A few years ago in my opinion. 
I'm a huge fan of the sisters, even more so Serena because I love her playing style and aggression.  But at 32, and already having 5 Wimbledon titles under her belt (amongst others), she should look to retire. 

Today was just a terrible sight to watch for someone I've loved watching succeed for so long...

She looked a shadow of herself..
 
Yeah, it's a bit sad for Venus cuz she was also going through some health issues... Sjogren's Syndrome, which I have no idea what it is, but know it's debilitating. Hard to stay health, train at the highest level and compete at the same time. She'll probably think things over the summer and decide if it's her last US Open.

Was never a fan of Serena (no problems with Venus), but it's always tough seeing your fav. players reach the end of their careers.
Fed's draw is SO cake... lets hope Isner can make things tricky for him.

Isner and his big-ace serve... out in the 1st round? Are you kidding me?

And now Berdych is out!?  Gulbis was in GOAT-mode though... DAMN.

^ Looks good on paper, but I THINK Hewitt's still suffering from some physical issues. Hip and or knees I think.

Meanwhile, Bellucci making things interesting for Rafa on Center Court~!

Andy was off-the-hook yesterday... 0 unforced errors in the 1st 2 sets... ridiculous.

She played relatively well, but Paszek really, really stepped it up... Just wow.

Rafa is my guy, but Fed is my pick to take it all.

I actually feel he's going to be back on top soon again.
 
Masha was about to lose the 1st set I thought for sure she would lose it. Amazing comeback for her

Yes... who is this guy!?

But that set point into the net... nerves... experience...

What the hell is with Rafa!?
 
Scratch that.

He got his game back

Very strange.  Rafa is no where near his best, but this Rosol is lights-out!!!
 
Damn, didn't even see this was still on, got overshadowed by the football -looks like one of the memorable Wimbledon matches too.
