Some caps...

... because although I feel like I should've been in bed hours ago, there's something hypnotic about capping, this shot, that shot, every shot...

( A few US Open final caps, nearly all Roger )

I couldn't figure Roger out at first. He looked almost casual about the whole winning thing, happy sure but not his usual Grand-Slam happy. Brief worry that he was getting too comfortable about winning - then I started capping the after-match bits and noticed the tears in his eyes when he sat down, how much he giggled and bounced during his interview, how big and goofy his grin was at times and yeah, he really was happy. I guess with the crowd so for Andre and with how much he respects Andre - which was obvious from the interviews after - that maybe he just wasn't bursting-into-tears-falling-down happy.

Still, the part of his interview where he thanked everyone "backstage" could've been lifted from Cincy and he looked happier to be handed the Lexus car keys than the million dollar cheque. Though of course, he's a man so that's understandable. (They showed a shot of Mirka and I think she looked happier about the million dollars. ^__^) But I don't think there's ever been a question that Roger wouldn't win this, not since Andy went out in the first round, and I think that may've got into his head, just a little, to the point where he was expecting this. I don't know; don't know what he's thinking right now. Other than about when he gets to drive his new Lexus. I just feel this one didn't mean quite so much as Wimbledon, or last year, or maybe as it should have.

And now I really am going to bed because it's been a long day and I'm still not 100%. Better than earlier, much, but not quite there.

Hhhmm. So much to do.
