Keys looks a lot like Stevenson. I didn't want to say it. I'd like to forget her existence.

I fell asleep for a bit but woke up to see the resumption of Keys/Kerber, ie the amazing couple of games where she zoned, and then the choke when she got two points from the set.
Inexperience showed at the start and end of the match but I'm still on the bandwagon. The power is just so...huge. It's different to any other up-and-coming basher, it's so effortless. The BH is meant to be her weaker wing but it was what she was zoning off. She actually thinks about her shots too, doesn't just hit the same ones over and over - Kerber's sense of anticipation wasn't up to it a lot of the time.
I was supporting Kerber though, and I'm glad/relieved she pulled through.

You guys...Manti T'eo and stuff.
I'm tiring of Jie-Gorgeous and have now committed myself to the Srbijan shitfest.

I was thinking of going over to Jie since she seems to be winning. I'm on the verge of sleeping again and I figure I can hold out for the end of that but not this.
I want to talk about Manti Te'o but in the morning.

Keys looks a lot like Stevenson. Aack, don't say that! I don't think she does look like Alex, though I understand why people say so. Thank God no curtseying to the crowd! I like Keys, too. I think it was just too much too quickly for her tonight; her head hasn't quite caught up w/ her tennis yet. She'll get there.

All Србија match! Jankovic hit the worst drive volley ever. But she managed to hold. And is probably going to break here.

I like to think that Keys' visual resemblance to Stevenson is sending the latter into paroxysms of bitter fury. Maybe that's why she had to retire from the 10K this week.

Keys looks a lot like Stevenson. I totally agree. Thankfully she has refrained from saying anything mind-numbingly stupid yet. So Jay-Z served for the match at 5-4 and was easily broken. Now JuGs is up 6-5 in the decider. :facepalm:

BAG's defending well and her ball toss is under control. This match is so much cleaner than I expected. It might turn out to be a non-event.
Oh shit Jie.

The Manti Te'o story is the most interesting thing ever. But I won't bring it here. I'm riveted by it, and I don't even know anything about college football. I assume he was in on it, apparently this is not consensus. But I'm going to bed now, no Srbijan Sisters' Shitfest for me. Not staying up just to see BAG win.

The Manti Te'o story is the most interesting thing ever. But I won't bring it here. It's definitely very of its age. And we'll be seeing it a lot more now that most of us live our lives predominantly on the Internet. Well...Jay-Z had been playing like shit, and JuGs seemed NID in that section (I predicted her). Hopefully LeeNa will not stand for this crapfactory to move forward. Although, as I said on Twitter, JuGs has some nice-looking dudes in her camp.

Point for 5-4 now. JaJa getting frustrated by BAG's retrieving ability is not how I envisaged this.

One of the main takeaways I had from the Te'o story was that fact-checking in the mainstream media is dead (but when all the evidence and telltale signs were online, of course it took a web entity like Deadspin to unearth them by, er, basic google-stalking). The story itself, I feel like I've been witnessing variants on for a while now. Everyone's referring to Catfish, of course. On another message board I'm on, this exact scenario happened about 5 years ago. A couple of months ago, one of my friends tweeted this: www.52firstdates.com/2012/11/sebastian-pritchard-jones-strikes-back.html
