No? lol not surprising. It gets poor ratings, especially since it's one of the four Grand Slams of the year.
I've got $10 on Federer. As usual.

Yep, I'm watching it when I have free time between football and the Barrett-Jackson auction. Federer is certainly growing on me. If you remember last year I didn't think him worthy to the throne of Connors, Mac, Lendl, Sampras or Aggasi. But Roger has a lot of class, isn't too full of himself and is a very talented player.
I'm ultimately pulling for Roddick this year because I think it's awesome that Connors is his coach. The improvement has been very good so far and if he adopts even 10% of Connors' skill, heart and attitude for the game he'll be a contender everytime.

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

Roddick's in a 5 set dogfight right now, Heiney. Hope you're watching it, it's a hell of a match.
I think the reason Aussie's Open is not considered one of the 4 slams (even though it is) is because like the US Open, it's played on a hardcourt surface. What most don't know is that it's a different kind of hardcourt from our Open. Aussie's surface is between French's clay and US Open's concrete if i'm not mistaken.
Glad to see the US Open refinished their courts in blue. Not only do they look much better than the traditional green (like Aussie's) but it gives both tournaments their own different look, which i'm guessing with the low ratings for Aussie's will benefit it. -

Been flipping back and forth..............Roddick pulled it out!!!! Heading out to hopefully celebrate a Bears victory"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience.
