US Open 2012

rankings race the rest of the year will be really interesting. Fed is defending a lot of points, but they're points at some of his best tournaments, and who knows how hard Djokovic will push the rest of the year.

sry for the grammar, it's late

Didn't come in here last night because I feared that my stream was 1-2min behind and I didn't want any spoilers!

So... (forgive if I've got the numbers wrong, it was back of a fag packet stuff yesterday during a meeting while looking idly at my phone!)
Fed 11,795 (3,000 to defend between now and Nov 12th)
Djoko 10,470 (560 to defend)
Murray 8,570 (1,930 to defend)
Nadal 7,515 (390 to defend)

btw, in "non US Open tennis news to make us all feel ancient", who remembers Rossana de los Rios? Former Paraguayan No 1, reached the Roland Garros last 16 in 2000, beat Coetzer and Seles in her time, also handed Vaidisova her final Wimbledon loss in 2009. Anyway her DAUGHTER, who I remember as this cute 5-yr-old who'd accompany her mum around the tour and with whom St Kim posed for many saintly photos, is now 15 and making her senior tournament debut this week in a Colombian 10K event...

Nice! I vaguely remember her though mostly because her name sounds like mine.

still not a Murray fan but... four different Slam winners this year! I like it. plus there's something kind of kismet-y about the thing with him and Lendl both finally winning one on the fifth try.

bummed about having had to miss pretty much every match from the QFs onwards though - completely swamped by work bs, and couldn't afford to stay up/wake up at ungodly hours for tennis. :( seems like the Vika/Serena match was decent?

Andy Murray and entourage went partying at Hakkasan NY last night. Total bar bill $6,500. Murray's share - one lemon soda for $6.
