Blake gets that 5-set win

Every once in a while, James Blake says something so smart and funny it reminds you he’s the only player on the ATP Tour who has spent two years at Harvard. Last night after winning the first five-setter of his career, Blake was asked how it felt to “get the monkey off your back.”
“I’d find another cliche that fits better,” said the Yonkers native.
Good win for Blake, great match for the crowd. He said that he wasn’t bothered at the end by Fabrice Santoro’s tendency to milk the 25-second limit between points. And he said he hoped his career could extend as long—which is the ripe old age of 34. The life span of a tennis player is not long and, at 27, Blake is about right for a midlife crisis.
