Ricky, er…Serena…

Justine Henin over Serena Williams (aka Ricky)…7-6, 6-1

Ahhhh….such a good night of television.

That’s all.

We can let Alan share that...or if you'd like to share it Bill and attach YOUR name to it, that'd be okay...

soooo...what tennis player do you actually root for? you've mentioned your disdain for serena a few times already. what female player (if any) can you cheer on? just curious.

Let's see...of today's players I probably enjoy Sharapova's style the most. Not many of the others...

On the men's side...Roddick, Federer, Blake, Nadal are all fun to watch...

From my past...Agassi, Connors, Borg, and of course, everyone my age had a crush on Chrissie Evert

everyone my age had a crush on Monica Seles. She was great back in the day.

Especially Justin...he had a Seles obsession...which I don't think had anything to do with the attack on her, (as far as we know)

I did not have a Seles obsession. That grunting thing bothered me. I was more into Capriati...pre-drug days. You have no room to talk, Mark...you named your dog Sabatini!

I can back Justin up on that... he was big time into Capriati.

I heard Sabatini had to retire because everytime she hit her forehand, she peed a little.

My bad Justin...I was sure it was Seles for you...maybe it was just those -female-like shrieks' you made when you hit your two-handed backhand...


Hey, lay off the dog...she had a disease, she couldn't hold her pee...actually died from it...I know, I know, no one is sad about that...

I think Eric had the Seles obsession.
Hey, you better not trash talk me about tennis, Nelson. I did take a set from you once. I don't even hit a two-handed backhand any more...I'm so lazy all I do is a slice backhand. Of course I've played once in the last three years.

I didn't know Eric even played tennis...
