Moxie,
I was impressed with Sheltons rally tolerance in the match and also his return of serve, especially when it mattered

That was literally painful to watch/ listen to! The new kids on the block need to come up w/ a new way to congratulate their opponents w/o sounding like a sycophant! I was absolutely nauseated when he spoke of Fritz & his hard work, blah, blah, blah! Who doesn't work hard these days? As average as Taylor's game is, he's still in the top 10 along w/ Shelton! - Update: Shelton saved 3 MP's! Wow! Taylor's gonna remember that! :clap:
