Right now we've got another lesser watched sport going on--tennis. And even though the French Open is my least favorite of the tennis majors, it is still a really entertaining sport to get into. I think you should check it out this year if you never have before, especially now because this year it is living up to its name of being an open. Now that Rafael Nadal has been knocked in an enormous upset (think like the Pistons had beaten the Cavs in the first round of the playoffs), the trophy actually is open to anyone. Now that Nadal, 4 seed Novak Djokovic and 6 seed Andy Roddick are out of the tournament, it really could be just about any of the remaining seeds. Roger Federer figures to be the favorite now with Nadal out of the way, but he had to come back out of a 2 sets to love deficit to beat Tommie Haas. Third-seeded Andy Murray is still alive, which could produce a pretty great final if he and Federer were to meet.
On the women's side, there is still a lot to root for if you are an American. Serena Williams is still alive and playing well. She will be one of the major players as we move toward the finals in the women's bracket.
What I'm suggesting is that you try out a new sport. You can watch it on ESPN360.com, or on ESPN2. There will be a game going on while you are doing your morning routine before work. Check it out. Learn about a new sport. Every time I have taken the time to sit down and learn a sport, it becomes much more entertaining to me. Nowadays, I'm a big fan of tennis. Join in the fun.
