[Denise49IQ]

Am I being completely retarded but where is Federer? Did he get a W/O?

[lexpretend]

He played Donald Young on Monday, so...yes, essentially.

[Brinyi]

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooo

K.Flipkens!
Ste-Kim!
LDL!
Fit Dave!
NaNa!
Dave Stebe!
Boredo!
B.Paire!
KrisPlis!
Wussquet!
JieJie!
T.Kamke of course!
Chatschreiber!
SIMooNA!
A-Rod (AUS)!
E.Gulbis!
Del Potro!

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Brinyi]

Apparently the Del Potro opponent was T.B.D. because Serra had to be on the grounds at 10:30 this morning in order to claim his LL berth, as per a J.Wertheim tweet. Sadly, he didn't get stuck in traffic.

[lexpretend]

Watching this Burdette for the first time (feel like I should send her a thank-you note or something for the money she's earned me this summer). She's really good, teeing off on everything, albeit Hradecka is playing very poorly. Is she really going to go back to college though? She'll be top 200 after just five tournaments.

[lexpretend]

Burdette just hit an amazing BH DTL winner while rocked back on her heels to win a long deuce game on serve. She's coming up with the goods on BPs impressively. She reminds me a bit of Kleybanova.

[lexpretend]

Really didn't expect Nadezhda to beat Simo_ona so easily - 1 and 1 Halep beat her in Madrid this year...

[Traveling Man]

Burdette two points from the win, Jay Z cruising, Azza wins, and Wozniak turning it around against Safarova.

We're getting another Youzhny run this year, aren't we?

[lexpretend]

Wow, also surprised that Zheng beat Magda so easily!

Burdette through and you have to wonder what she can do to Ma$ha: she's a very different proposition to the other young Americans Sharapova traditionally draws in the USO 3R.

Such as Oudin in '09?

I meant game-wise. A repeat of that result could well happen.

[lexpretend]

Paire vs Dimitrov not on a TV court

[lexpretend]

Two SRB seeds two sets down but a break up in the third: Tipsy against Rufin and Troicka against Stebe, who I know little about but who I keep mistyping as Steve.

[Brinyi]

Serbians launching 2-sets-down comebacks , now up a break in the third. That would be Snotso vs Rufin, and Troicki vs Stebe.

[Brinyi]

I really did not see your post before typing mine, Lex!

[lexpretend]

This is not the first time the Cult has been an echo chamber

Rufin seems to be a big tall basher who's currently gone off the boil, and Tipsy is knuckling down for the long haul. I might go and do something else in protest at being denied Paire/Dimitrov.

I agree with the upset possibility, hence the

[Brinyi]

USian TV just interviewed Burdette and she looks a tad chunky (hence the Kleybanova reference I guess).

[lexpretend]

Shitra alert

[lexpretend]

Nieminen of all people halfway to a triple bagel over Kukushkin

Kushkush robbed Jakke of his moment by winning a couple of games and then retiring.

Snotso did the job and Troicki did not.

Paire def. Dimitrov in 4

KrisPlis got the kiss-off.

Parmentier def. Wichmayer. Is Pauline the girl who is the noted junk-baller?

I guess not! Evil Gilles Muller did the "coming back from two sets down" thing to win 2-6, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6(6), 7-6(6). And he's not even a Serb.

[lexpretend]

Nah, Parmentier has a really boring, generic baseline game. But she is obviously in my good books anyway for this.

Haas/Gulbis is weird. Gulbis...FOUGHT? and TRIED HARD? and played SUPER CLUTCH in the 4th set, saving about 4-5 BPs with clean winners in three straight service games? and then at 5-5 hit 2 aces, 2 service winners, a drop volley winner and a drop shot winner and then proceeded to take us into a fifth? I am rubbing my eyes in disbelief. Gulbis! Mental strength!

[Edna Krabappel]

Robson /

[lexpretend]

Robson was 2-5 down against St Kim but saved 3 SPs with big serves in a 10-minute game at 5-6 and then won the TB courtesy of some absolutely beast returns. C'MON.

[lexpretend]

0-40 for Gulbis on Haas' serve...I think Haas has been cramping or injured while we were watching Robson?

Oh no! My guy Haas lost.

[Edna Krabappel]

Fantastic hitting by Robson now. Totally unfazed by wasted BPs in the previous game.
