I believe it was ESPN's Chris Fowler who said yesterday, during Roger Federer's elegant return to form in his 4th round win against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the Australian Open, that it was "turn-back-the-clock night at Rod Laver Arena." Fowler also said today -- if I did not dream this -- that coverage of Roger's match against Andy Murray at 3:30 am will be on ESPN, not ESPN2, despite what your TV's program guide might say. Consider yourself warned if you are taping tonight for viewing at a more civilized hour. I will update this if I learn otherwise before I call it a night. As Patrick McEnroe said, yesterday's match was "a look back to the Federer funhouse." Let's hope he can keep the fun going tonight Go FedBerg!

Next year, we will insist that you take a photo with Roger. I'm still kicking myself for not insisting last year!
