I guess I was so excited about the AO finals, I forgot to post here. But what a time-traveling experience! Serena is definitely up there with the greatest athletes of all time, and Roger... what can one say? #18 at age 35? It was a great five-set match and totally made my week. Will be rooting...

Agree with all of the above. Lots of good tennis so far!

Ana Ivanovic has retired. http://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2016/12/ana-ivanovic-retirement-major-announcement-wta-tennis/62973/ In other news, Del Potro and Madison Keys are giving the Australian Open a miss. Sounds like DelPo just wants to pace himself, and Keys had surgery on her off wrist.

Great job, Andy!

Congratulations, Angela Kerber! Nice to see her backing up one Grand Slam win with another, and be No. 1 to boot!

So far, this men's semifinal is one of the weirdest matches ever. Monfils didn't seem to be mentally there for two sets, and then Djokovic went away for a set.

Kai vs. Andy match was pretty good. Go, Kai! I'd predicted Andy in straight sets, thinking that they play similarly but Andy does everything just a little better, but that is certainly not how it turned out. DelPo vs. Stan match was good for about two and a half sets, until Juan just gave out...

Glad he's making the right decision. Must have been painful to miss the Olympics. Hopefully we'll see him for a few years to come.

Congratulations, Vika!

Andy played brilliantly! And his reaction afterward was so raw — made it plain how much this meant to him. Milos acquitted himself well. When your biggest weapons are your serve and your net play and you're up against someone who can return nearly anything and pass you almost at will, your best...

Quality women's final! Both women acquitted themselves very well, and the better woman won. Hope to see Kerber win many more titles.

What an incredible day of tennis! Roger, OMG, I can't believe he pulled that out.

Just caught the last few games of Tsonga vs. Isner. Some great points! Wonder when Tsonga will have to play again next.

Yes, I see that now! Yay for rain! (OK, I know it's a pain for the players, but yay for me!)

What an incredible moment for Sam Querrey. He did a great job of holding it together and taking advantage of the opportunities he got. Now I have to go into my annual Wimbledon withdrawal because of "middle Sunday." But I guess it makes Monday that much sweeter!
