Andy Roddick(USA)[7] vs. Bjorn Rehnquist(SWE)

Saw Rehnquist play a few times through a local channel's coverage of Bastad last year. Comically bad challenger hack. For once, Roddick won't have the fugliest BH in the match.

ES is likely to show the first 3 games of this and then switch to The World's Sexiest Woman closing out the 1st set on court 2.

I just hope they show some of Dokic/Paszek - huge chokefest potential there.

I won't have much time to post in here or anywhere else during the first week. If I do, it's probably a sign that I'm a really really spiteful mood and really really need to vent some h8tred.

He was a good junior but that was a long time ago, and it's been obvious since then that he'd never do anything as a pro.

Had very easy Q-draw too. Probably in the Artem Derepasko league (if anyone remembers that name ).

What or who is Hisense and why do they get their own arena?

I want to see Potito v Tomic. Living in the US, what chances do you guys give me on getting to see that one? I hope poor St. Potito will have some fans in the stands.

First I have to watch Joe Biden.

Yes, Miss Landers.

I'll have to record to the box, and hope that the 2 hours or so of TV time I'll have in the evening tomorrow will be enough to go through all of this tennis (FFWDing between points and between 1st and 2nd serves, FFWDing at times 32 through all the men's matches).

Have a nice first day, and may all your faves suck as much as mine.
