LOL, Eurosport are clearly only contracted to show one court and one court only: Murray is playing Llodra on Grandstand but British Eurosport seem to be showing Fish vs Mathieu on Armstrong. Fish and Roddick stayed in the house of a friend of mine when they played junior Wimbledon. She says they used to wander around shirtless, in just towels etc after showering and going for runs. She was doing her GCSE exams at the time and still blames some unexpectedly poor grades on this. Fish wandering around shirtless >>>>>>>> Fish's tennis. Eurosport have had this shitty contract since I got sky back in 2000. They show whatever Sky Sports don't want to show, basically. I never understood why they didn't show Armstrong instead of Grandstand more often, since the main Sky channel is usually always on Ashe, though.

If Lindsay won this US Open without beating a Williams, it wouldn't count. That is correct. In fact even if you win a Slam beating BOTH Williams sisters, if their parents claim afterward that they were both sick and/or injured, that Slam title also does not count. Really, Justine, for example, won zero Slams, not seven as a few rabid Walloon nationalists may claim, because she either beat no Williams or she beat a sick or an injured Williams, or else she lied and fabricated her way to so-called "victory". ;D

Coin is making way too many errors now. She's playing like a top 100 player now so Ana, playing like a top 50 player, will win.

WOW. The end of the match was so tense! The DF, the challenge, the winner on the line...this is huge.
Number of matches BAG has won since RG = 4.

OMG BAG. Coin played a very good match, where did this run come from... She's 25 and never did anything. Apparently she was a very successful US college player. And she is a math graduate according a tennisforum.com poster. Go Coin!

The highlights of Coin's career so far seem to be some deep runs in 25Ks, including a win or two. And she reached the final of the Vancouver 50K this month, losing to U-Rad.
In Stanford qualies, she lost 1-6, 0-6 to Keothavong.

Oh. I was hoping she was something like her compatriot Beigbeder who was a full-time secretary and a chain smoker before she turned to pro tennis, and also had a mini-run at some tournament.

OMG Beigbeder, I remember her! I think her run was at Strasbourg. Did she reach the top 100, or peak just outside? She only seemed to bother for a year or so.
