C'MON!
OK, the short-term depression after the weekend's shellacking to my personal finances is well and truly over and back on the horse, so to speak.
The Pakistani cricketers winning the 3rd ODI helped, and I find it ironic that after the test series and all the problems with the fitness of their main bowlers, the shoe is now well and truly on the other foot with England now experiencing injury problems. I still can't see how England will win a game, unfortunately neither can the market and there is not much value in the prices.
The US Open has seen more rain than tennis, and the compressed schedule caused by the rain delays adds a new element to assessing matches - fitness and recovery time. For example, how can Haas get past Davydenko after two five-setters on the trot?
The quarter I'm looking forward to is Roddick v C'MON (that's Hewitt). A lot of people are getting seduced by Roddick's return to form, but C'MON leads the head to head 6-2 and as long as he has recovered from last night's 5-setter, Hewitt has the game to win. Should be worth trading at least.
Tomorrow will see Federer take on Blake (I'm assuming he'll win his fourth round match) which also will be worth playing around on. Certainly a tougher match for the FedEx than a potential semi-final against Haas or Davydenko.
I won't be updating the blog until next week - this weekend I have my last NZOF Council meeting down in Wellington followed by a poker tournament on Sunday. So until then, ciao.
P.S. This blog is 1 year old today. It's had about 10,000 hits and I get around 220 unique visitors a month. Currently I'm thinking of either pulling the pin or putting more effort in to make it bigger and better (including getting off my ass and doing something about making it known). Any feedback from occassional and regular readers is welcome.
