I've never really gotten into tennis until I watched the skill of this guy. Anyone watching the Open?

I started watching him a little last year since my Prez is in love with him... So, when he plays, I hear all about it from her...

He and Tiger have a running wager who will win more majors, I watch the quarters, semis & finals of the major tourneys. Federer is Tigeresque

Federer is amazing. I keep wondering whether he will end up with sole custody of the kids, or whether Britney will retain some visitation rights.

I don't understand tennis or hockey so I don't watch them, but can appreciate the athleticism it takes to play those games.

Federer got KILLED in the opening set last night. Then, he methodically disemboweled his opponent in straight sets. The man has mad skilz.

The same thing happened in the earlier match when he played that 6'-9" Isner. Isner looked unstoppable but Federer adjusted and took him apart.

I'm an NTRP 5.0 and I don't know if it makes a difference if you play tennis or not as far as watching/understanding the game, but what Federer is capable of is just incredible.

See link below.

National Tennis Rating Program

If you are honest, you can rate yourself, but the official way is to take a rating lesson with a certified tennis pro.

My tennis game (unlike my racing game) is a case of "the older I get, the faster I was."

Wow! Playing at a 5.0 rating is impressive CAP. I met my wife playing league tennis. I was playing at a 4.0 and she at a 3.5. Between that and Karate, I was in the best shape of my life. 10 years of marriage and now I'm the Michelin man!!(maybe not quite...I just feel like it) It is neat that Federer and Tiger are pretty good friends with both being tops in their sports.
