Brin Yi, I support ye.
Twin Porn? Apparently such thing really does exist. Damn me and my curiosity.

There are lots of twin male models roaming around, and inevitably they end up doing shots where they touch each other's junk. This was exhaustively researched by me during my teenage years.

I'm going to ignore the last few posts although I think they have forever scarred my mind anyway.
I also am supporting Brin Yi. A Murray-Novak or Novak-Ferrer final seems boring to me.
Call it paranoia, though, but I think 13-7 seems more likely than 14-6. Roger is batting about .700 against Novak lifetime but the pattern seems to indicate it might tip back to Novak.
Of course, all the above is nonsense of the calibre of astrology. Right?

Murray/Djokovic seems like easily the best final option. I guess it's what I want, too. I am not sure how feasible tonight's matches are  I haven't been able to go nocturnal this fortnight, really. |

Go Eric Butter, Na Li, Bepa, Esther Vergeer Superwoman, and Eugenie Bouchard. Normally I'd always root for Fed over Nole, but Nole was the amazing hero in that fantastic DC final, and Fed is a huge DC wimp, which suddenly today irks me, so Go Nole the DC Hero of the People, this time. Who beat Llodra in men's doubles? |

I disagree, Novak Murray looks like a more interesting match to me
But then, I don't like Novak and I "like as in acknowledge his greatness" Fed
I want Kim to win because she is the only real top player remaining
And I want Na Li to kill Woz

It's for Netherlands Antilles. I don't know why they have a specific abbreviation since it's part of Holland, though.

I don't want to shock anyone, but Vergeer has reached the final.

For her sake? Yes. But I'd rather she didn't.

Oh god, if Sunshine insists on making the final she better make sure she wins it! She'll nicely ask Kimmie to make 100 errors so she can win. They're both so nice, neither should want to win. |

Hmm. Li suddenly started finding the court with her winners. Wozza had matchpoint at 5-4 40-30 but Li played three good shots. Not a choke, although I'm sure it'll be written up that way if she loses.
I think Wozniacki may be tiring. But ... she might get the momentum right back. Li now down 0-30 to open the third set.

Li back to 40-30 with winners and then makes a dumb error after having a decent chance to put away a smash at the net. Deuce. Huge crosscourt backhand from Li forces the error. She will win this match if she continues to play like this. The difference between what works and what doesn't is surprisingly that Li is playing slightly less aggressive and is working points more. It's forcing Wozniacki to play long, long points and mostly she is not winning them. 1-0 Li. If Li can avoid the temptation to go for first-strike winners I think she wins this.

she has to grind wozniacki, make her run around the court left and right, not go for the winner

From 40-15 to deuce at 1-1 here. Li just hit the bottom of the net with a backhand after a ferocious rally.
The women's semi session appears to be somewhat less than sold out.
Another long rally and Li errs wide on a forehand. Suddenly rallying with Caroline isn't working. Suddenly Li looks tired.
Another forehand error from Li. 2-1 Wozza.

And of course Li breaks back at love. You might think that had something to do with Caroline's play but it really didn't. This match is on Li's racket.
