That's interesting.

And then there was one...

I suspect Federer will probably take the rest of the year off as well now. The seedings for the Aussie Open could be all over the place.

So 4 US women in the semis. Only Nadal left in the men's. Is tennis finished?

Beyond Federer I find tennis pretty much unwatchable nowadays. I have no care factor.

For a long time, I used to stay up most nights to watch the majors, though I always found the French Open a bit tedious - maybe it was the red clay. I also watched and followed the Oz Open closely. Not now.

I wonder how many others feel the same.

Like playing it. Apart from Davis Cup, which I've seen live a few times I don't much bother with it.

Agree, tennis has lost its charm. It just appears to be a one-dimensional game played by anonymous robots in the main.

Nadal to play Anderson in the men's final.

Load up.

Don't say you weren't advised...

It lost its charm when the chicks dropped the frilly knickers.
