I don't even care what happens but I just want to see a Gulbis fakervic match. Just to see how faker handles Ernie's ballbashing.

The Russian lady Karen is a much bigger ballbasher than Ernie.

I have not seen the match yet, but I was just looking at the stats - in the first set it says Mannarino won 5 points and had 1 break point. That means all 5 of his points were in 1 game - and he got skunked the rest of the set? Seriously? Ouch. Don't think I've ever seen a stat like that - not even for Roger...

Young American takes TB from Milos, nice effort from the kid.

Yup as expected, it will be faker vs glassikori. Gulbis is done.

He's a well-rounded pusher if there is such a thing. Change of pace, spins, depth. He is a chess player out there but that's the last complement I will pay him!
And also because he can keep the ball on court, which seemed to annoy Federer a little. The ball seems to sit in in the air a lot more, making for very long points. Seriously it is beginning to look like a slow hard court. I saw one point where Serena hit the ball wide, and Rodina was on the other side of the court and what surprised me there was that the Russian was able to reach the ball. It should have been a winner from Serena.

It's a garbage court for sure but Roger is doing alright. He's had to do it the hard way at Wimbledon his whole career. These Wimbledons would have next to no suspense if you put him on a real grass court.

Milos breaks Ronald.. too bad. Perseus is in a TB vs despicableness. It's over if he loses this.

You need 4 points to get a break point - 15, 30, deuce, ad. I realized my error after I posted it. In my defense - I am NOT a morning person...especially when it comes to math... Still...dude only won 1 other point the entire set? Hell. Give me a racket....and I've got a bad back...and am female and can't even get into the men's draw...

I think Botnic missing an easy volley is the ugliest sight in tennis.

Fuckin A Perseus. He needs divine intervention now, Jizzner is ruthless.
