Moonballing in Sunshine's match is insane. And Chan uses them as well, but still looks like more aggressive player. Another winner for her.

That point that Monfils just broke Tipsy's serve on was I swear those two just start hitting drop shots and lobs and whatever mid-rally because they get bored otherwise, and have the concentration span of gnats

Wow, this Latisha/Pushniacki match is just... The ES commentators are HATING it. Basically saying both of them are Sunday morning park hackers.

Russian ES commentator doesn't dare to hate on it, cause he talked to Zvonareva and Safina and they said that Caroline deserves to be ranked that high. The main reason that we can see that she's trying to play more aggressive now, you see. Not just push everything back.
So yeah, he can't hate after such a glowing recommendation.
Why ES won't show Monfils match? I don't want to watch the match on stream, when 2 channels are actually covering US Open right now. I'm not even sure which match is worse.

Virginia Wade made a comment about whether Woz or Sharapova would be more agressive, and the American cocommentator goes, 'oh, Sharapova, DEFINITELY!'...Yanks really don't do irony.

Their coverage has been pretty crappy. Having two channels does not seem to make a difference since ES2 usually sticks to a horrendous match that drags on for hours, while other potentially interesting matches being played at the same time are ignored. The Serbian commentator on ES2 had a really funny outburst live on air about it a few days ago. "As soon as a match gets interesting it immediately goes to ES1. We're stuck with low quality, boring tennis on ES2 ALL DAY LONG. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE."

Russian commentator comment on scores changing on other courts even during points. The other day he gave us point by point what was going on in Dementieva-Hantuchova match while the other match was going on. He didn't care because the Russian wasn't playing it. What was more ridiculous is that the other ES was showing it live, so it was completely pointless as usual. They're sitting in the same studio in Moscow, can't they just check what's going on on the other TV screen?

Patty should have closed it out in the tiebreaker, being up 2-0, then 4-2 and even having matchpoint but playing passively and waiting for the error. Still, she's crazy so whatever.
Petkorazzi and Schiavone are my last faint hopes for some fun in the draw.

The commentator is dissing Justine. I'm boycotting him and switching to the British commentary. Some really fun rallies in Zvonareva vs Dulgheru match. Unfortunately Alexandra can't quite keep up, I'd sorta like it if it went to three sets.
