I’m looking forward to “Super Saturday” at the U.S. Open. It’s mildly surprising that the two Russians, Nikolay Davydenko amd Mikhail Youzhny are in the semifinals. I say that because Youzhny beat Raphael Nadal, who most expected to be playing Roddick for a shot at Federer in the final. Then Davydenko was down 2 sets to Tommy Haas and battled back to win in 5 in a pretty good match (at least what I saw of it.) I still think Federer and Roddick will win and play tomorrow, but who knows. I just hope for 2 good matches.

In the women’s final tonight it’s not too surprising that Maria Sharapova and Justine Henin-Hardenne are there, although Amelie Mauresmo has played very well this year and I was a little surprised she lost to Sharapova, who has seemed to lose in a lot of semis since her Wimbledon win a couple of years ago. I think the women’s final may be the best match of the day.

Also looking forward to at least one college football game today - the 1 vs 2 Texas-Ohio State game. I think Texas will do it again as they did at OSU last year. It’s about the only real interesting game on today, as many teams are playing high school teams this week before most start conference play next week. I’ll have to keep an eye on both this and the women’s final for a while, but should see most of this game after tennis is done.

Iron Maiden alert - CBS was playing “Where Eagles Dare” during it’s pre-match coverage just a few minutes ago. Cool.

Okay, off to clean house and watch tennis…
