[GameSetAndMath]

This scheduling is height of Jingoism. They have put Kristina on Philippe, just because she is from France. She is not even a seeded player. Typically when you put a French player on Philippe, they should at least follow the basic rule that either the French player should be seeded and if not, then the opponent should be a seeded player. Here neither is the case. Her opponent Donka is more unknown than Kristina herself. There are plenty of other choices they could have made. :nono

 

[kskate2]

What's really ridiculous is that Sveta is playing Franny. Both are former FO champs and they got pushed to Court 1.

 

[Kirijax]

Kvitova dancing with disaster again. Lost first set tiebreak. Tied 4-all in second but then Petra breaks and serves out the set. Into a third.

 

[tented]

Julia Goerges (GER) def. Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) [5] -- 6-4, 7-6(4)

That's very disappointing. I had much higher expectations for her than the second round. Hoergren will not be happy either.

 

[Kirijax]

Petra leads 4-2 in the third set now. Can't relax yet...

 

[kskate2]

P3tra comes through finally, Caro gets bounced and Serena is down in the first set to a virtual nobody 3-5

 

[britbox]

Friedsam breaks Serena and will serve for the first set at 6-5

 

[britbox]

3 set points for Friedsam... Anyone heard of her before today?

 

[britbox]

1st set Friedsam.

 

[Kirijax]

1st set Friedsam.

I keep wanting to say Friedeggsandham.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Serena better get it together if she doesn't want another embarrassing headline yet again at the French.

 

[britbox]

Big hold from Serena... saving break points and all.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Also, the directors should be punched in the face for not putting Kuzzy and Franny on center court.

 

[britbox]

Kuz breaks Schiavone to serve for the match (for the fourth time!)

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Serena better do everything in her power to get a grip on this match.

 

[britbox]

Also, the directors should be punched in the face for not putting Kuzzy and Franny on center court.

Instead of Nadal? Really?

 

[kskate2]

Venus and Caro both got bounced, maybe she just wants to go hang out on the beach and crash weddings again? :snicker

 

[kskate2]

Also, the directors should be punched in the face for not putting Kuzzy and Franny on center court.

Instead of Nadal? Really?

I think he meant instead of the other women's matches on Chatrier today.

 

[britbox]

Kutz gets broken again... Can any of these woman hold their fricken serve?
