Cirstea is so useless. I don't know why people have any expectations of her any more, or even why the ~teenage sensation~ hype began in the first place. 'Cause she's cute, and they're praying for anyone non-ugly to be good. God smiled, and went Serena-Francesca-Serena. Akgul will win the USO.

It's funny to see Sweta struggling against Krumm.
I mean, Krumm is really just pushing most of the time, especially on her forehand.

Jelena so lucky to get away with that set. If Halep gets control of her serve, she'll win. That would be sad, so I hope if Halep gets ahead, she'll women'stennis. Both of those nearly happened. Halep tried to screw up her service game at 3-0, 40-0 up, but pulled through. Jankovic so lacklustre now, even worse than in the first set.

Mirjana won a main draw match at a Slam! Hampton took set 2, now I'm wondering if those 2 are in one of those WTA heat breaks.

Oh, man. I love Kimiko, but if Kuz and JJ goes out, it's awful. Unless someone astonishing could take advantage, like Lucic, who plays JJ/Halep winner next, I think!

LOL. I switched over from that match, but I see Halep did a nice job of closing it out from *5-1 up Krumm just broke Sweta back in the third set with a lovely FH.

It's not that Sweta is playing poorly, Krumm is good! She has touch that few top players have. If only Kimiko had a serve. I do like how Sweta has altered her game since getting Mauresmo clan.

I like Krumm, but players like Kuznetsova should blow her off the court in 2 quick sets. She definitely lost the second set because she was playing poorly.

Rybarikova has had some decent results, but if Caravane wants to really be taken seriously, 1Rs at Slams against okaaaaaaaaay players are MUST-WINS. 7-6(5) 7-6(7) to Caravane....GUTS

Poor Halep. Completely out of gas in the last game - she can definitely improve her stamina - and she looked gutted.
But that means Lucic gets a shot at a woeful Jankovic! And on today's showing will probably take it.

And on today's showing will probably take it. Even the (USO livestream) commentators admitted that Halep "deserved to win". She probably just isn't used to playing in such heat.
But I'm glad to see JJ get through, even undeservedly, and this means maybe Lucic will be on a show court so I can see this one, which could be good.

Halep was huffing and puffing after long points even in the first set...her strokes may have been better than Jankovic's, but fitness was the deciding factor in that match; what use are those strokes if you're too winded to hit them properly? On the plus side, she should be a pretty good player once she improves that.

Halep fought, but she's seriously out of shape. She got gassed so easily, even early in the match.
I was also hoping for some insensitive comment from Old Hag about her flattened Simo_ona's, but only a quick mention about how big boobs helps your backhand. Hrmph.
