and, as predicted? "Tomato Can"Rosol loses in the very next round. I'm with you Serin, Let's have a new guy winning it! GO MURRAY!!! VAMOS FERRER!! Serena STILL in it. (I think she and Venus are still in the doubles as well?) She needs to pick it up. Although every time her back was against the wall yesterday? She served to love!!! GO SERENA!! Get those groundies going!!!

Ummmm, go . . . Brian Baker? Sorry Archie.. Your man 's gone in straight sets vs Kohlschreiber.. How about Ferrer ? That would be so great.. Off with Fed and Djok.. Rafa had his 4 wisdom teeth pulled off and is having injection treatment on his knee .. Poor thing, he posted the teeth news at his FB and a picture in his swimming pool at Porto Cristo. ..

Serenaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Well done girl. (I'm not sure if she can get by the howling banshee, but she's done herself proud.)

Serin, it's a good thing he's not a singer? LOL
Seriously, That's pretty painful AND you can't chew anything. Poor baby.

Oh AND, what's up with those turkeys' at the AEC? They HAVE the roof but suspend play at 8pm because of security problems? That's pretty LAME. IMHO.. also, they KNeW that there was heavy rain in the weather forecast for Monday and Tuesday, but STILL insisted on having that middle Sunday with no scheduled play. What will it take to get them to use some common sense and let go of their darned "tradition"? They could be ON schedule right now. Maddening.

If only Serena would shed a few kilos.. Yes Imelda, Roger said that and some more, "It's a pity.". I guess that s the end of a nice friendship.. They wont play anything on Sundays - Puritan tradition !! -------------------------- Sharapova out too. Azarenka squeaks her way to the semis. Sorry for Clijsters. She is a great Rafa fan and she stood by him when he lost to the idiot Rosol.. She disapproved of Rosol's attitude on the court. Rafa said he loves her..

Poor Andy Murray... the British press has gone bezerk! I am watching the BBC breakfast news..he's on EVERY front page of EVERY newspaper. I hope Lendl has him under wraps? Just IMAGINE what will happen if he WINS? Maybe he will be KNIGHTED at the trophy presentation? ;D

Hi Imelda.. Serena was awesome.. I hope you have seen her semifinal vs Azarenka too ..24 aces - poor Azarenka's racquet couldnt touch the ball in the first set !!..lol. I was surprised Serena gave a set to Radwans. in the final. Radw. was supposed to have breathing problems . But she retuned in the second set and took the match to the third set.. Congratulations to Serena and Venus too for their doubles win. Serena is No. 4 now, Azarenka is back to Number 1, Sharapova no. 2. You know Sharapova will marry in Istanbul sooon with her boyfriend who plays for EFES (basketball).. *********************** I hope Andy wins today. But its a hopeless case. I was thinking the same. The pressure must be killing him.. I was inLondon when Tim Henman was trying to reach the semis (I think), I remember that the press had gone berserk ; Tim and his wife were greeting the journalists and fans like royalty..I couldnt help laughing. But I do wish Andy wins today, I wont be able to bear that one as Number 1.. I can even accept Djok but not the " excellency"

With Nadal being the fifth seed, I hope he meets Murray in the Quarters.
And crushes him.
Take that Britain!

Not the result we were all hoping for. He just seemed out of sorts..like he didn't want to be there. (And I SWEAR I saw him limping in that second set?) I hope he's alright. (AND, that we don't have to hear about this ALL YEAR long until NEXT Wimby. Wishful thinking I know. )
