Obviously the first place I checked (after Obner ;^). Not sure where you're seeing these supposed options. Can you please point them out?

I'm listening to this shit on internet radio. It's almost more goddamn intense this way, I don't like it. Especially when it craps out.

Are you kidding about Steffi, though?

I only like Wimbledon.

Clay courts are too harsh on the eyes.

Agassi is gonna die before the end of the tournament if he keeps having matches like the first two.

I play almost exclusively on clay. Less harsh on the legs and slows the ball down a touch.

I listened to the last 2 sets last night. Crazy stuff. Agassi's a precious player.

I always had a thing for Martina Hingis, myself.

But as far as the men go, 2 words:
Arthur Fucking Ashe

(not a "thing" for him. he was just The Man)

Cheering on Tim Henman for his game against Federer. I don't care about the scottish guy though.

While he was a great player I think he gets more attention for his off the court stuff than his play.

He's in the top 20 all time but any of the champs from the late 70's on would smoke him.

Johnny Mac, Bjorn Borg, Ivan Lendl, Boris Becker, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, Agassi, Rod Laver.......all better on the court.

we live about 4 blocks from the (an?) Arthur Ashe monument. It always looks to me like he's about to beat this shit out of these kids:

i've never been much of a tennis fan, but in hi-def with the agassi storyline, I could be here on the couch all day.

I think Agassi is going down in this one, he looks like a hobbled QB trying to lead one last game winning drive.
I'd like to see him win and have Roddick end his career in the next match.

I didn't watch the end. I don't think I would have cried. I did tear up yesterday watching gameday when they did the piece on Northwestern and Randy Walker's death.
