Tennis

yeah i don't know. but he beat Nadal though

well federer ended up winning the tournament

awww........thats what usually happens. he somehow pulls it out everytime.

yeah i know. can't stand him

yeah. your mom seems to like him though.

yeah i know

that tennis thing that we are going to - it's a tennis match

i am not really sure. i was assuming thats what it was. i know its all american tennis players.

so i looked it up and its a tennis match for the americans.
roddick plays the #4 american player. and then some of the women play. and then there is an 18year old and 15 year old playing.

yeah i know. my mom gets tennis magazines and it was in there. i read it this morning while i was drinking my tea

oh ok. well you asked what it was. it should be fun since yall like tennis.

i didn't ask, i was telling you

Roddick will be in the Davis Cup, which is the US vs Russia.

Sampras beat Federer in an exhibition match. they played 3 different ones, and Federer won the first 2

oh ok. Thats cool, when is that match?

Who is Sampras?

i think the Davis cup starts on 11/30.

Pete Sampras. He's retired now. he holds all the records that Federer is trying to break

oh ok.

Wow, he got beat by a retired guy. I guess he was the best before Federer. Thats cool that Sampras can still win over Federer, since no one else seems to be able to beat him.

well he beat him once out of 3 times. he's still only 36 years old. he retired 5 years ago

oh wow, he retired at 31~ it must be nice~

only beat him once out of 3 times? thats not that great.

yeah i bet it is nice.

did you not read it the first time? they had a 3 match thing, and Federer won 2, and Sampras won the last one. considering how good Federer is supposed to be, the matches were close

oh i thought you meant something else. i thought you meant he has had other matches with him. like 3 different meetings....oh well.....

maybe federer got nervous playing someone else who is that good.

it was 3 different meetings, but they were close together i think.

i'm sure he was. he said Sampras was his idol

oh ok.

yeah. awww.....Sampras was his idol and he got to play him. thats pretty neat.

yeah i guess

it seems Nadal has had a stress fracture in his foot since 2004, but they say it won't hurt his future.
