Sorry Scunner, but I do, only too well,
and watching game after game just waiting for someone to make a mistake
is about as tedious as it gets.

Have to disagree with you Mike. I thought it was a great display of two very talented men showing tremendous skill over a sustained period, each not willing to give the other an inch in striving to achieve their goal.

The most impressive thing for me, other than Federer's wonderful achievement of course, was the way Roddick treated one of those two imposters. Splendid.

Its funny H, but I saw two very talented men showing tremendous skill over a sustained period, each not willing  to go out on a limb, take a chance or try anything different.
boring as sin.

Oh I see, cheers. I thought I may have missed a couple of streakers when we went out :D

I thought it was a superb moment when Sampras arrived and received such a warm greeting from the fans.
