what was absolutely priceless was the French crowd - who hate EVERYONE - cheering Roger during the match.
Andre Agassi. I always loved to watch him play, with or without hair. The year he first won Wimbledon, *I* cried.
Pete Sampras was indeed a great player and duller than dishwater to watch. Slam-whoosh. Ace. Not to take away from his talent or his record, of course.
It was nostalgic to see Bjorn Borg in the crowd. I do NOT like Robin Soderling. Although Rafa needed to descend to cruising altitude, and I though he was gracious in his loss last week, I wish it hadn't been Soderling that beat him.
Wimbledon is always a favorite tennis event. I suspect this year Rafa is going to show up loaded for bear this year - bring his best serve and his best game. Although, he always does.
