The first thing I saw when I tuned into the CAKE/La Razz match...a back-to-back double medical time-out for CAKE I had no idea that was allowed. Turn to Llodra! Announcers are so impressed w/ his level of play today. Remember when guys used to go to the net?

I didn't think it was allowed any more, I knew Pierce cheated Demented out of the 05 USO final by doing it.
Great defence from La Razz to break back in this set. What was it she injured this summer again?

Do we really think Venus will lose to Pironkova again? Not if Pironkova loses to MANDY MINELLA first. Tsveti is just...not very good. Thank God Bepa got her brain together in that Wimbledon SF; that would have been the most ridiculous Slam final appearance since the 1970's AOs.

So! Llodra dumps the 7th seed, playing "spectacular" tennis, so say the commentators. S&V every point, the guy is amazing. Llodra & Lucic are making the start of this tourney very fun for me!

Llodra still won. Yay. Looked like he sprained his ankle or something. I love his game.

I'm cheering for Simon, but there's something sad and poignant about watching Donald Young these days. If Twilight is overpowering you...
And he's at his HIGHEST ranking in years.

So, I missed Azza collapsing and CAKE losing and Muzza and BAG winning while I'd gone out for coffee with my friends. Hmmm...
Ali's travel updates: Going to Dubai and Tehran next week. Going to Turkey for 2 weeks the week after that. Going to Croatia end of the month. Allez!

Oh, USTA! Poor kid Jack Sock does NOT belong on a tv court. There are just 2 interviews from today on the USO site so far, and one of them is Dustin Brown (JAM). Can't wait to see him play, even though he probably goes down 16 16 26.
