    Health Care

    Insurance companies are not to really to blame for rising health care costs. America is at the top when it comes to medical technology and treatments and when people keep demanding to get the best most expensive tests and treatments it is going to raise costs. Most diagnoses can be made based on...

    End of Federer's Career

    I expect him to play for a long time. This is a guy who has not had any major injuries other than his mono and back problems. His body will probably last a long time. As for motivation, I think if he wins a calendar slam and a singles gold medal he will have nothing else to go for.

    There is a God.

    WOMEN'S - 2010 Australian Open

    They should change the rules now and allow a tiebreaker in the third set.

    WOMEN'S - 2010 Australian Open

    Perhaps she should try going for an ace?

    WOMEN'S - 2010 Australian Open

    Have we really reached matchpoint?

    WOMEN'S - 2010 Australian Open

    I can understand Li getting broken with her serve, but how can Venus be this bad?

    WOMEN'S - 2010 Australian Open

    I think they should both retire. Go out with some dignity.

    All top 5 players have GRAND SLAMS

    I would still put Murray ahead of Roddick right now. Murray has won 5 tournaments this year beating guys like Nadal, Del Potro, and Roddick. He has the skill, he just seems to struggle during Grand Slams. I think last year Murray didn't really put much of a fight against Federer in the US open...

    the chair umpire role in serena's match

    The chair is supposed to control the players, but the players aren't expected to control themselves?

    How many total slams will Clijsters have by the end of her career?

    I don't know if she will win many more. In her best years she won only 1 GS. It would be very interesting if Henin came back.

    L.A Times: Serena Should Be Punished

    She definitely needs to be disciplined. Linespeople need to know they can make calls without being verbally abused/intimidated by star players who demand special treatment. If linespeople don't have that security, the integrity of the game will be questioned.

    Nadal more gracious in loss than Serena

    No need to state the obvious.

    U.S Open mens semis- Del Potro vs Nadal

    Can't they wait for the post match interview. Why do they have to interview the loser on the court?

    U.S Open mens semis- Del Potro vs Nadal

    Wow, Del Potro never had to serve for a set. He always broke to win the set.

    U.S Open mens semis- Del Potro vs Nadal

    I don't think they are bigger or better. DP has very consistent shots, but he also plays very safely with a large margin of safety (I've rarely seen him paint the lines today). This isn't really a bad thing or a knock against Del Potro.

    Uh, oh....

    It may be unfair to Venus, but Serena still needs to act responisble. If Serena tested positive for a banned substance, it would still be unfair to Venus, but you would still have to suspend Serena. The rules have to apply to everyone.

    Williams' family....sigh #10,000

    There was a reason behind their booing. It was the Williams family who made it about race.

    Does anyone think Fed might retire if he wins US open?

    He will not retire. Rafa's major obstacles to being a GOAT candidate are his knees and Federer. Every year Federer plays makes it less and less likely that Nadal will reach 16 GS.

    Nadal's fitness... best on tour?

    I think Federer is slightly ahead. He has never had a major injury. Even when he had his back problems, he could play at a high level. You can't do that without great fitness and training. But Nadal is definitely faster. Federer's great footwork and precise shotmaking allows him to keep up with...

    if nadal and federer get into final how will they wi?

    It will be a 5 set epic with things coming full circle. A reversal of the HC result in Australia with Nadal breaking down and Federer coming out a winner. What appeared to be the start of a bad year for Federer in January ends up one of his greatest years on tour.

    Federer's chances have actually decreased yesterday

    I think Federer would rather play Murray, Tsonga, and Del Potro at the same time than play Nadal.

    USO R16: Monfils (13) vs. Nadal (3)

    With Monfil's foot speed and penetrating forehand, I'm surprised he doesn't go to the net.

    USO R16: Monfils (13) vs. Nadal (3)

    Down the line was wide open? I guess this commentator thinks it's easy to return a smash.

    USO R16: Monfils (13) vs. Nadal (3)

    Monfils needs to hit a little flatter on his backhand.

    USO R16: Monfils (13) vs. Nadal (3)

    I didn't realize you get a first serve if you win a challenge on a second serve.

    Tsonga [7] vs Gonzalez [11] (USO 4th round Heavyweight clash)

    Wow, Nadal's chances of getting to the final have increased significantly after today. Tsonga and Murray can both beat him and are now out. If Cilic knocks out Del Potro, it looks like we will have the first US Open Federer vs Nadal final.

    Wozniaki vs. Oudin, the only womens match i've ever been kind of excited to watch

    Interesting? I don't know about that. I think Wozniacki had only 16 winners and 1 ace in 3 sets and Oudin had 19 winners and 0 aces also in 3 sets. They both won due to the errors of their opponents. Sounds like it will be about game of unforced errors.

    C Wozniacki (DEN) vs. S Kuznetsova (RUS) - 4th Rnd USOpen

    Oudin vs Wozniacki, a match of terrible serving and forehands.
