The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

As I write these two are playing their 95th game of the fifth set. Incredible stuff; anyone else watching them?
EDIT: 100th...
EDIT2: 59 - 59 games in the final set, and the match has just been suspended due to bad light. Going into a third day tomorrow.

It was amazing that sheer endurance and determination was what kept them going and I think, the right person (Isner) won.  

I didn't watch the tennis yesterday as I was on a aeroplane..but I am sad to see that Jankovic...and Henin are out...and Roddick....

-Federer...of course...is through...
-I thought Hewit played well, especially in regards to his previous injuries and recovering from two hip operations.  He did well to go against the serbian player, who's name I can't recall at the moment....
-The match between Roddick and Lu..was impressive.  The tie breaker...not as nail biting as the match between Isner and Mahut, was still interesting to watch.  Lu was a powerful player.  
-And Nadal...is through.  
-As for Murray.....

I don't really watch much of the women's tennis but Serena Williams and Vera Zvonareva are to meet in the final.

As for the men's singles...wow..the Quaterfinals yesterday...I am in shock...Federer..I thought he would go through but he's out.  

The semis will be interesting...Murray Vs Nadal and Djokovic Vs Berdych (the Czech player who knocked out Federer)....so that would be pretty interesting to watch....

Hmm...seem to be posting to myself here.:p

Well, seems as though Nadal has won again.
Serena won the women's singles.

I was shocked with Federer going out at the quaters...

Nadal has now won 8 majors before 25. only federer, Sampras and Bjorg have done that previously, Nadal is now the 4th to do so.
