She's frumpy and overweight now.

Mrs Krumm only lost four points in her first set against O'Brien

Can I throw in a quick 'wtf is Venus wearing?' before we go any further.

[Paean]

Listening to the 2 ladies jabbering in the KDK match makes you think O'Brien is crushing KDK. They get super excited every time Katie manages not to embarrass herself during the point.

[lexpretend]

Uhhhhh WTF Venus? What even IS that?

[lexpretend]

Yay. Krumm is the first winner of Wim '11, and that's the first Wim win of her comeback. It'll be great for her to play Venus next.

[lexpretend]

I always forget how bad Amanmuradova is until I watch her play.

[Wagasi]

Bepa is killing Riske!

[janie]

Krumm and the awesome Parmentier the first 2 through!

[Old Hag]

Vee wearing that is an admission that she's getting fat.
Positive with this year's Bimbledon: 9 courts of TV coverage.

[Traveling Man]

Uhh...why is Bepa at 3-3 in the third against Riske?

[Old Hag]

Riske is a scary 1st round opponent on a fast surface. She hits big and isn't afraid to come to net. Of course, she's sucking now when it matters.

Donnster pouting against Bogomolov now, lololol.

[Paean]

The first time a Slowene reached the second round of Wimbledon. Baby steps, baby steps- in 200 years we're gonna have a Wimbledon titlist!

[lexpretend]

Riske played really, really well in that match once she settled down. Some amazing angled shots and net play. Not consistent enough, and Bepa served well though.

[lexpretend]

So much for our Kohlschreiber consensus

[Traveling Man]

Peer loses first round. Wasn't she on the verge of the Top 10 like every week this spring?

[lexpretend]

Santiago Giraldo in full-on bashing mode against Gasquet. One-sided match (though if Gasquet fails to serve out here...) but lots of entertaining points.

[Old Hag]

Wussquet, as usual, is maddening. Standing 50 feet behind the baseline, begging Giraldo to hit his laser shots in with any consistency.

[lexpretend]

Wussquet so lucky not to completely lose that 5-0 lead.

Sweta is 2-5 down to Zhang Shuai

At least once she was.

Please, WTA players, Just Say No to stupid tennis skirts with the hideous ruffle at the hem! Just for that I have to root extra against Makarova.

[Old Hag]

McHale is such a likeable player. And obviously a Justine fan with her "Allez C'mon"s after opponents' errors.

[lexpretend]

Fran breaks Dokic with a BH dropshot return

[janie]

This match was so good but after the break the Dokic game took a dive. I hope she doesn't just collapse now. And I found an excellent livestream, which was NOT ESPN3. I hope that continues for 2 weeks!

Lee Na, shouting after opponents' errors is rampant in the WTA. Most of the players do it.

[Brinyi]

Good for Wussquet! That was a potentially dangerous 1R, if Giraldo was having one of the 10% of his matches where his shots go in.

Donnster.

Krumm!

Go Little Ayumi and Franny, and good luck to KENNY D later today.

[lexpretend]

As I predicted, Killer Kaia's woes continue with a loss to Unforced Errani

[janie]

Dokic raised her game, up 3-0 in the 2nd.
