TENNIS ANYONE

The French Open begins play in a few weeks(5/20/08). The French is play on clay which is considered a slow surface. This gives players with stamina and shot making ability a chance verses the wham, bam thank you ma’me of Wimbledon or the US OPEN. Personally, it is my favorite major.

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are the obvious favorites on the men’s side. If Federer can take the championship, he will earn the career Grand Slam(winning all majors). This achievement has eluded such tennis greats as Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe and Ivan Lendel.

On the ladies side, look for the Williams Sisters to be challenged by Justin Henin (ranked #1).
The sisters cannot just show up and think they can win. Those days are over. Look for Serena (ranked#6) to make some noise. She won last week and is on the top of her game.

No disrespect to the female athlete, but DAMM I love seeing her in tennis outfits with the COO-LO hanging out. TEll me she is not pregnant right now if that was yours!!!

ALL-NBA this year was a no brainer.This should be the team for the next 4-5 years. I can see YAO putting up big numbers next season to make things interesting, but there is no one else.

Stoudemire (Black Jesus)? Deron William

It’s a quantum leap from All-Star to All- NBA.
