    Not me. I watched Del Potro beat Federer in the finals of the US Open Tennis tournament yesterday. I'm glad Del Potro won. Federer has won enough.

    The growth hormone and loads of roids are interfering with your ability to remember how to spell your first name.

    What gave it away? The fine physique? The dark patches on his shirt under the arms to disguise the sweat patches? Or the fact that he has his nickname tattooed on his arm....?
