At last, I am back (keyboard fixed, oh, what a relief it is!) and so let’s get to it..Roger Federer wins Western and Southern Open title yesterday in Cincy for the 6th time! Three set win over the always fighting David Ferrer, 6-3, 1-6 (?), 6-2. That second set was a puzzler for sure, but Fed got it done and won his third title of the year as we head into the US Open next week. Looking really good, Mr. Federer! He is having such a great year this year, if only that Wimbledon final had gone his way…but with Djokovic appearing to struggle a bit this hard court season…who is now the favorite in New York? Likely the pundits will say Djokovic, with Federer right there with him. Rafael Nadal has pulled out of the US Open due to the lingering right wrist injury. So…who ya got at Flushing Meadow? I think the elusive #18 for Mr. Federer is looming on the horizon!!
Serena Williams took out Ana Ivanovic in two sets, 6-4, 6-1. Serena looks ready for the US Open for sure. She has yet to win a Major this year so you know she is gunning for this one. Great tournament for Ana, she took out Sharapova in a tough three set match in the semifinals (yes, always happy to see Maria lose, her actions when Ana called for the trainer were indicative of who she really is as a person and a player) so Ivanovic is definitely in the mix heading into the action from Flushing Meadow!
Now, for our entertainment, the latest CFB AP Preseason Rankings are updated and out! I always love these preseason rankings! 1. FSU 2. Alabama 3. Oregon (go Ducks!) 4. Oklahoma 5. Ohio State 6. Auburn 7. UCLA 8. Michigan State 9. South Carolina 10. Baylor 11. Stanford 12. Georgia (I am a GT fan!) 13. LSU 14. Wisconsin 15. USC 16. Clemson 17. Notre Dame 18. Ole Miss 19. Arizona State 20. Kansas State 21. Texas A&M 22. Nebraska 23. North Carolina 24. Missouri and 25. Washington.
So, eight SEC teams (no surprise there) three ACC teams (although I really think of FSU as more of an “SEC type team”) and thank you, five Pac-12 teams. Really nice to see some love for west coast college football!
Glad to be back and blogging, computer issues are always such a hassle. Plus, that other little part-time job has been an adventure…hey, if you want some free clothes, just check my schedule as apparently I was not exactly cut out for “retail” and I tend to have sales that do not go through properly. What can you say, we all have our talents and our weaknesses(?)!
Anyhow, enjoy your Monday!
