The Final At Queens

All the big names went out early. I love an underdog- but there's a reason why a player is an underdog- and it's usually because he's not the most exhilarating player in the world.  Against better players than themselves Fish and Querrey had looked hot, but against one another they didn't. Games that are won on a succession of serves- bang, bang, bang, bang- that the other guy can't return are boring to watch.  That's why I lost interest in tennis when Sampras was king. Querrey won. Seems like a nice guy.
