What do you like about checkers?: I enjoy learning more and more as i go. despite its alleged simplicity the game is incredibly complex and rewarding.

I personally was really proud of Tomic he got into the quarters and for a young guy thats massive.... ill check if he is the youngest or second youngest to do so... Becker did it pretty young but dont remember his exact age.

Nadal vs Djokovic in the final.... it will be great and congrats to Djokovic on getting the number 1 ranking spot, nobody other than Nadal and Federer had done so since 2004. Impressive!!!!!
