Yes, how dare a woman behave aggressively in an sporting context; let us all judge her for her sub-supermodel appearance.

Franny was beaten by the ghost of Kuzzie today. Woz had nothing that could hurt her.

Schiavonie is so frustrating to watch but not as frustrating as Bartoli. Her serve is frustrating, the way she moves is frustrating, everything about her is frustrating. She hits the ball with both hands on the forehand & backhand side.

I was quite impressed with Wozniacki's movement. Usually the female tennis players don't get as many drop shots back as she does.

It'll be an interesting match between Wozniacki & Li Na.

Monsieur Stan is out. :(

Djokovic deserves to win this one I think... but I doubt he'll actually get past Federer.

Yeah, I like Djokovic more than Federer, and depsite Djokovic having beaten Federer a couple of times here and there, and despite Djokovic's immense skill on the hard court, Federer is just MAGIC.

Hopefully Dolgopolov wins... Good win for Clijsters btw, Radwanska put up a good fight in the second set though

I want Clijsters to definitely win the women's Open, but for the men's I'm sorta torn. I think I would like Djokovic to win the mens, however I believe that Federer is going to smash him.

Ferrer had a huge lead just before and threw most of it away.

Oh, and Nadal has a wedgie, again.

Nadal has a hamstring injury. :/
He always has a wedgie. I don't think I've seen one match where he wasn't touched his bum.

Is Nadal losing? I hope he is!
Lost in straight sets :-(

I wasn't really rooting for him to take out the tournament. But to miss out on his own "Serena-Slam" because of an injury must be heartbreaking.

Kind of thinking Djokovic will take out Federer, and then beat Murray in the final. But who knows.

YES! NADAL LOSES. THAT'S RIGHT.

Thinks he's so good. Nice to see him taken down a notch or two... or two-hundred.


I hope Federer wins. The name... the name is synonymous with success and win. So I'll be cheering for Federer.
