The Curse of the Defunct DSL has struck yours truly, and that's why TDO hasn't been updated in a week. Plus, it's always a bit harder to update after a loss, which is what Taylor suffered at the hands of Lleyton Hewitt this past Sunday. The fiery Aussie took the dramatic five-set contest (perhaps a Hewitt-Dent Grand Slam tradition in the making) 6-3 3-6 6-7 6-2 7-5 with passing shots like lasers and nerves of steel. Though both men's serves let them down at various times on Sunday, it was Taylor's game that suffered the more. Yet as he often does, Taylor remained positive after the loss: "Believe it or not, I'm encouraged with the fact that it's not something else that let me down. It's not another thing about my tennis that I have to worry about. It's still just the serve." Be sure to check out all the quotes from all the articles posted, including three new excellent pieces from Monday, and catch Taylor's final post-match interview from the 2005 US Open. If there is time then yours truly will highlight a few important points and quotes out in the near future.
Unfortunately photos will not be up until yours truly has internet at home again (probably next weekend) sine the public library doesn't allow downloading files -- apologies! But for once its actually not my fault
