How about Jelena Dokic? Her match to get into the quarters was one of the gutsiest things I’ve seen on the women’s side in years. All of my memories of Dokic were of her as a hot-shot teen, storming Wimbledon–to see her making this run as a 25-year-old, in her adopted homeland, with all the things she’s seen in recent years, is pretty wonderful.
Looking at her now I’m struck by how old her eyes look. It’s rare to see someone finding redemption like this on a tennis court. Good for her.
In other notes, have you seen ESPN’s addition to the telecast: the blonde, super-thin trainer/TV personality Tiffany Cherry? That’s the most ready-made porn name I’ve ever heard.
