Anyone else watching the worlds #1 player get rolled over by an unknown? Im not much a mens tennis watcher but anytime theres a major sports title being decided at 4am I am so there.

Just for the record, he's not Greek, but from Cyprus...

Was this title perverse by nature, or by accident.

As I'm seeing it, the score is 7-5 2-3-Bagdatis or whatever his name is. I would put money down that Federer will win this match.

Yeah, I was just hoping against hope I suppose. It's the kind of thing thats supposed to happen at 4am.

Hey, it's being played at a normal time for me!

I didn't watch this game but I did see a few tennis matches last week while I was on holidays - there wasn't much else on TV at night. Baghdatis had a great run in the tournament and became a human interest story since Melbourne has a big Greek community which spilled over into Cypriot support - that and the fact that most Aussies were knocked out in the first week.

BTW which network was showing the game in the US?

I remember when I was little and getting up at ungodly hours on a Sunday morning to watch the Wimbledon finals, mainly because of my crush on Chris Everet. Theres just something cool about watching something major at such an unusual hour.

Poor guy today was really playing well in the first 2 sets but Federer just went into overdrive. Still fun to watch.
