's beating Rodger. But I had the pleasure of interviewing him after a match after loosing a heart breaker to Agassi at the Open a few years back and he was really down to earth.

I'll admit I don't follow the sport as much as you all do. More of a majors type fan but this Tsonga guy is HUGE! Linebacker build. I'm still miffed about Serena. Errrrrr!

Hey Skee Stylus, I'll admit that I had to go ahead and make a choice up front because I am a HUGE Nadal fan too. But I've been following Tsonga for a while now and he has truly come of age. He's part of a small French contingent (Gael Monfils and Richard Gasquet) that I just love. Plus, I'm an underdog lover. I love to see the underdog thumb his/her nose at the best and come out on top.

Yes, Tsonga is a big guy, he's probably sending that ball back across the net with weight on it, LOL.

I'm still not ready to talk about Serena, my girl just wigged out on me. You were totally right on this one.

Great on the interview! Nadal seems like a family oriented, regular guy.

All i've been hearing about is Nadal...it's wonderful to hear about this rising star Tsonga-we're going to hear great things about this young black man!!

Hooray for Tsonga. I'm gonna have to catch him in action.

Yes we are Bria!! He is something else, I can't wait for the final.

You'll be thoroughly surprise Queeny. Tsonga has a tennis style all his own, but it's great!

I'm soooo looking forward to the men's final! It should be a good one, especially if Tsonga wins! Skills and a fabulous, engaging personality...all great for Tennis!

You and me both Unit6109. But to be honest, I'm a little sorry that Federer didn't make it through. I know that he can't win all the time, but I really like Roger and this history chasing thing, I want to him continue to beat all the records.

In the meantime, I want to see Tsonga teach Djokovic a few manners!

Isn't this wonderful Marc? Your friend has truly arrived in tennis!!

I was a little sad also for Roger because I am a FedHed. But he will get his record. He'll regroup and come back strong and then there'll be heck to pay! LOL! He may have a few chinks in the armour right now, but he's still the man!

I just said the same thing to my husband Unit6109. Roger is going to get it together and go on a tear after this, and the rest of the field is going to be in trou--ble!!
