News and notes from the U.S. Open

A Mountain Dew night

August
30

I’m sitting here just inches from an open can of Mountain Dew. It is the devil. So powerful that it wakes me up in a few sips, but also so powerful that it keeps me up forever.

Unfortunately for James Blake, I may need the boost tonight, because we both may be here for a long time. Blake’s currently in a battle with Fabrice Santoro, the little, old Frenchman, who will be hell in a fifth set if he takes Blake that far. Right now they are even in the fourth.

Perhaps I’ll post my thoughts for the match at 4 a.m. when I’m fighting off the caffeine high. I’m really enjoying this right now, even if it’s not a great sign to see Blake in such a battle this early in the draw.
