NEW YORK TEMPS

First a quick note because I just know you are so interested in this sport. Rafa Nadal just won his first-ever Australian Open Tennis Championship -- hurrah! It was an exciting match and poor Roger Federer he was so disappointed and sad, he was literally crying during the trophy presentations. He is a great champion but today, he was beaten by a better player. Both men are wonderful men and have excellent character and great respect for each other and the game of tennis.
