Great idea Teresa, let's make the best of what's left of the USO now that there's no Marat! As for the men, I absolutely don't want to see Roger win ANOTHER GS (boooooooooooooooring, and I don't mean his tennis, just the fact that everyone assumes he's gonna win puts me off), I don't want Andy to win, and I don't want Lleyton to either (does anyone? ). I wouldn't mind Agassi to win since it could be his last chance, and it would be a great way to say goodbye to the tour. But I'll mostly be cheering for Richard Gasquet for the very silly reason he reminds me of a lovely summer holiday in France when I was 16 (or should I say a certain French boy, those suuuuuuummer niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiights! aaaaaaah, the good old days) For the women: Kim all the way!!!! Come on girl, you can do it!!!! But apart from Kim, I'd like to see Amelie doing well, and the same goes for Myskina and Dementieva! The USO might be Maratless this year, but I'll still find enough matches and players to entertain me!

Hahahaha Laney I LOVE why you would like Gasquet to do well, can think of no other better reason ;D I am sorry but I am not that fond of Andre, I agree this is prob his last USO, but its not enough for me to want him to win. I don't think he will, but if he can at least get to the second week that's ok Glad you feel the same way about Andy, Roger and Hewitt *lol* I would just love to see: Paradon's match against Younes that is going to be exciting, lots of show and fun I am sure and would also love to see Baghdatis/Tursunov, this should be good too *YAY* for Moya, but sorry Llodra had to retire, I hope he is okay COME ON Guga COME ON David I am okay with Kim, and yes too about Amelie, LENA *yahooooo* she won her match today, but unfortunately I dont think she will win the tourney I would LOVE Myskina to win, and if not Dementieva, but unfortunately she is not doing so good in her first round match

Totally agree with you Laney, I don't want Roger(He've got 5 GS under his belt, he should wait for other guys.) or Lleyton to win. Andy, because of his mojo(go ot http://www.andymojo.com) he doesn't deserve it too. And Tim and JC lost today, now who still left in the draw. I don't mind if Andre win the slam but still doubt on his performance lately. Maybe Rafa or Mario are more interesting. Marat, oh Marat, see what you did to us? BTW, I'm so sorry to Dinara and Svetlana. At least, we still have Elena and Anya. (She defeated my Thai girl, Tammy.) I hope Elena will meet Linsay in QF and beat her for the easiest draw that the USO gave to Linsay. (I like Linsay, just don't agree with USO.)

I watched Andy`s match today and I have to say that I really felt sorry for him... He played quite well..... BTW, I`m sure Muller played the best match of his life, LOL (great great serve!!!! Not only fast, but with nasty efect and well placed!!) And... Paulo C`mon!! Against Paul Capdeville!!! You must be joking!!! (Unless he played the best match of his life too.. )

Thought I'd entertain you with some quotes ;D taken from bbc.co.uk
US Open quotes "I don't really remember a loss where I've felt this bad afterwards - I'm in a little bit of shock right now, to be honest." Andy Roddick, the great American hope, struggles to come to terms with his defeat by Gilles Muller of Luxembourg.
"I don't know if he was faking it or if it was real" Gael Monfils after losing to Novak Djokovic, who takes two bathroom breaks, two injury timeouts and another aborted timeout after complaining of breathing trouble.
"I'm really sorry because Gael is a real good friend of mine, but I had to do it" Djokovic explains that when you've got to go....
"I felt like I was going to burp, and then threw up. It was pretty funny" Andy Murray looks on the bright side after redecorating Flushing Meadows' new blue courts.
"We were very close to stopping, but I'm so used to everything that I would have had no problem going back to the locker room. I was ready for delays and had brought some magazines along" Roger Federer was not about to let a little rain upset him.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't know too much what to expect. I really wasn't sure that I could be out there for that long" Gustavo Kuerten returns from injury to claim his third victory of the year.

Hi and good day everyone!!
Well, I wish I felt more sorry for Andy but just cannot. I am so proud of Muller, what a match, yep he played the match of his life. I know it was also Andy's birthday and it must have been terrible for him, lord a birthday he will wish to forget but always remember.
First of all I was so upset at the start of the match, Andy was so *cocky* so sure he was going to roll over Muller, and I hated the way Johnny Mac and whatshisname felt the same way and really upset by the way JMac was ridiculing Muller. I used to like JMac but I have had it with him. They were making snide remarks about Muller been Luxembourg's number one player, and were like, erhmmm if he is number one who is the number two hahaha, knowing very well that there are no other male players from Luxembourg.
Then they bring up the stats on the last four male players from Luxembourg and snigger at 2 been like 1420 in the world, I was furious. I actually switched to our Latin America ESPN so I would not hear them.
And then, Muller broke back and I went back to JMac whatshisname and ESPN to *gloat* yep it was wonderful, what a match. And Muller was so sweet afterwards, so so nice in his interview. I am so impressed by him. And he was so funny about playing Robbie G next,, because today he and Robbie G are actually doubles partners!!! Yep, and then they have to play each other in the next round.
Andy Mojo, *LOL* he was in the stands with Mardy Fish, I wonder what Amex will do now.....
Another thing, can you believe that Kolya's match was played like on court 6 or 8 can't remember, he is the number 6 player in the world. When they showed the very end the stands were like empty, JMac was saying it was not good, and they really need to improve the image of tennis, what a joke, its not going to improve until Americans change. Americans only go to matches where Americans are playing, they dont go when its Europeans or South Americans or other nations, and the fact that the organisers actually put Kolya's match out on the # 6 or 8 court is indicative of that.
Annie I loved the quotes, thanks
It was quite something with Murray, I dont know how he won in the end. As for Novak, I had not realised that so much was going on in the match as we did not get coverage, but Monfils really tried hard to win that match.
And.......... I am so happy that JCF lost and to Clement hahaha, really this one I was happy about.
And yes Jasmine at least we still have Elena and Anya

Then they bring up the stats on the last four male players from Brussels and snigger at 2 been like 1420 in the world, I was furious. I actually switched to our Latin America ESPN so I would not hear them. Hmmm, Teresa, I'm confused here: how can Muller be Brussels n°1 player when Brussels is the capital of Belgium? And last time I checked Muller wasn't Belgian, I think he's from Luxemburg (believe it or not, an even smaller country than Belgium, for those interested: it's jammed between Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany). But enough with my geography lecture (I'm sure I've bored you all to death ), I couldn't help but laugh when I heard Andy lost! No offense to any Roddick-fans out there, but there's something about this kid I just don't like! (and now we won't be getting another final where Andy gets thrashed by Roger!) The USO are getting more interesting by the day....

Oh and thanks for the quotes Annie, I'm just glad I didn't see Murray "redecorating" the court! Just wondering: how did they clean this mess up? And who was the poor man/woman who had to do this? YUK YUK YUK!!!!!
