Anyone else rooting for James Blake....

[TimeforMe]

in the US Open tonight? He hails from our town and graduated from the school my kids attend. He is genuinely such a nice, caring individual and has overcome so many obstacles, that it's hard not to like the guy. He visited the school just this past June as they dedicated the new tennis courts to him and the kids all said he was awesome.

Anyway, I really like Federer too, but gotta go with our hometown boy although his chances don't look great.

I saw his match w/Agassi last year and fell in love w/him. Federer is legendary as both a winner and the nicest guy on the tour but Blake was born in the next town over from me so I gotta root for my hometown boy too

It would be a stunning upset for James to win!

Hard to know who to root for, both so likable and that's nice to see in sports matches.
