That's Sam Smith, Eurosport commentator, bizarrely festooned in Nadal's old capri pants. And Anne Hobbs, who I've never heard of, but she is 50 years old. The one game they've won so far was...a break of the Pornikova serve Oh wait, Hobbs just held serve

Lol, is that Sam Smith who retired like 15 years ago. Yeah, these draws are legit. Sam Smith and" Anne Hobbs (born 21 August 1959 in Nottingham)"

Hobbs is a fat dyke. Anna's age is showing... but, she's trying to hide it with tons of makeup. For a tennis match. Oh man, such comedic value here. Why not dig up Nancy Loeffler-Caro for an easy A-Porn win.

Pornikova serving for the set. Man, today has been a total riot. I went out to lunch, came back to @ Kim and Venus, went to the pub and arrived back to this.

Oh, at least this isn't an actual doubles' match like I thought it was. But, still. Couldn't they have thrown the Spice Girls against the geezers like Jana and Conchi.

Oh man... just, really, really embarrassing. Hingis has the equivalent of a bug serve in this match.

Q. This is a player who has now beaten you twice. What is about her and her game that does give you difficulty? VENUS WILLIAMS: I mean, I don't even really remember anything from last time. I think, you know, one of her biggest strengths is she's pretty quick around the court.

I need to stop watching Pornikova. I so wanted to be like her, and the memories of her wasted talent are coming back.

Novotna's in great shape! Conchi and Nat looking dumpy. But the only one who's playing pretty well right now is, of course, the ageless Old Hag.

TennisReporters After talking over and around Hingis (who was bit stunned) for 20 minutes, Kournikova literally had to be dragged out of press conference. 2 minutes ago via web

It was like being button-holed by a drunken grandmother." LOL, she's still such a piece of work. Come back, Hingis, but leave your clown-partner behind.

Don't get too excited, guys. No one is beating Serena. Fact. Still, today was awesome. Too bad I was at work for all of it. The wrong Williams lost. Roar.

I think, you know, one of her biggest strengths is she's pretty quick around the court. Venus is okay. This is why she should have won, and Serena should have lost. Sad roar. lulz at everything Hingis-Kournikova in this thread.
