Anyway I did not end up watching after all. I guess like most of the world, I don't care about doubles very much, though I'm rooting for Sara and Roby to get the .

It's the blonde wearing pink. I mean Hradecka, I think she volleys double handed too. Ginny Wade can't sell this match enough. "Some scintillating tennis on display," "what a fabulous match," "it should have been on Arthur Ashe court but it's good that the crowd have moved here for it."

Nice stuff by le ragazze, one game away.
LOL at Errani's grunts on the volleys. That's approaching hindrance territory.

Just zoned in and out but saw matchpoint. LOL at the celebration and Vinci's running her hand across herself and clapping thrice or whatever that was!

Now you've got me wanting to see this "dance". Pretty soon the post-match celebrations in tennis will approach Bollywood territory. Think how mad M$sha will get when she loses and her opponent does a long, intricate dance!

So does the final really start at 4:30 or is there some fancy half-hour ceremony first?

Pre-match interviews! I guess it's starting! Can't believe I'm going to actually watch Serena! I wonder if I'll stick it out.

Remember when players used to come out for the coin toss and just stand there quietly? Now everyone has to Nadal it out there. Sorry but it looks so silly. haha:

Who are you guys rooting for? Double DQs for making the umpire fall out of her chair with bleeding ears and for impaling a linesperson with a racquet. I'm tired of women's tennis being a choice between Scylla and Charybdis. I will get more lulz out of an Azza victory nevertheless.

Yeah, I don't really know who I'll root for. Sometimes I only find out as the match progresses. Sometimes I even switch sides mid-match if the player I'm for starts bugging me.
