I didn't to bed until 9:30 this morning after being up all night watching Andy Roddick and Fernando Gonzalez fight to the death in their insane epic marathon. The whole day of tennis gave the Open Thread a record number of comments. If you have the patient to sift through them all can sift throught them all, you'll get intense comments about everything from the matches to bad journalism to doping controversies. Thanks to everyone who stayed up through the night and participated.
