Great lens you've got there, I'm not generally much of a fan of tennis but found myself glued to the Andy Murray Wimbledon games (being British I've been very pleased with his progress over the past few years!) I didn't catch any of the US Open, it was a shame Murray lost out in the final though... it's been a while since we won anything tennis-wise (or had anyone particularly decent at the sport for that matter.) Anyway, I digress; like I say, I really enjoyed your lens and roll on The US Open 2009!

Rafael Nadal
Wordilydoc says:
I think at this point Nadal is the hungrier of the two and therefore he is working much harder. It could also be that Federer needs some rest since he has been playing so long without a break. However, that doesn't take anything from Nadal, he is a great athlete and he continues to show that.
