Bencic has not been playing well since Cincy 15...

It's hard to live up to that expectation. Everyone thought she would roll in the USO and she flamed out pretty bad to Venus.

Now is truth or dare time for Belinda Blinkic again. If she blinks now match is over.

We have the same situation as in 1st set. Belinda needs to hold to send it to TB.

Will she blink or do it.

But, Maria's record in Tbs is not good. So, if Belinda holds, I expect her to win this set.

Well, hopefully we don't have long to wait till the screaming stops. On that note, when is this new hindrance rule about grunting coming in? That muppet is a total disgrace and should be put down.

My word, ESPN is so annoying. They just talk talk talk. All the time.

I just mute those ...Chrissy sounds very boring and just cant listen to her ignorance.I prefer Bartoli or that girl with a russian accent...their commentary is very balanced.ESPN comes off as biased against certain players and the professionalism is very low....they are quick to give Serena unsolicitated advice on air as if Williams needs their help..

They keep bringing up the last 2 matches where Maria served 21 aces and 16 respectively. What they fail to mention is the roof was closed both times. That's the only way she can have those kind of numbers. It'll be interesting to see when they schedule this QF, it could end up being a night match on Tues.

is anyone noticing the subtle help that pova is getting from the organizers...she has been playing her last matches under a closed roof...Serena plays under the blazing sun...today they closed the roof for her and opened for Serena...and then her coaches were scouting during Serena s match..
I loved the way Serena said that she has nothing to lose against pova....thats telling y all:snicker
19-2 sorry pova

I think Serena balked out of playing with Jack Sock because of his pova connections...
