Maybe the real bottom line is just that Justine is just way more talented than Kim. Justine = Baghdatis; Kim = Hewitt. Possibly. It's been a very long time since Kim beat her in a big match, hasn't it? All the way back to French Open 2001? I knew the rain would lead to the coverage being fucked up. Damn them for foisting Nadal upon me.

Vivi & Paola serving to stay in the match on court 3 ... They won! 9-7 in the 3rd. I can't believe the run they're having, as an unseeded team.

In other news, Mauresmo is killing Sharapova right now.

So she's up a break in the 2nd already? Good. I suddenly realized I am strongly rooting for Amelie to beat the shriekaholic.
Can't believe Knowles is back out there playing Mixed! probably was afraid what Nav would do to him if he withdrew. Especially now that she's out of women's doubles and this is her last hope.

Wow, Amelie has only 3 UEs, at 63 31! If she keeps this up, I will watch NBC's tape of it after all. I can always mute the tv and miss out on the torture of the screeches.

Mauresmo made one UE in the first set. That's impressive.

from 3-1 and AT LEAST 2 BPs up, Am now at 3-all. So predictable, Amelie ...

Her level has dropped, but Maria hit a couple of good shots. I hope she won't go into the passive mode now...

Amelie's UE count is sure growing fast.

Maria is hitting harder, grunting harder and dominates the point now. Not looking good.

from 3-1 to 3-4, horrible.
If the screecher wins I have no plans to watch it on tv when it comes on. Amelie's meltdowns are so torturous.

MARIA MANIA! It all happens here. yes we will all have to hear what a "fighter" she is. Despite the fact that her opponent is imploding.

Mauresmo can't serve anymore... but Sharapova does play better, that's what partly put pressure on Amelie.

Mauresmo slices every return and every backhand now.

Maria is making tons of errors. Unbelievable it's not 2-0.

I'd prefer Justine/Amelie, because Justine will be made out as a huge villian, so I'd cheer for her more when she wins.

Do you remember what happened the year of MARIA MANIA!?
Someone else won that tournament. And, of course, Maria remained on the main page of said tournament's site for the entire year... but, still.
*cries*.
