  Thank you, Richard, for reminding me to wake up. It's just I didn't want to die until I found out which religion was true. Well, I mean the Truth of all religions. (: I'll find out, you wait and see. And then I'll let you know right here on IntentBlog.

  Federer goes to final. Nadal is down 2 sets to 0 when rain interrupted play. The game resumes on Monday.

  Correction: Serena won the semi final, not the final(#66). The women's final is also postponed to Monday because of Hanna.
