What an expected first set in Nadezhda's match. Takes it to a tiebreak. 3 SP's, loses the match.

So happy for Care Bear! She must have been pretty excited to win that. I do like Venus but she has enough gold medals already and will probably take home another one here anyway in dubs.

I'm loving this tournament much more than I thought I would. The players are really into it, and no shenanigans like in some of the other sports. We've done well by being tennis fans.

I definitely agree that this is the first year where the people who say that the Olympics are as important as a Slam might have a point. Errbody wants this shit.

That sucks. It's hard to find the non-CC courts on the stream sites.

Thanks, but it didn't work. I think like Wagasi said, it doesn't work for non-Deutschlanders. Thanks though.

Oh god, if this turns into another FIGHTERRRR!11 match...
edit: and it looks like it has.
In other news, the Wozpocalypse seems to be picking up steam.

It's the first year that this has arguably been the case. Maybe 2008, actually. I wouldn't go that far but I'd say that tennis has come of age in the Olympics now. Wish I could have seen Care Bear/Vee, sounded good. Care Bear has a definite shot at Azza next. Bottom half: Shitra versus Ma$ha, St Kim and Discount Ma¢ha. Oh god. Horror awaits, worst tournament ever, etc etc etc.

You have to go back to Sampras and Agassi both not playing in 2000 and Sampras skipping it in 1996 for examples of poorer fields. I really wish Woz would beat Serena again but ... no. It's not going to happen here. Clijsters-Sharapova ... Maria should really win there ... but ... argh ... I just don't know what'll happen. I think it might be time for everyone to accept that Kirilenko has improved? But Petra is still going to beat her. And then lose 10-12 in the third to Maria.

God, this QF line-up really is hideous, isn't it. FIVE players I can't stand and that's not even including Serena. Gold Petra, silver Angie, bronze Serena is the only way I'll be able to derive satisfaction from this tournament.

LOL 31-minute bagel concluding with a Wozniacki DF Keep it up, Serena! And then the same in the next round please. And then lose to Petra.

Double bagel would just be super.
Can someone add Shitra's loss to Kirilenko to the homepage ticker when it happens? Thanks.

Shitra can't even take advantage of easy draws now, sigh.
Now the best hope is Serena killing everyone. Joy.
