16!

Oh, Rog! 16 slams! But poor Mand. I felt for him.

There were tears again, not Roger's this time. What is it about the AO that makes everyone cry?













“I can cry like Roger, it’s just a shame I can’t play like him.”

Oh, Mandy moo. Your time will come.

From Rog's presser:

"I thought he was actually doing fine until he told me, I think there will be some tears. I'm like, Don't worry, it will be all right. And he actually did.

You know, in a way it was hard to watch, but at the same time I like seeing players who care for the game. I don't know. It's nice to see, you know. So you wish, you know, only the best for him."

I did feel sorry for Mandy during his speech, but the bottom line is he came out and served like a Wilbur for two sets. He lost because he played badly, and he needs to deal with pressure better if he's going to win. Both guys started a bit woolly, but Roger pulled it together much earlier.

So I didn't feel as sorry for Mandy as I did for Andy Roddick last Wimbledon, because Roddick didn't actually do anything wrong, poor guy.

A Wilbur - lol! Yeah, he wasn't at his best. It was noticeable that he wasn't pumping himself up or getting angry and I wondered if he was feeling constrained by the magnitude of the and if that affected his game.
