I'm sure I've mentioned it before - Mladenovic is easily the most impressive youngster(is she still?) I've seen in the last years. And is an absolute joy to watch in doubles. No young player today is so comfortable around the net - quick hands and great control on volleys.

Another thing I've noticed while watching mixed doubles. Those male doubles specialists are awful returners. Poor Marosi was killing herself, hitting winners off Zheng's first serves only for that Brunstrom guy to hit second serve returns in the net or in the back fence. I and Viriginia Wade felt sorry for her.

2008 Andy would have won this too. I feel like he kept trying and finally got the right draw to win. I do agree with this. In fact I did think that if Andy R. had this draw in, say, 2008, he would have maybe won one. But maybe not, and you can't really compare it anyway.

I tried to get Kiki to be my new fave, but she's a lil' too much like Lisicki both mentally and stupid error-ry for my taste.

Nestor was going to retire like, 5 years ago. I see that he hasn't.

Were you really banned just to post RAYCIST? No. Ryan told me I'm a terrible person for something I did a decade ago.

Ali, I apologize for disagreeing with your dumb friend on your facebook wall. She was being dumb and I thought that she needed to be told. Then I remembered that I'm 31 and now I'm going to go do other things. No need to apologise. You saved me from having to write a response and your replies made me chuckle. And now you guys see what I have to deal with IRL re:tennis.

Yay for Muzza! I'm thrilled although I don't think he'll defend the US Open. But still this is great - got the one he wanted the most. Also regarding Nole playing poorly it's only fair considering some of the piss poor GS finals Anduh played against him. I'm thinking of AO 2011.
