Since I was in New Haven this past weekend, I didn’t have a chance to write any thoughts on the finals from Cincinnati. Much to my delight, my 90-year-old Grandpa sent me an email this afternoon with his thoughts. Disclaimer: The below does not reflect the opinions of The Slice.

Hi to my tennis buffs!!!!!!!!
This past weekend was a rather disappointing one for me.
Federer was beaten–my favorite– Djokovic withdrew from the finals-
and Sharapova beat Jankovic—whom I like,
I watched the entire match and frankly, was quite disappointed.
They did not perform like champions. Both played rather sloppily
and I found myself taking imaginary shots for Jankovic.
Would be interested in your opinions.
Can’t wait for the US Open on August 29th.
Hopefully, we shall see some “good” tennis.
Love
Grandpa
