Day 6: Roger, over and out!

James Blake, currently the 7th ranked professional tennis player in the world and the top-ranked American player, did something nifty this week: he dispatched Roger Federer (ranked #1 in the world at the time) from the Olympics 6-4 7-6 (7-2) in the quarter-finals in Beijing. He's got all that going for him, and he looks like this: Not only that, he went to Harvard (for a couple years) and runs with celebrities (like John Mayer & Gavin DeGraw). And when his head isn't shaved he sports the Sideshow Bob hairdobut he makes it work:Unfortunately, breaking news reports indicate that he just got ousted from the Olympics by a player who lacked the good grace to acknowledge that a ball had actually touched his racquet.. So, Blake's Olympic dreams for 2008 have ended. But that just gives him more time to be my Olympic Boyfriend Of The Day.
