THE NEXT THING TO WATCH FOR is how Roger Federer will manage to squander his immense talent. Oh, he will. Players that talented always do.
Speaking of the Tennis Masters Cup, I hereby name the Nalbandian-Coria-Schuettler impossibly hard-hit backhand down the line the Shot of the Year.
In other news, R.I.P, Nailbags.

AGASSI, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. Amazing. Ferrero was beating Agassi at his own game, painfully so. At one point the commentators and I were angry at Ferrero for rubbing things in too much, when he won a point with dismissive ease on a drop-shot-and-lob combo. To me it felt as though Ferrero was continuing to get the better of the rallies even as the score turned around, but somehow Agassi came out on top. I doubt Agassi will win too many more of their meetings, but this one was sweet. Ferrero may be the best player to ever lose his first two matches at a Masters.
