Go Kvitty! Even though I am now a Nina B fan! Go Pong! One day to world-wide fame! Be the Next Li Na! Go Julien! I rooted for you against Moya in Toronto 10 years ago! Time to step up! Go Haas! Make him run till he pukes! Go Santiago! Don't fall for the limping; make him run till he breaks, if he's so crippled! #evilgeezer Allez Paulo. Just live through the match; that will be enough. #florencenightingale Go Franny! Because you're Franny, RG champion! Go Klara. Why not just win this; what's so great about a 22 seed? Go Carla. We like you and wish you would win once in a while.

Walk in the park for Ferrer so far. I refuse to watch the Kvitty match till she straightens herself out; why start the day fuming, I say.

I know. If she could meet anyone in the world, she'd rather meet Aleksandr Pushkin than Brad Pitt or Eminem. Wish I hadn't read that "Getting to Know" piece so I could root for Kvitty without complications.

Well, Petra saved the two SPs in style, at least.

I'm hoping/expecting we see the SEWTA playbook and Nina collapses thinking about those missed setpoints (not that she could've done anything with the way Kvitova saved them).

The ONLY saving grace is that she won 3 of the last 4 games so she might be improving.
OR she might cry and suck 4-eva and fall out of the Top Ten after Wimbledon.

Wish I hadn't read that "Getting to Know" piece so I could root for Kvitty without complications. That's refreshing to hear, ha. Earlier in the match she picked up a bug with her bare hands(mind that most of the players would just smack it with the racket) and carried it to those plants by the court. Nina! Win the third! ;D

In her previous matches here, Bratchikova lost the first set and bounced back winning the next 2. Of course she played Niculescu and Feuerstein.

These people aren't getting better; everyone is leaving and no good young players are coming in to keep these crap factories down at their rightful levels. Having said that, this is the first time I've seen Bratchikova, and she's OK. Harmless, but OK. As acceptable at 80-99 as outside the Top 100 (based on like 5 games).

This is good tennis, though. I like that Kvitova has to pay attention now even when she's not in Sh!t mode.

I just woke up, I just can't with Petra. And I can't root for Brat, cause she's Russian and Russian preview for this match already consisted of "Off course Brat can beat her, she's shit, what Wimbledon?" And all the bugs should be killed anyway So plz win it, Petra!
