Yes, NBC has dibs, and they chose the glamour match, regardless of the fact that it is happening second. What if Puerta takes this match to a 5th, like 20-18? NBC will be so PO'd! ;D

Puerta went up a break in the fourth and just lost it...

"We don't need any second bidding to use the words 'ding' and 'dong', and they certainly describe this enthralling semi-final!"

"PUERTA BREAKS!! He takes a 4-3 lead, but needs to consolidate the break as he was unable to do earlier in the set."

"ACE!!! Mariano Puerta slams down a wonderfully-timed serve to take the fourth set 6-4! We're going the distance!"  at NBC -- now I am hoping for a 90 minute set because they go off the air at 1:00. |

I bet Davydenko and Puerta danced the raindance together this morning and then shook hands on playing five sets, so Nadal and Fed would have to play over two days. |

"Lisa Brion throws her hat into the Nadal-trousers debate: "Ahh yes, the pants are awfully nice, the only thing is you can see his y-fronts through them, and I've always been more of a boxer girl myself." Calm down, girl..."

17:51 PUERTA LONG!! A tired backhand from the Argentine and it's 4-2 for the number 12 seed. HE'S DONE IT!! An immediate break back, 'epic' does not even do this one justice! Mariano Puerta right back in the hunt!  |

Nadal/Puerta final.
Nice lesson for the kids.
Take 'roids, and you win Grand Slams. Allegedly.

How can they mention great players from Mallorca and not mention little Nuria?  |

Now that these guys are out there, I guess i'm glad Puerta/Davy didn't go to 20-18. Allez! I'm rooting for Rog, too. But it will be fun to watch a match like this where I like both guys a lot.  |

Wow, I'm totally in love with the guy on the public address system. Wish they'd let us hear him a little bit. Men speaking French, omg! There's nothing like it. :lust:

Was it my imagination or did Bill Cockatoo just refer to "Mario Puerta"?
