Here we have the 2 players into the finals of the "blue clay" Masters tournament. This blue clay is certainly a new surface totally different from all the other surfaces. This has produced great tennis, and as I said seeing it on day 1, it rewards the shotmakers for their play and this is how its flaring. I always liked it when there are differences in surfaces and players have to adapt .
Lets hope for some great tennis in the finals as well.
[3] Roger Federer (SUI)
v
[6] Tomas Berdych (CZE)
Federer was dominant yesterday, completely dominant. As I said earlier, how far better his shotmakings are compared to some other guys, its was very evident against Tipsy who himself is a very good shotmaker. Tipsy was hurried on alomst everytime Fed hit the ball. His serve is looking superb. He returned good yesterday, but he would need to do even better because Berdy's serve is one of the most powerful and angled in the circuit. Berdy has beaten Fed in the past and posses some very dangerous weapons, especially the forehand.
But Fed will be aware of that. Fed has a lot of variety in his game and should see Berdy off in 2 sets.

Actually it 's the Tree of Life (also American) that won Palme d'Or for the best film, The Drive won it for the best Director category.

Ah......I am not lying when I say the last time I sat to watch a movie was 2 years ago...and probably as much time went on before that one.
I am more interested in politics and economy and tennis is the pressure valave release.

Any Coen brothers fans here? I am! I have everything they ever made on DVD, and i'm usually not interested in full collections
Scorsese and Tarantino are great. David Fincher is also an excellent filmmaker

Hitchcok anyone?
BTW, love the good old spy story , too, Tinkler Tailor Solder Spy was good esp the old version; the film wasn't bad, but nowhere near as the old production.
Should be right up your avenue Tenez if you are into politics and economics.

Hitchcok...I loved them back then. I just would not fancy spending 2h watching them again.
As said nothing beats the Italian movies of the 70s/80s for me. With Manfredi, Gassman, Togniazzi, Mastroianni, Ferreol, Loren, They were fun, good looking, amazingly funny.
Some French movies too. Has anyone watched "Uranus"? Genius!!!
