That second set tiebreak was incredible, and all told, we were treated to nearly three hours of really high-quality tennis. But with that being said, as much as I appreciate the greatness of Roger, Rafa, and Djokovic, I'm really dying for some new blood at the top of the men's game. Wawrinka's successes over the last couple of years hinted that maybe the tide was turning, but with how dominant Djokovic and Fed looked over the last two weeks (save for Djokovic's scare against Kevin Anderson), it seems like we're just in for more of the same for the foreseeable future.
Novak is my favorite top tier tennis player. He's a great sport, he's hilarious, and has a monster work ethic. Also he shut up Andy Roddick back in the day when Roddick was running his mouth, so he'll always have bonus points in my book. Of course Marcos Baghdatis is my favorite of all tennis players. He has a great attitude, and always seems to be having a blast playing the game. Sadly he lost in the finals to Isner in Atlanta today.
Rematch for the US Open title. I'm rooting for Novak to win, but Federer is in much better form. It's probably better for the sport if Roger wins...better story.
I'm rooting for Novak, but I won't be upset if Roger wins. I'd just like Novak to eventually catch Roger in titles, so a win for him would help that.

Both players have been as good as ever this tournament. This could be a great match. I love all the variety Fed has been playing with this year. I would love to see him win #18 at age 34 today.
I am going for Fed all the way as always. It will be a showdown! BTW there seems to be many tennis fans here we should make a general tennis thread.
