Lawn tennis just tennis, for short. The US Open is still on - semi-final stages now. There have been some big upsets, while some people have equally been really upset, again.

Venus William versus Ivanovic was really a no contest - even though the latter had been ranked higher by seeding.

Unfortunately, Serena was bundled out - again by Henin-Hardene.

Then, Ferrer halted Nadal's attempt to cross paths again with Roger Federer in NYC - 'Ferrer did Federer a favor' sounds like a good rhyme, wouldn't you agree?

Finally, Federer overcame Andy Roddick on home turf, also again - how frustrating getting beaten, even with the help of tenacious tennis great, Jimmy Connors as his coach, among others.

However, I must ask: should Andy Roddick have been so ticked off and aggressive? See this excerpt of his after-match speech:

[..."I'm not walking with my head down. I played my ass off out there. I played the right way. It helps, but that doesn't mean I can't be p****d off."]

Hmmmm,,,looks like he still has a score to settle sometime, doesn't it? Sports rivalry like this one, hopefully, should not degenerate to violence or personal attacks.

After all, Roger is the best - to be beaten by the Numero Uno should not be a shameful thing!
