Venus won. Cool.
I got up this morning and caught the start of the match but then had to go to work. Serena was dominating and I feared it would go wrong for Venus …but it turned out alright. I’ve always liked Venus over Serena because she isn’t as ’sketchy’ in her play. She’s more consistent and seems less prone to emotional outbursts. She just goes about her business – she just does it. Calm and cool.
I was never a fan of McEnroe when he was playing Borg …ditto goes for Connors. I hate ‘hot-heads’. Sure, it’s what get them into their game at times, but then maybe I could argue that they should be in their game before it starts. That what I like about Federer and the others who keep their cool when down. I don’t especially like his ’style’, that is – it’s more exciting for me watching the guys who come to the net more …the guys who take chances more often. Pete was like that at times. What I like about Federer is his level-headedness. When he’s up – it’s not ‘in your face’, and when he’s down – he’s not crying to the crowd.
Arm pumping Nadal can lose in straight sets and I’d be happy.
