Federer Shows Some Intestinal Fortitude

Since watching the tennis in Queens a week ago today, I have seen precious little of the action at this year's U.S. Open, since the opening of school has filled up most of my free time. I did get to see the fifth set of Roger Federer's fourth-round match today against Igor Andreev, in which the #2-ranked Swiss player held tough under pressure. On the one hand, it's troubling that Federer is being taken to five sets by a player he owned in the past. But with an upset on the horizon, he showed he was able to steel himself to advance to the quarterfinals. I think Roger has a decent shot at fifth straight title in Flushing Meadow, even with Djokovic as a potential semifinal opponent and the prospect of nemesis Nadal as a likely opponent in the final.
