Kerber is so dangerous when she's down and looks like she's given up and is melting down.

Kerber is so dangerous when she's down and looks like she's given up and is melting down. Except when she does melt down. I like Sara a lot, but no way does she trouble the top girls. Heck with this tournament. Except I want to see another bit of old-timey tennis: Vinci vs Aga.

Who would have bet at the start of 2012 that Errani would make THREE Slam QFs? And that only Sharapova, Kvitova and potentially Radwanska would match her in that?

I didn't understand any of that! A core class with a plank competition at the end, when the entire class has to form a plank position until they collapse. Because I am approximately 60% lighter than the rest of the class I can usually win not including the trainer. Anyway, Ashe matches today = lulz.

One thing I like about Errani is that I liked her name and started following her in her 25K days. Just like with Akgul, only Sara's been a little more successful -- so far.

Vinci is this year's Kerber, with Dallas title and USO run. So, we can expect her to reach the top 10 next year and have her Venus Slam.

Wow. I figured Vinci couldn't keep up that level, but apparently she did. Brava! Must be Sara who's inspiring the Italian journeywoman to her greatest heights at her advanced age. But I really expected her to choke.

Hey! I didn't notice that Murray-Wownic has been moved up to 7 PM! So great for me, but not sure janiehub will agree to more tennis dominating the living room on his last evening here, though he's been exposed to very little of it his whole week+ here until today. He just wasn't enthralled by Errani-Kerber. He doesn't get the SEWTA thing of playing badly as you get ahead.

I never tire of hearing that Mardy used to be fat. Do you think that the fat caused his heart problems?

Kerber is so dangerous when she's down and looks like she's given up and is melting down. That's true. She is the only current player I can think of who becomes MORE effective when she's in meltdown mode.

Don't look now but Superwoman & her sister are losing in doubles to the Russians. Of course by posting this I probably jinxed them and they won't win another game.

Rothenberg said Serena is out of sorts? Why, after 60 60 and a daisy-strewn path to the title? Anyway congrats to Nadya & Maria. I didn't think MK could serve it out but she did.

I'm actually stunned at the Errani result. She's been useless off of clay all year, save the BS run in Australia.
