I love self-deprecating stuff. Believe you me, I've had my share of doozies this year. Isn't that all part of the fun? Me thinks so.<BR/><BR/>PS - I wanted to ask you a question but couldn't find a way to contact you besides this one. Anyhoo, can you drop me a line at tips@downthelinetennis.com?

Thank both of you for the props on my calls. They're hard to make but fun to do (if you're a tennis geek like me!)vanhttp://tennistalkanyone.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876875805244297602.post-74227900339050932672008-12-04T16:07:00.000-05:002008-12-04T16:07:00.000-05:00Hey, Van!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the props! You were charitable to call me "concise"!<BR/><BR/>I LOVE this post - what a great idea. So impressed by the Murray/Tsonga/Anderson predictions. It's fun when you see all the hours of tennis watching paying off - you're definitely an expert.<BR/><BR/>But still, sometimes tennis really does feel like betting on horseracing. No matter how much you know about the players history, opposing styles, physical condition, you just never know what will happen on any given day. These players are dang unpredictable (except for Nadal and until recently, Federer!)freakyfriteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849509797502704715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876875805244297602.post-88215530211157986072008-12-03T16:41:00.000-05:002008-12-03T16:41:00.000-05:00Can't win'em all as the saying goes...<BR/><BR/>That said there were some great calls there - I would have never picked Anderson over Djokovic with the form the Serb was in. And as for A-Rod, well you've probably read my views on that win and coming right after beating up on almost everyone else in Dubai, I really thought he'd have a great Wimbledon - oh well.<BR/><BR/>I too think that Blake should have the upper hand against Nadal on a hard/indoor court - in fact up until recently, he did.<BR/><BR/>Oh and thanks for the shout!TopSpinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11909444215193865334noreply@blogger.com
