JJ with a good last 2 games to close out the set, though.
Kleybanova, how does she remain so fat and pale while being a professional tennis player. And she's 6 feet tall. It defies physics.

Gallovits is pretty. Too bad she's quit already vs. Bepa.
Nice to see Petkovic back, but I think that match will also be uncompetitive.

Can't sleep (clown'll eat me).
Gallovits was once the Worst Player in the Top 100, but she seems to be winning more now. Her game is pathetic, but hey, good for her? Nevertheless, this should be a wipe-out, but You Just Never Knowâ„¢ with Bepa.

Seriously...what the hell is wrong with Troicki today? We've all seen him play much better in recent months.
PHM on the verge of another of his patented two-sets-up chokes...

That had more to do with Edina. She never had any belief she could win.
Federer with another good start vs. Korolev. Is he back to domination?

It had everything to do with Edina. She couldn't win. Because she's the Worst Player in the Top 100(-ish).

Needless rant: I'm really tired of Federer acting like the challenge system is the spawn of Satan. Nevermind the ridiculousness of disliking something that improves line calls and takes virtually no time... Every time he uses it he's like "UGH". If you hate it so much don't fucking use it, you smarmy dick.

Damn, a bunch of intriguing matches just started. Should I just stay up? My schedule has improved of late and I've slept for much of the last two days, though I am feeling a bit under the weather. I CANNOT ditch this lecture. Decisions! I already know I will not be showering prior to class tomorrow.

Holy crap, what an epic fail by PHM.
So LL Delic will play Djokovic, and I'm sure they'll be talking about a new hope for the States on USian TV even though he's been around and sucking for about half a decade.

I don't think there's any American ranked below 10 that isn't a "new hope", no matter the age. I think Craybas was last year. Patriotism, one of those things I'll never understand in tennis coverage.
Fat Dave is playing lousy and will take this 5 sets for no reason. Status quo.

Woke up just in time to see the super-dramatic end to Lu/Fat Dave! Fatty had like 7 or 8 BPs in that last game but couldn't take any. I love upsets.

OK, results. WTF Troicki, no one should be getting thrashed that badly by Robredo. PHM losing from two sets up? Quelle surprise. I guess he was *5-1 up in the third, too? Lucie! Bepa's bagels!

Wow, Baghdatis looks old. Wasn't it just the other year that he was the hot young thing swashbuckling his way to the final.

LOL, Eurosport commentators on Chatschreiber.
*dramatic voice* "Boris Becker said this man would be a future top 10 player. (Beat.) He said that quite a few years ago."

Elsewhere, Dokic is choking against Chak! I almost want to switch to that: is there any way that match isn't the ultimate horrorshow?

Just had v confusing sensory moment whereby Chak Attack reached SP on the live streaming and Santoro reached triple MP on my TV at exactly the same time and I tried to watch both. And...it was Chak who took hers, and Fab Fabrice who blew all three of his!
