[janie]

Armstrong might be empty today.

Former champion Kuz on Court 17.

[R. Black]

Court 17 has a lot of seats.

[janie]

Yeah, I know it's a tv court, but it's not one of the Big Three. I know Kuz doesn't deserve to be on those, but still.

She better win today.

[Traveling Man]

Shitra followed by Woz to open Ashe. Haha.

[DBBN]

It was even worse before the rain last night, when it was Kvitova/Wozniacki/ISNER. At least with Federer there, the know-nothings who'll actually buy that ticket and sit there all day will be pleased.

[lexpretend]

Really excellent piece on Li Na that actually tells me a lot I didn't know about her first retirement and relationship with Carlos...

Yes, very good.

[lexpretend]

Terrible choice of matches of TV courts right now.

Agreed. Aside from Kvitty, nothing. Watching Kohlschreiber-Altamirano on the computer because shrug.

[lexpretend]

Watching Dulgheru because I've missed her but it's really bad and boring.

I have to travel across town at some point, should probably do that now so that I miss these matches and maybe catch some good ones later.

[janie]

Yes, now's the time to go! And thanks for the LeeNa link.

[janie]

Okay, Petra, good start. Now please don't back off.

Daniiilidou perfectly playing her role of sacrificial lamb as required by the playbook.

Do you get distracted by the endless Twitter feed on the bottom of the screen? This would be later on, on ESPN3. I had trouble keeping my eyes off it yesterday, but then yesterday my brain was extra mush.

[Paean]

What is an Altimirano? I' ve never heard of him.

[janie]

Me, neither.

The photo of Ivanovic on the USO site is frightening. She looks like a stick.

Now why would I say that?? You'd think I'd know better by now.

[DBBN]

Altamirano won the USTA 18s Nationals, who get a WC every year. (Vickery was the women's winner.) Usually we'd heard of them before that, because they've been doing OK in the Hidden World, so it's never really noticeable that it's a guaranteed WC. But Altamirano is unheralded and in fact won the event unseeded. He was actually halfway decent against Kohlschreiber.

They have it on the usopen.org streaming too. And...no, not really, but tickers have been a part of all sports for almost 20 years now. Just used to it, I guess.

[janie]

I actually posted about Altamirano's win of the 18s. But naturally, I have completely forgotten his name, all this time later. ;D Though maybe if it had been paired w/ his British-style first name, Collin, I'd have recognized it.

[janie]

I think it's time I checked out Miss Ying-Ying, or Yingying, depending on where you look.

I'm used to tuning out baseball scores, NBA scores & stats, etc. Not yet used to tuning out Roddick's and Clijsters' commentary.

[janie]

Duan breaks at love! This could start to get good.

[janie]

Sousa goes up 2 sets to 1 against the Dim one.

[janie]

Jerzy's off to an unimpressive start here, down 46 14. I wonder why?

In a tennis-watching mood today, but can't find a good match to watch. Suggestions welcome. Unlikely, since no one is here, but welcome!

[lexpretend]

LMAO I just got to the bf's house and tuned in just in time to see what I presume is Peak Giant Duan bossing Woz around

WTF is Janowicz doing...

[lexpretend]

LOL @ Grisha flopping, too.

[janie]

Yes! Duan has settled down and is pushing Woz around. Will she handle the pressure? Glad I came back to this match instead of assuming the 2nd set would be like the 1st ...

[lexpretend]

Duan serving for the set and controlling every point...

[janie]

My commentators (sounds like Ginny Wade & s.o. else) are very bullish on Duan. I think they were taken aback to find out she's already 24.

Ah! I missed the start of that game, tuned in to see error queen return.

But how is Woz going to hold?
