U.S. Open - Tennis

theat was The most anticlimactic US open probably ever. Federer won and no one even cares. Sure, he's great, but grow a personality. Be belligerent like Macenroe, or stylishly weird like Agassi, or something. He's just an athlete, and I like to watch performers, damnit!

Since news emerged from Los Angeles on the weekend of hotel heiress Paris Hilton telling two Australians she was "head over heels in love" with Philippoussis, speculation over the Aussie tennis star and Goodrem's 10-month romance has been in the headlines Down Under.

It has overshadowed the split of former tennis No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt and his Belgian fiancee Kim Clijsters, the former women's No. 1, four months before their planned wedding.

Man oh Man, Paris Hilton has to stay away from tennis. And no wonder Mighty Lleyton fell.
