Marta, Michaela J, Gise & Woz all on the same court. Is it called the "I'm Pretty' court? Ha, good one, Becker! Poor Petko.

OMG Monaco rolls over his ankle. I am so never betting on tennis again. Principality!! He looks like he's playing again... Yeah, he kept playing. But my heart was racing. I have $20 on the sexy Argentinian from Monaco! Berlocq sucks. Play better! Less dropshots! We're not Portas!

Didn't Misa have a bad wrist injury and now can't hit a proper BH or something like that?

Ugh, the Aussies are already annoying as hell for Smeets.
Go get 'em, Fatty.

Smeets is a carbon copy of Guccione. Except not as good. Australia needs to stop producing tennis players.

Peng Shuai lost the first set to Kleybanova ... I've never seen the latter play. Good? Yes she's good. Kleybanova wa considered a top prospect when she came to America at a very young age to train for a tennis career like Kournikova and Sharapova did. But injuries have set her back. Maybe this is the year Alisa makes her move.

Thanks, Cat. Domachowska leads Johansson 5-0 already. It would be nice to see her comeback succeed. Btw, I forget why she declined so rapidly in the first place. Can someone re-enlighten me?

Tu! Tu! Tu! This would be AWESOME.
Marta da Pole on a rampage. Where is she located in the draw?...Possibly against CAKE in the 2R. Not a bad section for her form, really...

Peng has won the second set! Hantuchova wins, 3 and 5. Well, better her than King.

Monaco saved in the 2nd thanks for Berlocq making errors every point.
Fat Dave is quite impressive thus far, but this match isn't a test.

Szavay starting her 2008 Slam campaign. She should not lose to Makarova -- a good player, yes, but Agnes can't claim to be making a push at the Top Ten with a loss to a sub-100 girl.

Damn, Kirilenko levels at 2-2.
Domachowska 6-1 4-0.
Pironkova at 5-1 over Govortsova.

There is pressure and high expectations on Szavay to play well this year. I hope Agnes can handle the added stress to her life.

Okay, so I broke into ESPN360. With the help of a brilliant hacker on MTF. Here is the thread: www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=115694However, I unfortunately lost my wireless connection briefly and it may have fucked up everything. It was working for a while and looked good, once I went live (I was stuck on yesterday's matches for some reason). But now, frozen. It may not even be worth all the stress. It looks like ESPN2 coverage is gonna be good this year, or at least better than before. I love that they're showing Novak doing his impressions, but I don't like how that commentator forced him to do it. Watch, he's still gonna be doing these routines as a 50 year old has-been.

Wow, Marta won a main draw match at a Slam 6-1, 6-1??? Props to her. Perhaps she worked hard over the off-season with Juan Carlos. She hasn't beaten anyone good yet, but still I'm impressed that she's had 4 decent wins in a row. Like, whoa. She doesn't win matches. And yes, she is very pretty and sweet.

Yeah, it wasn't even a good impression because (a) his heart wasn't in it, (b) he didn't have any equipment, and (c) it's really only funny when it's new and surprising. Don't kill the new guy, bureaucracy!

She won a very big ITF late last year and killed everyone in qualies. She could really make a charge if she stays healthy. Szavay back on serve. 3-3. Contentious third set, but MP Kirilenko.
