Congrats Federer!
Once my afternoon appointments were over in downtown I quickly drove home for a very important meeting … with my television 
I had the evening schedule blocked out so that I could watch the U.S. Open finals featuring Roger Federer and Andy Murray. I got home at 5PM just in time for the start. Turned on CBS and it’s the news. Waited a little while and later checked TV guide. Argh - they aren’t showing it!

First off, I would like to boo the people in charge of not broadcasting The U.S. Open finals on CBS in Toronto. How could you do this? tsk tsk 
Thankfully, I was able to find an live online stream. It wasn’t the greatest quality (my nose was glued to the screen trying to follow the pixelated ball during rallies) but was good enough.
Hats off to Andy Murray for being a class act showing tremendous respect and also being a fierce competitor … well moments of fierceness. I just hope he keeps on progressing as he had during this year and we’ll see many great battles from the top 4 in 2009. One other thing I do hope is that he doesn’t pull a “Tsonga”. Where has that guy disappeared to after smoking Nadal off the Australian Open courts???
And Congrats Mr. Federer! It’s so wondeful to see you win this and showing the skeptics that you certainly do have a lot remaining in the tank. I’m looking forward to 2009 and please … do work on that “winning roll” though :D Perhaps do something like a cartwheel or roar while snapping your racquet in half!
