US Open 2010
Watching the US Open and all of the coverage this year has simply confirmed what we already knew: the media (particularly) the sports media is awful. First, all we hear about is that Nadal and Federer were on a collision course for history... ignoring every other competitor in the field. This of course, was in spite of the fact that, Nadal had never made the finals here. Fed is an entirely other story. For four years, I've been hearing that his reign is over. That, because he isn't winning EVERYTHING, he's washed up. Forget about his amazing run of Semi-Finals and Finals appearances. Forget that he's in incredible shape at 29. Forget he's arguably (already) the greatest tennis player ever. Oddly (it's odd because everyone says Fed is washed up) they pushed and pushed for a Fed v. Nadal final. Let me tell you, it would have been glorious. The greatest tennis player of all time against the guy who is (literally) nipping at his and the heels of greatness....
