Morning, fellow Frontierers. Just woke up and held my breath as I checked the scores. No upsets today except Johnson My Johnson winning one for the United States of Obama. The biggest news was Federer's tribute to My Little Pony outfit. Nice to see Wawrinka looking good. Both he and Nishikori already advance further than they did last year. This is going to be such a fun tournament.

McEnroe's an imbecile. I liked him as a player but as a commentator he's beyond bad.

It's too bad that NBC , ESPN and TC hasn't figure out why they have been paying him millions for his tennis commentaries when they have obviously over looked your talents and the without a second thought comments that we have been so blessed by here on this board.

John McEnroe is an appalling commentator. Probably the worst in the business.

The bigest problem of MacEnroe as commentator is he likes to talk too much and most of the times about himself but his brother is not too much better :nono

Did you all see that dude wanting a selfie with Fed?:nono

Ever since Monica's incident these kinds of things freak me out. They should really step up their security in Paris. This is not the first time somebody got on court here.:puzzled

I liked this board better when we didn't have to suffer thru these asinine political views of some of these posters.

Yikes! Just an early morning off-the-cuff joke that was not intended to have such a deep political meaning.

Mac is not a good commentator. Just because someone is getting to do something doesn't mean he's great at it.

Carillo is the worst, Mac problem is he isn't liked as a person. If it was Edberg saying what Mac says no one would say a damn thing. I like Robbie and Jason. They don't compare or say things like "Rafa is has great hands at the net which he does but because he isn't at the net 30,% of the time , Mac gets ridiculed for stating what he sees.

Carol, mostly all the top sports analyst talk too much, John Madden did in American football, Tim McCarver does in baseball, Jeff Van Gundy does in basketball and Johnny Miller and Nick Faldo does in golf. What all these guys have in common is that they are brutally honest. Mac has angered the Fed fans because he says, although Roger has the grand slam titles lead he isn't so sure he is the greatest ever because he has been dominated while he was in his prime by one guy, Rafa. Why isn't Rafa the greatest if he has almost as many grand slams titles .

No. It wasn't. But you're free to get as unruffled all you like.
