And it wasn’t even a contest this year. The Mighty Roger Federer looked bad. His very strong backhand looked useless. Though credit to Nadal, he was playing flawless and it didn’t look like he was going to be beat, even if Roger was on top of his game. So it was quick work with a 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 match. I didn’t get to see the whole match due to chasing Nigel around. But you didn’t need to watch much to know which was it was going.
Hopefully if the two meet again in the Wimbledon final like last year, it will be more competitive.

First he contributed nothing to wining the cup, now he gets a dent in it…. Nice.
Can’t take you anywhere: Stanley Cup already has a dent

DETROIT — The Stanley Cup is OK after taking a tumble during the Red Wings’ celebrations in Detroit.
NHL spokeswoman Bernadette Mansur said on Saturday that the Cup got a slight dent Friday after some players took the trophy to Cheli’s Chili Bar, a downtown restaurant owned by Red Wings defenseman Chris Chelios.
Mansur says a keeper of the Cup traveling with the trophy was able to smooth out the dent. She added that the trophy was expected to continue making the rounds, and that “the Cup has seen worse.”
Thousands of Red Wings fans cheered Friday during a parade and rally in downtown Detroit where the Cup was shown off.
The Red Wings clinched the Cup on Wednesday night in Pittsburgh against the Penguins.

Not the first time the Wings “damaged” the Cup. Back in 97 at the victory parade you could clearly see that the black bottom rim was bent out of shape.
I know John that deep down you are just jealous. I am sure you would have loved to see either the Hawks or Pens dent the Cup this summer.
