US Open
For many of you, tennis is not something to get especially jazzed about. That is why What the Thunder Said is doing you a huge favor by helping you to know who to root for and get excited about at this year's Grand Slam event. So, you should cheer for American Andre Agassi and Swiss Roger Federer.
Agassi is the quintessential American - loud, brash, cocky, extremely talented and relying on reserves of talent to skip practice and party instead. Ok, that was perhaps the early Agassi. In his later years, he has also reflected a maturity and hard work coupled with heart and love for the sport that is unparalleled. Federer exhibits the yang to Agassi's yin. He is cool, collected, young, and on fire.
Keep your eye on these two. Though Agassi has a soft spot in my heart, I look to see Federer kissing the cup.
