But let's skip it this time.

I would guess they will?

I doubt it. They're already paid some "star" way too much money to butcher the national anthem.

They should have whoever it is sing on a damp court with those go-carts drying it then, haha.

Fed has spent 9 hours and 38 minutes to win six matches. So, it takes approximately, 1.5 hours for him to win a match. So, even if the match starts at 7.30, Fed will finish it off by 9 p.m. :)

I can't watch the national anthem any more. It's just too awful. Nine out of 10 times they just destroy it. Nobody can ever top Whitney Houston's version ever anyway. I just listen to that.

Let me entertain you guys with a funny story that I heard tomorrow. Apparently, Yarislov Shevdova a women's doubles finalist today did not anticipate that she will be reaching the finals (despite being seeded #4). So, she had arranged for her wedding for yesterday. Once she won the semifinals, she had to postpone the wedding. :lolz:

OK, then what happens. She loses the finals today. She flies on Monday and is having her wedding on Tuesday and then takes another flight on Wednesday to her next tourney. This is what is called dedication to profession, folks :clap

That's rediculous. Who did she get married to?

They say Fed is 1-6 when playing against #1 players. Can somebody list all of them?

The cincy win of last week must be the 1. The two losses to Novak at Wimby must be 2 in the loss column. What are the other 4 losses to #1. Should be to Nadal few times.

I think it is 1-6 at majors alone not overall. For instance Roger beat Rafa at 2009 Madrid and 2010 YEC. Also there are a few wins vs Nole in there too. The one win over #1 at a slam is against Djokovic at 2012 Wimbledon

2011 USO vs. Novak is another loss.
