Oh look, a Generation Suck TV special with Pushniacki, Vuvuzenka and...what? Lee Na? The BBC is so weird.

You can watch Baltacha or Bartoli on the internets. I'm watching the scoreboard. Patty just got bagelled.

I'm half-watching Baltacha. Man, Petra Martic sucks. Those few games against Wickmayer in Paris obviously a red herring.
Latisha bagelling Batty - there is nothing bad about that sentence.

I'd recommend watching Falla-Federer, there have been several LOL-worthy points already.

Fed a set and a break down The last two points of the first set were terrific, especially the Falla volley at 5-5, 30-30.

I guess we're up to SEWTA textbook in this match? Waiting for Falla to choke...

I've just tuned in, is this Lori McNeil happening all over again?

Watching Falla try to serve out the second set is so SEWTA.

What a game at 5-4! So many chances for both. Roger hit a single winner in this game, on the 1st set point, the rest was all about Falla and he finally takes it!
2 sets up vs Federer.
Yep, that's what makes it fun in this case.

their h2h:
2004 Wimbledon 64 Grass (O) R.FEDERER 6-1 6-2 6-0 2006 French Open 64 Clay (O) R.FEDERER 6-1 6-4 6-3 2010 French Open 64 Clay (O) R.FEDERER 7-6(4) 6-2 6-4 2010 Halle 16 Grass (O) R.FEDERER 6-1 6-2
you know, you could well say, Fed's played Falla twice in the past month and won easily, how could this happen...but maybe Falla's just had so many looks at Fed's game that he's learned something from those losses.

I've just tuned in, is this Lori McNeil happening all over again? I think it would be more shocking than the McNeil, Dokic, Ruano or Karlovic win. Roger is still the favourite to win this match though. I doubt Falla has what it takes mentally to finish the match. But... NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Fed really is playing badly though (and not in the sense that he's off but raising his game when necessary).
And yes, more surprising than any of those upsets, and you can throw Ivo/Chewitt in there too - even the Ruano one. What has Falla ever done in his career? He's been on tour for so long and I can't think of a single memorable result, even in MMs.

Falla took an injury time-out for the groin area. I wonder how that will influence the match.

What's with the official site? Why it sucks so much?
The scoreboard has been frozen for a while now, apparently it's only 40-15 in the 1st game of the 3rd set for Falla-Federer.
Edit: checked that at least IBM one is working. but still...

Fed saves two...

Oh, Falla has 2 break points for 5*-4 lead (oops, apparently it was even 0-40 ). One is gone and so is the other, let's wait for the turnaround... And 4 break points saved... Wow at Falla's volleying skills Obviously shaking. And it's 5-4, it was so close...

That felt a bit like a ~turning point~, like against Haas at RG last year.
That one deuce point was amazing though.

I have 0-40 at 4-4...is that not the score??
The OOP page also gives one incomplete scorelines. WTF Bimbledon.

It was obvious when Falla had the trainer out at 2 sets up.
Also, Baltacha losing after serving for it: lol@LTA.

Hey, Falla just broke in the fourth. I turned it off, but that's unexpected. What happened and how long will it last, that's the question.

Two Fed DFs, and Falla hasn't fallen apart.

Two Fed DFs, and Falla hasn't fallen apart. Thanks! Even IBM slamtracker froze on me, so I went to MTF and they report even 3 DF from Federer in that game. Considering that the only shot that kept Roger in this is his serve, that's generous!
