Olympic Rundown

Dear fellow tennis fans, there is a lot of excitement surrounding the world of tennis as the Olympic Games have begun (the 5th Major of 2008, leaving Key Biscayne as the 6th).  It's an honor to be covering the action for NBC Sports, NBCOlympics.com....stay posted for analysis throughout the Beijing Games!  All eyes in America will be on James Blake for a run towards a medal, while the Williams Sisters are also top favorites in the women's bracket.  The great Cinderella story to watch for is Jill Craybas, as she got a last second bid into the women's event as an alternate.  The most interesting player to watch is Roger Federer; if he is able to capture his first career Gold Medal, it could give him a much needed boost going into the US Open.  Expect to see Federer and Nadal to be fired up for the Olympic event.  Best of luck to all athletes and countries.
