Both Andy Roddick and Radek Stepanek retired in their respective matches without winning a single game. Thought bubble above Rafa says "Welcome to the club!". An AP report about the historical "retirement party" (a first in the history of the Masters Series) concluded with this iffy forecast: <i>In the meantime, there is still the men’s final Sunday. Djokovic holds a 3-2 career edge over Wawrinka, who won their only previous matchup on clay two years ago—when Djokovic withdrew with breathing problems.</i> Pity the fans who watched the semifinal matches at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia tournament (aka Rome Masters).

Apparently, he dumped her. He's now with Nicole Vaidisova (unless someone else took him away again already) Radek Stepanek was engaged to Martina Hingis. Apparently, he dumped her.

Both players were cramping and suffered from blisters. Sampras wept during the fifth set after a fan shouted for him to win the match for his coach, Tim Gullikson, who left Australia the day before the match after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. As for the Djoker's parents, mum Dijana reportedly uttered these infamous words after Djokovic won against Federer at the Aussie Open: <i>The king is dead</i>. Now, I could be wrong, but I think the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

By the way, tennis has seen some monster parents, and this could still be a case of someone needing emancipation. What about the one where Sampras wept through the last set vs. Courier?
