Shitra about to go down 5-1 to Hampton. At least I'll be excited for the winner.

Well I did predict her losing in the 3rd round on the Russian board, so I guess she's trying to prove me right.

Yeah I think I picked Peng for the 4R here. So she's already well exceeded my expectations. The stupid whore.

So fun to have a match where I'll be really happy no matter what happens here. Hampton's already done so well, so if KvittyGOAT shows up, all well and good. And if she doesn't, well as you two have said, none of us expect anything from her, ever.

No, sorry, I've barely been near my laptop or tv today. Just moments here and there, then away again. So haven't read anything yet, but I always go back to catch up later. In this case, I guess that means right now.

I think Lindsay was mostly talking about coaching violations. I remember her bringing that up before several times and I rarely get to listen to her commentary. That's why she said day in and day out. At least that was my assumption after I read Hurley's tweet. It's always weird to me that it's such a huge deal in US, because I remember visiting Kremlin Cup and everyone was doing it. Like I was sitting next to Dinara's mother and they had the whole conversations, and the umpire actually noticed cause it was so open, but did nothing. But then again maybe Dinara is not good enough in Lindsay's eyes, so she had no problems with her doing it. It was entirely based on their reputation of him as an evil genius master and her as his apprentice. And the fact that used those hand signals added a mystical touch to it - who knows what he's instructing her and what those two are scheming!!!!1 The whole concept of coaching violations is ridiculous now in the light of on-court coaching. Now the coaches are allowed to actually instruct their players and we see that 90% of those instructions is pep-talk, 9% is such sound advice as "you have to hold your serve" or "play to her forehand" and 1% is calling the opposing player a bitch.

And to think that it's for that 1% that they implemented that stupid, stupid idea in the first place. Thinking how exciting for everyone to hear the dirt. They didn't realize that Yuri and Richard W. would soon be out of the picture and the coaches would be speaking in Polish.

Sloane backs into the 4r. This is a case where I think slam success will hurt her, because she's just not 2nd week of GS good.

Is Shitra already a less severe version of BAG's collapse? You know, a bunch of horrible losses that you put down to slump, or adjusting to fame and glory and whatnot, with some promising results in between that make you think she's on her way back. And eventually she settles at a level that's a few notches lower than before it all started and you realize it's permanent.
