To Russia, With Love

I'm excited that Andy Roddick will play Roger Federer in the final of the U.S. Open this afternoon, but it was Roddick's semifinal opponent, Mikhail Youzhny of Russia, who really stole my heart. Youzhny's beautiful backhand and genial disposition definitely seemed to win over the rest of the New York crowd on Saturday too, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of him in years to come.
