Mardy Fish stuns Roger, the world

I forgot to report that Roger beat Hass. Oops. But more importantly today Mardy Fish defeated Roger 6-3, 6-2 in the Pacific Life Open Semi-Final. Looking like a lumberjack, Fish played perfect tennis to take down Roger. Even Mardy's girlfriend looked on completely perplexed. Fish is the lowest seeded player to defeat Roger since Roger has reigned #1. He'll face Djokovic in the Final tomorrow.

Roger beats opponent whose name Americans furrow their brows over

Ljubicic. I can pronounce it because I've heard it but could you pronounce it when you saw it for the first time? I'm not so sure.

Roger beat him 6-3, 6-4. Next up: Tommy Hass.

Roger beats a Frenchie

Roger made another Frenchman wave the white flag, taking down Nicolas Mahut 6-1, 6-1. 9 aces and won 96% of his first serves. No more mono!

Next up: Ljubicic.

Second Round at Pac Life Open not a problem!

Roger beat Spain's Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 6-3, 6-2 in a 68 minute match. However, the conditions were crap. It was WAY too windy. This is Palm Springs! What the heck is going on? (I went to the tourney so I'm a little perturbed.)

Draw for the Pacific Life Open is announced

I guess we're supposed to be shaking in our bootstraps because it appears that Roger may have a tough draw. Yeah right. The guy had mono and had just gotten over some serious stomach ailment and still went to the Semis at the Australian Open. Can you imagine how scary he's going to be now that he's over that stuff? Yeesh. I fear that Andy Roddick may see yet another demoralization. Here's to a fun press conference afterwards!
