With all of the depressing/bad news concerning New Orleans, and Rehinquist, I thought we could all use some good news. For those of you who know Andy Roddick was upset in the opening round of the US Open this week, you can be glad that three American men have made it to the round of 16. James Blake is one of them. He attended Harvard for two years (unlike the average tennis player), as a business major, and has said he would like to return when his career is finished.

He is an all around great guy, and really gives you something to root for these days. No offence to the rest of the American tennis players intended.

Great match that was.

Blake is a wonderful player. A nice guy too. NY is treating him well :)

He plays Andre next, if I'm not mistaken.

Now that's a tennis match not to be missed.
