Emotional Final in the Midst

Dear Fellow Tennis Fans, and Tennis Talk Colleagues.  The women's final was a solid match, but didn't have as much drama as I believe tomorrow's men's final will.  Expect to see Roger Federer bring his best tennis to the court, and give a masterful display of grass court excellence; knowing that he is just 3 sets away from finally breaking the epic record of 14 Grand Slam titles.  On the other hand, Andy Roddick is the epitome of "tennis passion."  The Austin native has dedicated his life to the sport, and fights with more passion than almost any athlete that I've seen (with the exception of Agassi, Muster and Nadal).  Roddick's ability to remain in the top 10 is a testament to his hard work, which often goes unnoticed. 

     Whether you like A-Rod, or not, you can't help but respect someone who truly loves his craft and can handle media insults with continued confidence.  It will be a battle between two of the great ambassadors of our sport, a win by either player would truly help our game shine in the international spotlight; such as last year's emotional final between Rafa and Fed.  I predicted Serena over Venus, and Roddick over Federer [one week ago]....let's see if I can go 100%....  We love tennis.  take care, Harry
