"Andy Murray is third on Arthur Ashe tomorrow against Chilean Paul Capdeville, preceeded by Serena Williams against Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez while Venus Williams (against Magdelena Rybarikova) and Rafael Nadal (against Nicolas Kiefer) make up the night session. Kim Clijstes is also in action, tentatively pencilled in for fourth on Louis Armstrong. But that clash against compatriot Kristen Flikpkens may be moved to Ashe depending on how things go."

First up on Ashe, Hantuchova vs. King. Sigh.
Goooo Grumpy Magda. This will be my first good opportunity to watch her.

Oh, so you want to 69 Danielka.

If Vania attacks Hanturexia like she did Stosur, Danka will freak out and cry. I hope that happens.
I would say Rybarikova has a chance, given her talent and Venus's form, but going three sets with the two weakest Qs doesn't bode well.
Oh god, I just had a vision of a Ste. Kim/Safina final, with Safina winning 10 points.

That vision will be true. Women's tennis may die on 12 September 2009. A nice birthday present!
How I hope Magda wins. I'm just watching the first set, then hiding for the inevitable.

All this talk of women's tennis confuses me. Do they have a tournament going on?
Anyway, I might watch today, since I no longer work Saturdays. I have no idea what to do with two full days off.

Petzsch is whooping JCF -- I'm surprised by the decisiveness of the score but not really surprised at Petzsch winning that one. Levine whooping Cilic at the moment.  Whatever Wozniak tries to do against Pennetta, it never works -- has now 3 games in 2 matches. |

Whatever Wozniak tries to do against Pennetta, it never works -- has now 3 games in 2 matches. I saw the end of the first set against Mauresmo, and Woz was pushing the ball in the middle of the court. It might work against a player who's going to retire soon, but not against Pennetta. |

He does not look so good on pictures, he's better in real life. And I love his slice.  |

But I don't love that he just wasted serveral break chances. I fear a Ferrero comeback.  |

Vera will lose to Vesnina, of course. Then I can completely stop caring.

Petzschner is definitely better-looking on TV than in photos. But...black socks. Why. No.

Wasn't Petzsch up 2 sets and a break? That one is interesting now. Levine followed up his two set lead with a 0-6 third set, so the men are doing a Barrois.  |

Jesus, I only just noticed that Anime Eyes was two sets down to Levine. Men's tennis.

Petzschner's dropshots are nice but his attitude and negativity are horrible. Juanqui playing well, though. LOL, if he actually reaches the top 10 like he said he would!
Flavia on fire, only six games dropped and into the second week. The real No 1.
Ooh, Silliams/MariaHo grudge match now!

Del Porto wins the 1st TB thanks to Melzer choking. Times like this, Williamz matches, are when I'm very glad there's 2 networks covering this now. |

Juanqui just won a GREAT rally. Woohoo, they are at set 5, 4-4. I am glad to see Nico whooping Nestor-hater Istomin, which I thought was easy money and therefore wagered the mortgage. |

I swear these streams choose to freeze disproportionately on match points Or break points. Or during long exciting points where the picture freezes but the sound continues so you can hear the crowd gradually getting louder. |

Endless, endless deuce game on Mariaho's serve at *5-5...so many break points saved, such good volleying...but the game ends with two consecutive DFs |
