Way too many bagel sets (judging by the results so far) on the women's side. Who watches this slugfest.

I do Emma. The bagels won't last. :nono

Emma you can check out live streams for the matches at the open.

some of them are quite good.

I wasn't interested in Nole's match at all. I had no reason to waste my time on a very one-sided match. But yes, I could have but I was busy with my HD box trying to figure out what had gone wrong. Spent two hours on it without any results however. lolz.

Good for you! I can't bare the thought of watching a match that's going the most obvious way and most of them are. The men's earlier rounds on the other hand are the most competitive ones.

Emma,
It's not all the women. Let's be fair about this. Some men's early matches are absolute drubbings. For instance that Novak/Berankis match last night looked like an exho. Isner, Monfils and Young all bageled their opponent in the first round.

There are exceptions on the men's side, like that one for instance - Nole vs Berankis but look how many youngsters are already gone including a few top 20 players like Nishi, Janowicz, Almagro etc. And these should be considered as upsets.

It is some vs many. While many women's matches are boring and one sided, only some of the men's matches are boring and one sided. In my fair opinion, it's totally okay to have a few dominating matches but to have a lot is another matter.

Also, how many men really watch women's match for the good reason there is? This is, of course, a separate matter but it comes into play as to who's really watching and why.

I mean the amount of criticism Bartoli received after winning Wimbledon reassured me that most men are still all about boobs and butts when it comes to women. There's a reason why a drama queen like Ana Ivanovic gets so much attention while Bartoli gets negative attention. Even if Ana, say, loses 0 and 0, a lot of men would watch as if there's no tomorrow.

Aloha everyone.
Hi :D read about your trip:cool: won any drinking contests? :p

One of my Croatian friends didn't want to have a drinking contest with me because he was afraid (and knew he had to drive me back to my place afterwards). :laydownlaughing Maybe next time.



Hey CD!!! Long time no see indeed. I'm too lazy to read back in the thread. Whenever I start, something comes up and I close the browser window again.

I'm still coughing, got back from the doctor. The cough seems to be allergic but looks like I have another tonsilitis. :( I'm really considering having my tonsils taken out although they say there can be a lot of complications during and after the surgery.
Croatia is a fun place, i spent some weeks there almost every summer as a teenager, mostly in Rabac, it has rocky beach but it's cool cause the water stays clear even in bad weather, at least compared to sandy beaches :D

Imo keep your tonsils even if they cause some trouble from time to time, they make your immune system stronger:D

Btw Kate, please don't take my opinion on women's tennis too seriously. At the end of the day, it's still one person's opinion, though I threw a couple of facts in there too but still. I did enjoy women's tennis from mid-90s (that's when I first started tennis in general) to mid-00s, say, until Justin retired.
