I'd love for Na Li to do well, but for the sake of brainless bashers stopping Juju, don't have a choice but to root for Vaidisova and Sharapova. They're the only two players who have any hope of stopping Juju. Anyone else is a straight-set win for her.
I loved Flavia's performance today. She played an excellent match. But wow! at Maria's intensity. So much fun watching her play.
Dani played like complete shit. However, Justine played a solid match and hit some spectacular winners (as we have come to expect now). She's looking good for the career slam.
I've got Lleyton on tv now. Go Lleyki!

I'm getting Vaidisova and Lleyton on tv. Li has really made it interesting. I really want to root for her. She's got a nice game. But, even if she beats Kimmie, she'll lose to Juju in 4 minutes or something.

I can't believe kim gets to play a JUNIOR in the 4th round of Wimbledon. First she got a walkover and now again she has this great luck.

Oh no! NBC takes over. So I assume we'll get a tape of maria's match? For now they're going with baghdatis, though.

And atleast her QF will be tougher than Bremond. Though, all of us know, Kim will win her matches in under an hour, reach the semis, lose to Justine in straights and tell everyone how thrilled she is with the result. And then, she'll become #1.

NBC is saying they'll be jumping from court to court! So we might get to see some good stuff. Then later, I'm sure, they'll go to the Maria tape. And I'll take a well-deserved nap.

No, I forgot that. Ferrer takes a set! But baghdatis makes up for that by collapsing here in the 2nd. (

Roar, Kim survived some breakpoints to serve out the set 6-2. Looking remarkably like that Steffi-Kim match from seven years back, actually.
Naturally Bjorkman and Mirnyi are in a fifth set. What else would be expected?
Murray has the break in the 2nd! WHOOO.

Jonas trying to stay in the 3rd set. Why can't Max stick to the script! Jonas in trouble -- I always worry about geezers in 5 sets.

Wimbledon points removed put Kim on at #1 and unless Momo does something spectacular (i.e: winning), she'll most likely lose #1 from what I have read.

I don't know if she has to win, but she must go further than Kim if that's the case. A final while Kim loses in the SF might be enough.

I forgot about their 6-0 5-7 10-8 match from last year won by Nastya!

Na Li is having quite the tournament but the rest of her year isn't all that great ... soft draws or luck in a lot of cases. Ivanovic retired 6-1 up against her in Berlin in the first round enabling her SF run there; she made the 4R of Miami only having to beat Kremer, Benesova and King; top ten players have been thrashing her all year. Prior to Wimbledon, her biggest scalps of the season were Schnyder in Berlin and Hantuchova in Doha. When I was told of her meteoric 40 spot rise in three months this year, I was kinda expecting a bit more substance to it than that.

Jank and Myskina just can't help it. That's twice Nastya could not serve it out. What I want to know is how Jank lost her serve in the 5-5 game .. she was up 40-15 at least.

Whoooo, Myskina prevails 6-4 7-6 (5). If she gets Mauresmo again, she'll lose that, surely. But if it is Ivanovic, that might go either way.
