I'll guess 11 games combined for the Russian filler.
Pointless note: The local sports shows here for idiots, that never talk or know a thing about tennis, even notice that Dinara is a baby constantly looking at her box and questions why everyone but the Williams are pathetic. Could it be that commoners are finally catching on about the horrors of Women's Tennis, and why the Sistahz are so dominant?

Definitely. They've been discussing it on PTI a lot. When even Wilbon and Kornheiser note that Safina is a mental midget, shit's going down.

I have a feeling the Dinara FVW will be competitive. Remember folks, Dinara's best on grass = Venus's best on grass!

Looks like two bags of awful to me. I might watch some of the final.

Positivity: these surely cannot be as bad as we all expect them to be, therefore they will be better!
I'm still going to make plans for tomorrow afternoon though.

But as Corswandt once pointed out, you expect the worst and then it turns out somehow even worse. Women's tennis! Demented will be a up a set and a break, a rain delay will occur, FIGHTER will get a pep talk from VEE and the rest of the family and come back and win like 10 of the next 11 games. Oh, who am I kidding, Demented will fold to the exciting score of 6-4 6-4. Also, Safina will cry.

If a miracle happens, and the Russians win, that final will blow hard. See: Olympics x10 worse.
So, no matter what, we lose.

Even though I haven't posted in years, I got a seven day suspension from TennisForum for "offensive bad reps." I didn't use any profane or sexual language, all I did was badrep some posters with father's day jokes. That's it.

I'm really looking forward to today. Lunch at a secret café in Shoreditch which you can't see from the road, and thence to the park to drink and chill. We have a bottle of Veuve Clicquot but will no doubt end up on the cheapest of cava by the time the day is out.

Demented breaks in the opening game. Commentators expect some kind of match lolz.

Obviously Silliams now wins 6 games in a row.

Wow, Demented now has a bug serve.

Demented holds from 0-40 and this match is not bad!

Seriously, people, when did Demented buy a serve.

Silliams has disastrous footwork today.

I was waiting for the collapse to come, and I thought it had arrived at 6-3 when that double fault popped up, but she's won a set. Who'd have thought? Watch Ree fight back and win the next two sets 6-2, 6-0 or some bullshit.

That was the best set of women's tennis I've seen in years. And the best set I've ever seen from Dementieva, period.
6-7 6-3 6-0 coming, but hey. Better than nothing.

How did she get that 2nd serve in? ?? That might be Elena's best set ever, at least the mental part. But, it's just one set. I agree. She's served well and playing relatively smart. But, it's just one set.

Let the comeback begin. But, Dementieva's done far better than we expected. Oh well.
