US OPEN: My, what broad shoulders they have

[feather_ghyll]

Came home, was convinced Nicole Vaidisova was Maris Sharapova from her stance and the way she served. Saw her win. Watched the beginning and end of Djokovic's match. He played blindingly well from what I saw. Hopefully he'll have learned from Wimbledon, where he got to the same position as in the French (yes?) and ran out of steam and may even live up to the hype and make it to the next stage, rattling the duopoly. Interesting that, from what I've seen, people are discounting Nadal, almost. I watched something that was not tennis, then Andy Murray's first round was on and, as I knew the result and had stuff to do, I didn't watch. I really like watching my tennis unspoilt. But I can't see how I'm going to avoid results just so that I can follow Eurosport's programming.

Speaking of things to do, I have them.
