I have recovered from being temporarily at a loss for words.
So, who would have thought that it would be someone other than Federer winning the USO?
Come to think of it, who would have thought:
1. it would be someone other than Federer winning the AO?
2. it would be someone other than Nadal winning the FO?
3. Andy Roddick would put up such a worthy challenge at the Wimbledon final?
4. Andy Murray would make it to none of this year's Slam finals?
5. Kuznetsova would win the FO?
6. Kim would come back?
7. Kim would win the USO?
and so on...
Well, although I wish that some of this year's results were not what they were, it's nice to have some unpredictability after years of highly predictable and boring results. Good to have healthy competition in the mix.
Maybe there will be more surprises post-USO. After all, the year end stuff in the past did throw up unexpected matches like Nalbandian beating the top three, Gilles Simon beating Federer, etc. Among others on the trail of possibly interesting pre-Shanghai tournaments, there are the Davis Cup matches, and there's the Thailand Open (starting next weekend!), where Nadal is going to play!
(Wonder who they were rooting for)
