Safin gets the night match!

To accomodate for the scores who will be arriving to see Nalbandian, of course.

[shenaynay]

Roger/Timbledon at 11? I'm surprised by that one...

[Traveling Man]

I'm surprised Dementieva-Zvonareva didn't get the night match.

I can't believe I'm going to say this but, Go Lindsay!

[Wagasi]

I hope it doesn't rain again for the fortnight...any more replays of the agassi match might put me off tennis for good

anyhoo, GO BEPA! destroy the serveless one!

[shenaynay]

It will definitely rain again.

Saturday is going to be a complete washout. Probably most of Sunday, as well.

I will try to enjoy today before ignoring until like Wednesday.

[Pamela Shriver]

They should get all of today's day session in, and Lindsay should probably finish up her match before the rains come. But the second night match might not finish, and as Leena said, there won't be any play tomorrow. But Sunday afternoon they should be able to get some play in, and Sunday night should be a full session.

[Maeby Fünke]

Go Elena!!! Or Vera!!!

[Traveling Man]

Sandra De Jenkin is SO hot. Yum.

[shenaynay]

RACIST~

[shenaynay]

KOLYA beats Mahut! .

Justine down a set to Ai.

[Pamela Shriver]

Jankovic def. Vaidisova 5-7 6-3 6-2

Jelena is going to be top ten next year if she keeps it up.

[Brinyi]

Good! Another barbie bites the dust!

[Traveling Man]

Sveta wins 6-3, 6-0.

Tommy def Sluiter.

Justine cruising now.

[Traveling Man]

They showed Lindsay and Mary around 20-30 minutes ago talking and laughing while watching the other pros practicing. My favourite moment of this US Open so far.

[Pamela Shriver]

I didn't see that.

I get the US Open world feed. Mary had left her hair open and was standing. Lindsay was sitting with her hair in a small ponytail. Mary said something and then had a huge grin on her face and Lindsay looked back and then they both looked to the court ahead of them and were laughing while talking some more. Really sweet. Heh.

[Traveling Man]

Justine wins. It was an entertaining match, especially the last two sets. The first set got ugly when Justine's errors started piling up. The last two sets had a lot of close games and really fun rallies; didn't feel like 6-1, 6-0 sets.

[Traveling Man]

Apparently, Vince Spadea signed up for practice, but none of the players signed up to practice with him because they're all miffed about the book her wrote? Is he the modern-day male version of Nathalie Tauziat?

[Traveling Man]

Spadea leads Bjorkman 6-4.

[Grarliner]

How close was Peer to finishing Schiavone in the second set there?

Ha, I guess so.
But Vania King is willing to play Mixed with him, I see.

[Traveling Man]

James is wearing the retro-Agassi look from the late 80s/early 90s. Which RG did Andre wear this outfit at? I think it was in '90 when he lost to Gomez.

[Grarliner]

Rezai leads Kirilenko 6-3 ...

[janie]

Too bad I only saw the bad part of Justine's match! She had no focus at all. I was wondering if she was dwelling on the approaching storm, and whether she could finish before it hits.

BTW, all that green on the US weather radar has been on top of my house for hours now, yet we've only had a few sprinkles. The radar is deceptive!

Good! ;D
But too many still left to go.

Kirilenko = "Vastly Overrated Barbie"

[Traveling Man]

I think Kirilenko is nice looking, so I'll root for her. Not that I think she can beat Rezai. I'm surprised Lil' Masha even managed to win the two matches she did at the Open.
