    Rafa hammers Federer?
    Rafa slips past Federer?
    Rafa propels self past Federer?

    I won't be surprised if Nadal-Federer is our cover tomorrow, mainly because NASCAR had run Saturday night, and we have nobody left in the track or swimming trials. Any of those would have beaten it out, I think, probably more for Ryan's reason #2 (the news cycle) than reason #1 (the tepid interest in tennis).

    I'll bet anyone here it's A1 on both the NY Times and Washington Post tomorrow. Ought to be front page of your section, no matter what. Maybe greatest Wimbledon final ever? They've been holding the event for awhile.

    I'd tend to agree, but I don't think you're giving the news cycle much credence here, and we have to. That's going to be through two TV news cycles before it comes out in print.

    I'm on the desk tonight.

    We're mandated to be local front. But B2 is going to be Wimbledon a lede. Photo of Nadal celebrating, big headline, deck - all above the fold.

    People still care. A buddy of mine emailed after the match "What a fucking tennis match!" And this is the biggest baseball fan I know. Hell, I didn't even know he watched tennis. Ever.
