I'm really glad Jarka took a set -- the Mashatards at WTAW have been so obnoxious about her chances in this match (and tournament), that just knowing they're pissing themselves right now is a victory.
But not "victory enough" -- I want the W.

I hope Sharapova can pull out the win - she's one of the few points of interest for me in the women's event.

I wish she was Slovenian. Why? Oh, it's Balkan stuff. And I'm kidding - I want her to do well. But not better than our princesses. That would be unacceptable.

A colon would imply she didn't care about the others because she only cares about Jamie, I think.
I don't like Marias collar either, its unnecessary and makes it look like she works in a pharmacy.

These commentators are terrible. Not too long ago they spent a couple minutes discussing how Groth shouldn't get down on herself for not continuing to rip through the match. No, she should be celebrating for keeping up with Sharapova! Because obviously that's how you become good at stuff - you congratulate yourself for being almost good enough. Idiots.

Yeah, Rafa looks pretty solid in all-black. Good call, Nike. I apologize for earlier when I accused you of dressing him like a fratboy.
Taco Bell is so blandly delicious.

Many of the tards are acting like she has a free trip to the final. The hell? Even before the shoulder injury, Sweta and Bepa beat her numerous times. And Sunshine is not a good matchup, assuming she doesn't die of fatigue.

I watched the last few games of Bepa and caught Virginia Wade saying something like 'she has one of the best records for winning matches easily'. I *think* I understand what she meant.

Apparently Your Ginny also said that Lee Na is a "consistent" player who "doesn't give away many free points."
I think I don't understand what that means at all.

Ned Flanders sang this once on "The Simpsons," and I thought they were taking the piss. But then it turned out to be the actual lyrics. Which meant they were SUPER-taking the piss.

Andrea Petkovic, who is basically turning into the new Novotna. Finally stupid sexy Rafa decides to play some tennis. And it's still not really good enough at the moment.
