I know no one probably cares, but James Blake is on ESPN2 right now fighting for his tournament life. Roddick went out yesterday, so this leaves Blake as the only American that conceivably DO anything in the tournament.

Yes. I live in Australia and have been watching it pretty closely, along with the cricket. Agree with all your points to, especially the Sharapova point .
Bad luck about Rodick last night by the way. Not often u get 42 aces in a game and still lose… |

Yeah, he seemed pretty pissed about it in his interview, too.
Blake pulled out that win, though, which is amazing. Down 2 sets, and 4-1 in the 4th and still managed to win. Incredible. He just got helped by Cilic, who upset Gonzalez, and Blake should roll him. |

On another note can’t wait for the Hewitt, Baghdadis game. But like more than half of Australians will be rooting against the Aussie. He dose not represent us well lol. |

I'll be rooting for Hewitt simply because I'm not a big fan of Baghdadis. |

He said wankers. I love it!!! Roddick is really lacking the right coach. But then again, if Conners can't get him to adjust then who can? |

To me, James Blake has more potential simply because he's more athletic, and it seems like all the top players are just great all around athletes. They're all quick and have more than one trick up their sleeve. |
