Rain delay?

The women's doubles is not being shown on ESPN or ESPN2 or CBS.

I think folks have to just watch it on usopen.org only

That is very unfortunate it is not being shown on the major channels. More than likely then TSN in Canada will not show it as well.:nono

Well lucky we have TCC and it'll be replayed eventually; even if not live anywhere here in the STATES! :nono uzzled :angel:

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay Makarova/Vesnina I am rooting for you today

Davaii!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kskate2]

The final is starting right now live on TTC. If you don't have that try USOpen.org and you should be able to get a stream.

Hingis and Pennetta are on fire!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Makarova's serve has deserted her so far in this match,like yesterday against Serena

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Impressive first set to Hingis/Pennetta 62

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Both Makarova and Vesnina are missing their serves and return games,this isnt going to cut it against the team of Hingis and Pennetta

In a day when both men semis ended with upsets, why not here?

It may be a upset seeding wise. But, not an unexpected result in Women's doubles if
Hingis and Pennetta win

Which would you consider the upset? I think Hingis wins if her partner isn't totally inept! She's proved she can win with anyone! If there's ever a loss, I always look at the stats of her partner! Hingis' serve isn't the best obviously, but she makes up for it having one of the best tennis minds in the game! :angel:

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Russian team will serve for the 2nd set 5-3

Makarova/Vesnina Davai!!!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done to the Russian ladies taking the 2nd set 63

 

[GameSetAndMath]

They are not going away without a fight at least.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Technically Hingis/Vinci are underdogs here since they are not seeded, the Russians are world class, they were aiming for #1 all last year, they did achieve #2

I would love to see Martina win here and may be aim for singles.

Vesnina/Makarova took the second set 6-3
One more set will decide. Thanks heavens there is no super tie breaker in the final.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

^ Agree on the super tie breaker...Flavia was the weak link in that 2nd set
Makarova and Vesnina picked up their serves and return games

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Makarova OMG with that o/head smash?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I thought they use super tie breakers only in mixed doubles. Do they use in
early rounds of women;s (and men's) doubles also? I doubt it.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Thank goodness Vesnina held with good serves

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Russian ladies lead 2-1
