Two degrees of separation (sort of) from Federer

[ziasudra]

My boss at my Internet job got tickets to the U.S. Open yesterday, and his seat was so good, HE GOT ON TV! One of his friends Tevo'd him. He was literally sitting in the first row at Federer's end of the court, just slightly diagonally above the speed sign that displayed how fast each serve was.

He said Federer played spectacularly, and I believe him. Blake supposedly played really well too, but Federer was being the superhuman that he was and kept hitting back all the impossible shots.

Being the lowly peon that I am, I only got to play around with things like the Torque Driver and the Mega Blaster. Images only, of course.

At least I got to meet Serena Williams when she visited the store.

Oh man I GOTTA catch tomorrow's final game, Federer v. Roddick. I just watched Roddick win over some Russian guy--first time I ever saw Roddick play but dang was he insane. I'm just getting into this whole tennis thing, but dang if it isn't addictive!! :) Hmmmm who to vote for?? I did see Federer play some British guy, and he wasn't as crazy as Roddick, but apparently Federer beats Roddick 10 out of 11 times. Um, go Roddick?

Roddick hasn't been having the best of seasons recently, although things started looking up for him when he won the Cincinnati Masters. Federer is just such a good player. Andy will need to have an exceptionally good day to beat him.
