Day 8╜

[DBBN]

I like The Chak, but I'm not sure she's going anywhere. I do wonder if the off-court trauma affected her much more than she's letting on, but I think her ranking dip was inevitable regardless.

[DBBN]

COME ON FLO

Not Baghdatis AGAIN

[DBBN]

COME ON METROSPANIARD

Not Ancic AGAIN

[lexpretend]

I love Ancic and his sultry brown cow eyes.

I'd settle for "staying somewhere", never mind "going anywhere". And that draw was beckoning her...

Zheng to beat Vaidisova? Or is it a genuine resurgence?

[R. Black]

Hey, we're almost sure to have Zheng in the semi-final!

Could Tammy upset Venus? We can always dream.

[Traveling Man]

All-Williams final.

[Traveling Man]

My commentator: "If Jelena Jankovic is on top of the rankings for injury timeouts, Rafael Nadal is 1010."

I don't get it.

I think Vaidisova will beat Zheng handily. Vaidisova is actually really good and has been this far before on multiple occasions. She should really be a fixture in the Top Ten by now, that's obvious (especially when looking at the current Top Ten).

[Maeby Fünke]

Coco Vandewhegwhee lost to some Brit.

[The Chloe]

Ancic is a cow.

I see that I was beat to the cow reference.

[R. Black]

Zheng will win. I guarantee it.

Schuettler could make the semi-final. What year are we already?

[The Chloe]

My commentator, being completely serious: "Rafael Nadal does not get the trainer unless he's reaaaaaaaally hurt". Really? I mean, I'm sure those blisters I've seen him call them for are quite nasty and painful and all, but let's not talk the man up where it's not really necessary. He's no Djokovic, but dude. Seriously.

[sasha]

Indeed. Especially when Rafa folds as soon as he has some injury and is getting his butt kicked.

I'm not watching the women's event anymore. Except to stare at Nikki with her long legs and well-developed stuff.

Imagine a Clement-Schuettler QF.

Not only would we be in the wayback machine, but we'd be at the Australian Open too. :red:

[R. Black]

A-Rad won.

[GoDom]

Yay Aga Radwanska.

[Traveling Man]

The QF draw resembles Bangalore more than Wimbledon. Wait. Even that was stronger.

[lexpretend]

So, heading into the QF, the highest remaining seed is...

...ELENA DEMENTIEVA

[Edna Krabappel]

It's not like I'm going to see a women's match with a coverage like this, so these upsets (or "upsets") may as well continue to happen, for comedic value.

[The Chloe]

Anybody else getting Nadal-Youzhny on Star Sports? My commentators have been gushing about their desire to pleasure Nadal orally for the past hour. It's kind of irritating. What's up with Youzhny , anyways? Did he forget that he once was a formidable opponent for Rafa?

[GoDom]

Feliciano Lopez is often made fun of, but he is one of the best fighters on the men's tour, and that's not girly at all.

You beat me!!

That is why A-Rad/Kuz was on Centre Court, Tennis Channel commentators this morning while I was dressing. Cos those Willie matches were so exciting today.

Sexist! Chauvinist! Girls can fight too you know!!! Just, not the girls of the WTA.

Yes, I had to put it on mute after a while. I believe that David Mercer was one of them. One of them made the injury time-out quote re: Jankovic, which I posted earlier, that if JJ is #1 for most injury time-outs, than Nadal is #1010 for hardly taking any injury time-outs. They came up with a rankings list for injury timeouts to prove their point. Seriously.

Okay, I love Monica, and I agree with the underlying point he's trying to make, but 25? 30? That's REALLY pushing it.

Oh, I believe it. Listening to them drone on for 5 minutes after the match is more than enough evidence to support this. I wish that I could remember their post match quotes involving Nadal being a monster or a machine or something, but my mind has blocked it to prevent meltdown.

[GoDom]

The sexy backhand is back.
