I don't think Kim will be able to close it out. Shades of Toronto.

Aussie commentator: This is the best women's match of the Open so far. LOL! ;D The Aussie commentator must really like Aussie Kim.

This match is the best example that the quality of tennis for casual fans is irrelevant as long as the drama is in full swing.

Yes! One sistah is gone. Let all the seeds lose, except Bepa and Sveta.

Kim preparing well for Lee Na in the next round.
And this means Serena, #2, wins another slam. Dinara should say how meaningless AO, RG and USO are.

I know it's been said already, but Kim will be a (slamless) number 1 within the next 15 months.

I cannot wait to read the people at WTAW bitching about the American crowd rooting against the American. They, however, would have a point today. Right? It certainly sounded at least 65% pro-Kim. Fortunately, I don't like either of them, so I don't care, and will just enjoy the fighting.

I'm glad to see that Del Pony seems to have recovered from his unfortunate collision with a wall.

RG is probably hers unless Justine comes back in time for it. If we're lucky she gets pregnant again before then. Though that hubby of hers looks like a non-starter.

I only watched the last few games, and the crowd seemed about even. Although, they were more animated than usual with an Amurrkin losing after the match.
The crowd is never really behind the Sistahz much anyway, especially Venus. RAYCIST~

This match is the best example that the quality of tennis for casual fans is irrelevant as long as the drama is in full swing. Give them half a dozen long rallies to keep them awake after dozing through all those points that ended with a crass error after a couple of shots and they're happy. This went to 3 sets and that's all that matters, since 3 setters automatically = higher quality in the mind of the casual fans.

We're forgetting that Justine is also coming back! And will crush Kim in the 2010 RG final. That cheating bitch.

The crowd is never really behind the Sistahz much anyway, especially Venus. When I liked to fight with the particularly moronic Williams fans, it would be very hard to counter that exact claim, because...it's true. I mean, hello Indian Wells, but really everywhere, even in the States. And it would be foolish to dismiss this. Obviously this plays a part. But...look. Serena is a giant bitch. And no matter how diplomatic Venus has become lately, when she was a teenager, she was also a giant tactless bitch. And...people don't forget. Well, let's be honest: it would be easier for tennis fans to forget if they were white, but, overall, that's a moot point.

I will dismiss it.
What player consistently gets the most crowd reaction since Agassi? James Blake. Who sucks.
The reason is because the Williamz family, mostly thanks to Daddy, have been aloof forever. And they don't "give back" to the crowd much. Vee is nice and courteous to the crowd and all, but she shows no emotion. And we know Serena is a psycho cunt. She's lucky she doesn't get booed out of stadiums with her nonsense.

It plays the same part for Flake as it does for Venus and Serena: some people don't like them because they're black. But Flake is SO NICE like Kim so he's affected much less.
