I am miserable! The Sony Ericsson Open was playing in our sports department so I walked over to check the score in the Roger Federer-Guillermo Canas match. They were in a third-set tie-breaker with Federer up 4-3. Then, before I even get a chance to settle in, Canas has won the damned match 7-6, 2-6, 7-6, takling the tie-breaker 7-5.
What is going on here? It seems that Canas is a little bit in Federer's head now after beating him a few weeks ago at the Pacfic Life Open, snapping Fed's 41-match winning streak. And next week, the tennis tour enters the claycourt season which has been Federer's weakest surface (if you could call it that since he did reach the French Open final last year). I'm hoping these losses motivate him to finally win in Paris.

On Monday, he took home a record four year-end awards from the Association of Tennis Professionals. Federer received the Player of the Year award, the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship award, the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian award and the ATPTENNIS.COM Fan Favorite Singles Player of the Year award, closing the book on Federer’s remarkable run in 2006.
But all of that is little solace to a great champion like Federer. I'm now looking for Andy Roddick (nice hairdo!) and Rafael Nadal (love the new outfit!) to carry on. On the women's side, Serena Williams showed she is back on top by rolling by top-seeded Maria Sharapova 6-1, 6-1! Wow.
