Sloane gets early shift, Venus gets late shift.

 

[Si Si Simona]

I will have to wait hours until Marin and Marcos finish their business
Meanwhile I may get my blood pressure up with a doze of sugar :nono
If I watch my bad obsession I jinx Dulgheru, if I dont I may regret missing it. Cant win situation

who cares

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) (10) vs. Aliaksandra Sasnovich (BLR)

I don't want to see any excuses here.This should be a fine-tune session for Caro before her 3rd round encounter with Petko.

 

[tossip]

why are pova s potential opponents not getting scheduled on Ashe like Serena s ....USTA think we are stupid,they are really setting up this Open for pova....I hope Serena doesnt fall for the slick subtle disses.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Did Serena say she was playing doubles on day 3?
I don't see her playing doubles in the order of play.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Venus gets the night match on Ashe.I hope she has dusted off the cobwebs after her first rd match,too many ufe,also she was leading 5-0 in the 3rd set and eventually won it 6-3.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Early matches also include:
Daniela vs. Alize on court 5
Aga vs. Peng on Armstrong Stadium.
Belinda vs. Kurumi on court 11
Vinci vs. Begu on court 7

[Si Si Simona]

Vika is ranked now 29! uzzled
The new upcoming spring chicken Venus has climbed to 17 and has high hopes for a good career in the future

 

[kskate2]

Ebony Smooth traded breaks w/ Larsson. 2-2 now

 

[Fefe26]

Aga, better get it together.

 

[kskate2]

Cornet takes the opener off Daniela

 

[Si Si Simona]

Cornet takes the opener off Daniela

So expected. Thats why I hope and pray that Simona will come wearing all black today...
If you will do the tennis math you will know exactly what I mean.
These two players are a classic example of the mentality gap between two players and it shows in the result.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Sloane fell behind but rallies and takes the first set 7-5, the Swede served for it and lost it.

Aga lost the first set 6-3

Flavia lost the first set 6-2

 

[Moxie]

That was good composure from Sloane.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Irina doing a Simona !! :idea: I knew she can do something here. She is in such a positive frame of mind since her fed cup adventures with Simo and Sori
6-2 3-3 on Vinci Lucky draw.
She was ranked around 130 on April, she is now 51 !

 

[Moxie]

Sloane fell behind but rallies and takes the first set 7-5, the Swede served for it and lost it.

Aga lost the first set 6-3

Flavia lost the first set 6-2

I think you mean Roberta Vinci, not Flavia. And Peng is up a break on Aga in the 2nd. Upset alert.

This 3rd quarter of the draw is soft. Irina Begu will take it by storm and into the semis v ... Simo!
Imagine an all Romanian SF :laydownlaughing

 

[kskate2]

Yep 4-2 Peng 30-30 on Aga's serve

 

[kskate2]

Aga holds 4-3
