The office here is gloomy. The day is sunny and bright but no one feels sunny and bright. We all feel so disappointed that our hero Roger didn't walk away with his gold trophy. He saved a championship point. He pulled out five sets. He had his beautiful Mirka there.. He had the whole dream team.
Novak Djokovic dug deep to pull off a five set victory over seven-time champion Roger Federer.
Has anybody ever been more enthused to see anyone other than Rafael Nadal on the other side of the net against Federer?
Within minutes of the shock announcement that Andy Murray had chosen Amelie Mauresmo as his new coach, Andrei Chesnokov was having microphones stuck under his nose in the Players Lounge at Roland Garros.

It won't be quite as manic of a second Monday this time around at Wimbledon. Three men's third-round matches have not yet been completed, so only the top half of the draw will be making its way into the fourth round. Both Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray are bidding for quarterfinal spots.
Biggest casualty of the day was 13th seed Richard Gasquet who blew a 2-set lead against talented teen Nick Kyrgios who tweeted that he’d played his heart out, but he earned his third round place saving nine match points along the way for a 3-6 6-7(4) 6-4 7-5 10-8 victory.
Third-round action begins on Friday at Wimbledon with the side of the draw featuring Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray but suddenly lacking David Ferrer. Among those also in action are Grigor Dimitrov, Alexandr Dolgopolov, Tomas Berdych, and Marin Cilic.
Excitement may be like beauty. In essence, it is in the eye of the beholder. Lots of things are that way. Several men’s matches were filled with tense moments – just one element within the definition of excitement. But Wednesday at The Championships, the women’s matches were really not out of the ordinary.
Spots in the round of 32 will start being handed out on Wednesday at the All-England Club. Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray are among those back in action, while Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Ernests Gulbis could have tough matches on their hands.
Ate a Teppan restaurant here in Mexico last night, the ones where you sit ten people to a table and the chef/Samurai warrior builds little onion volcanoes that he sets aflame so everyone at the table can “ooh” and “aah “as he burns off his eyebrows.
Wimbledon gets off to its traditional Monday afternoon start with the defending champion taking Centre Court. This time around, it is none other than Great Britain's own Andy Murray.
The Rafael Nadal vs. Roger Federer rivalry could be renewed this upcoming fortnight in the Wimbledon semifinals on a surface that is most likely to produce a riveting match--not unlike the one at the All-England Club in 2008. That possibility was revealed on Friday when the two men with 31 Grand Slam titles between them landed on the same side of the draw for the year's second major.
Wimbledon top seed, Novak Djokovic arrived at The Boodles in a HR Owen silver Bentley with intent on playing his first match on grass this year against the Dutchman, Robin Haase. However following some sponsor commitments on site, after some consideration the world number two decided, as a precaution, not to play the match.
Another stunning day of warm sunshine for The Boodles at Stoke Park saw a host of players continuing their preparations for Wimbledon.
