If Venus from now on serves as well as she did against Maria (74%, average speed 184 km/h ), only Henin can stop her now. |

Just remembered that SportTV is almost certain to show Nudd-Ahl instead of the women on Centre Court.  |

This is great; good old ESPN is switching between matches, depending what's going on.
Now let's see if Kuzzy can break from 0-40 -- WHOA! What a spectacular 2nd serve from V! :eek:

Kuzzy did break. Maria never even got a BP against Vee, so that's great, but now she's got to hold, and we all know she won't!

Sage words, Janie.
I'm not enchanted with Djokovic's game. Hopefully Hewitt gets through here ...
Youzny d. Nadal? That would sorta kill al the fun of this tournament ...

Marcos is through in straight sets!  Goodbye grumpy Davydenko! King Kolya earlier: "Wimbledon is the world's most boring tournament. There's hardly anything to do apart from tennis. You constantly find yourself yawning. There's no entertainment here. We're staying in the city centre so it's a bit better. If we rented a house near Wimbledon, it would have been a total bore. There's absolutely nothing to do besides tennis.”Well now there's not tennis, either. Now you can go somewhere exciting and have so much fun!  |

Oh, please. Wimbledon is so peculiar! All the other courts have been cleared due to rain, but Youzhny-Nadal has not stopped for a second! I'm sure Youzhny would like a rain break right now.

How about JONAS? 46 06 76!   I guess it's the smoking that's gotten him through? Youzny is kinda falling apart now. Pat Mac is ripping Wimbledon. Well, that was an entertaining 20 seconds. Perhaps if NBC ditched the reverence they speak the name Wimbledon a bit more often, something productive may happen. |

Poor Jonas, I guess that tiebreak set took everything he had. I hope he can win a game in this final set!

Youzhny is well on the way to blowing a perfectly good 2 sets lead.

Sorry, that was the 4th set. I'm not very good at counting! And they lost that set 67, so now the real 5th has begun.
