[DBBN]

Also, THE RETURN OF LINDSAY.

[The Chloe]

She left?

[lexpretend]

If Isner continues like this he might manage to set two records at the opposite ends of the spectrum from each other - from 70-68 in the 5th to 0-6 0-6 0-6

[Traveling Man]

Davenport commentating on the Clijsters match: Kim is an independent thinker much like Steffi Graf, whereas Justine turns to her coach after every point, looking for a signal.

Andrew Castle asked her about her Wimbledon finals and kept questioning her on '05 and she goes thanks for bringing that up, sarcastically.

[R. Black]

Is he injured?

I'm sure De Bakker would give him a pity game at some point, if the triple bagel would be a possibility.

[Traveling Man]

He was getting treatment at the end of the first set.

Andrew Castle, bringing the conversation back to Lindsay by discussing mothers and she responds why don't you become my publicist since you keep directing the conversation back at me.

[lexpretend]

Guess what Nadezhda did serving at 1-6, 4-5, 15-30 down!

[Maeby Fünke]

No idea. Did she FF then threaten to kill the line jurge?

[Edna Krabappel]

This Bimbledon blows for me. I might as well have no coverage, and my computer is acting up so I can't really look for livestreams.

She double faulted.

Bepa played well in her second set. Apparently Wickmayer only won 12 points on the Bepa serve, but 8 of those were DFs.

Monfils is the most frustrating player to watch. So much talent, so much idiocy.

[lexpretend]

Oh, and Goo was a break up on Venus, but in a shocking development was broken straight back.

Same.

Wrong. I care! On this court today, Akgul and Kristina def. Kooky/Rybarikova 64 62

[Brinyi]

Funky Flo is disappointing me, down 2 sets to the lad from the renegade province.

By the way, does anyone know whatever happened to Yeu-Tsuoo Wang?

[Pamela Shriver]

Lindsay wins in her return to tennis.

[lexpretend]

~Drama~ in the unlikeliest places, specifically Hanescu/Brands. Hanescu serves for it at two sets and *5-3 up, misses four match points over that game and the eventual TB, didn't see the first half of the fourth but from *3-4 down basically melts down. "Injuries", complaints to the umpire about the crowd (he accused someone of saying something about the injuries?), a code violation for swearing at the crowd, tanking the *0-2 in the 5th game by deliberately foot faulting (standing on the baseline!), quits at 0-3.

Bepa was again the star of her mixed doubles match

BBC:

Four arrested after Hanescu incident

Four spectators have been arrested at Wimbledon after a confrontation with Romanian player Victor Hanescu.

TV pictures showed Hanescu spitting towards the fans after allegedly being subjected to verbal abuse during his match against German Daniel Brands.

The 28-year-old then walked off court when 3-0 down in the fifth set.

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said four men were being questioned under the Public Order Act after Hanescu complained to officers.

The spokeswoman said: "Police were called to Court 18 following a disturbance.

"Four youths were arrested. They have all been taken to a south London station under Section five of the Public Order Act."

Wimbledon referee Andrew Jarrett has also requested a recording of the incident to see if any further action will be taken against the player, who effectively quit the tournament by defaulting his match.

"Hanescu got involved in some shouting with spectators and TV pictures clearly show Hanescu spitting at supporters," said BBC 5 live tennis correspondent Jonathan Overend.

The match finished 6-7 6-7 7-6 6-3 3-0 when Hanescu retired but he had earlier squandered four match points and the world number 38's frustration was clear as Brands, ranked 98th in the world, clawed his way back into the match.
