@ReggieDunlop: Substitute Ivanovic for Sharapova, & you have my hard-court fantasy.

I've always wanted to "play doubles" with Sharapova and Hantukova.

Here's why I have trouble warming up to Federer - he looks way too much like Quentin Tarantino (unsexiest man alive) and dresses like my grandfather.

I do, however, support any and all efforts to post pictures of Nadal.

In all seriousness, though, the real reason anyone should go watch the US Open is that seeing pro tennis live is so completely different from watching it on TV. Grounds passes are not that expensive, and seeing them play up close, even if they are no-names on an outer court, is just amazing.

The US Open and whenever the Cubs play at Shea are the only time people who've moved to New York ever head out to Queens. Losers.

If you ever want to witness something scary, watch Luke Jensen do analysis for ESPN on mute, or in a crowded bar. There is much anger in his eyes...

Thank you. Let me just reach for me shawl and some chamomile tea while I put on some Lawrence Welk records.

If Sharapova got spanked on clay more often, I think there would be a lot more male fans of the French Open
