Keys is 4*-3 up with some aggressive returning. I'd think the crowd support would be louder for her.
Crazy forehand error gives the break back to Lucie.
4-4

It's kinda funny when Lucie is the one who's playing conservative (almost defensive) tennis.

Well...Keys just completely disappeared after going up *4-3. Weird; she'd fought well til that point. Lucie didn't even have to try at the end.

Bepa survives in unimpressive fashion over K-Bond. Didn't see any of this, but yes, her W-UE stats look bad. But she won 22 points (of 28 attempts) at the net? That's a huge amount of forays for women's tennis. Unless K-Bond was dragging her up there with dropshots. Maybe I'll have to watch Bepita's next match and see if this was a fluke or is a new game plan.

Pung looks not broken vs. Wimbly GOAT Pironkova. She has the perfect consistent flat game to beat non-top 20 players and for types like Martha to wipe the floor with her.

I didn't even know 2 Irish players existed! You don't read my posts That's weird! I read and absorbed the Soda King part of the post but somehow blanked out on the 2nd part. I think I must have been blinded by worry over what kept Soda King out, which I still don't know, though I've fully recovered from the worry, which must have been pretty shallow. Anyway, don't knock the IRLs just because you hated your time there. I am part Irish, and we're not all drunks -- and more importantly, I have a small crush on Conor.

Plus me discussing the two IRLs qualifying for the last five or so days. Anyway, don't knock the IRLs just because you hated your time there. I am part Irish, and we're not all drunks -- and more importantly, I have a small crush on Conor. I love Ireland and my Irish friends. I just don't like living in non-America with non-money.

So, Steve Johnson is the NCAA champ and leads rampant Bogomolov Jr. 6-4 6-4. Is Mr. Harkleroad choking because he sees that his next opponent would be Rogerio Dutra da Silva (LL)?
Dutra da Silva/Johnson for the 3R will be hilarious.

Statement from Nina Wennerstrom, Robin Soderling’s agent, on his withdrawal from the 2011 US Open: ”He is feeling really bad. His stomach was hurting. He experienced head pain, and the doctor recommended to him not to play. They don´t know what kind of virus it is, but the doctor thinks it can be something related to the throat problems he had a couple of weeks ago, which made him have to withdraw from the Masters tournament in Cincinnati. ”He started feeling ill last night and still was hoping to play his match, but basically he was feeling too bad to play a five-set match in a Grand Slam tournament. He will try to get back home as soon as possible for further examinations.”

McHale has a pretty good game once the rally gets going. Quite adept at changing the direction of the ball.

CAKE just got a point penalty on McHale's serve at DOOSE for "hindrance" for shouting "COME ON" after hitting a shot, which McHale chased down and put back in play. McHale converted for 2-0 and now CAKE is dying.
