Wow I have successfully inverted my sleep cycle in 3 days. Slept at 5 am on Saturday morning, Slept 3 hours on Saturday afternoon, Slept at 4 am this morning watching the US open and slept 5 hours this afternoon. It's really quite absurd but in my defence the afternoon weather has been terrible this weekend. Oh yeah I also met up with the geog boys on Saturday night for dinner. It was nice to catch up with noobs like AL and just talk random things. 

Anyway I'm quite sad I will be missing the US open final. The semis between federer and djokovic was quite spectacular. In the final 1 1/2 sets, federer actually hit the kind of gear that everyone expected of him but was never quite delivered this year. He hit an unbelievable slice lob which blew my brains out and he actually matched djokovic for pace. But if I was impressed with federer, I was even more blown away by Andy Murray. His gameplan against Nadal was freaking wicked. It's not something federer can pull off (because of his aggressive style and slower movement) but Murray's positioning, speed and ability to keep the unforced errors low really blunted the nadal topspin. Hope he closes out that match.
