JCF's dream run ended. Three finals in three weeks proved his burning desire and spectacular athleticism and conditioning at the age of 30. Three TITLES in threee weeks could mean much more. Many are amazed and begin to wonder: Can he make some noise in Roland Garros? We still have to look at see, to see his performance on the bigger stage like Monte Carlo and Rome? I still have the feeling that his "nature" makes him need more win to consolidate and believe. Of course, I am happy to see him back and see endurance and tenacity pay off. But on the other hand, he has nothing special, technically.
Gulbis won in Delray Beach for his maiden ATP title. It starts there. I really really hope he can rise. He ought to be a Masters level and Top 10 player at least.
2010 Winter Olympics is definitely the Winter Games I am most exposed to so far. It started with the undescribable tragedy of Nodar Kumaritashvili, reached its emotional peak (for myself) in the pair figure skating, mixed with the un-understandable defeat of a genius to an artistic hard-worker, pumped up with the sweeping performance of the Chinese short track team (women) against the Koreans, and concluded with a destiny fulfilled--Canada topped the gold medal count and won the gold medal in men's hockey tournament. It has been a great games, but we have to wait to see the long-term effect--mainly, the legacy of debt--to be evaluated, and unveiled.
