\tey need to PAN to the other matches too - even if only in parts. so people can have a sense of how players are doing.

Agreed! I was shocked by that one.

So happy for both. Saw more of Venus than Delpo (US coverage,) but Juan Martin looked intimidating. (And shockingly bright in all that neon yellow.)

Sam Querrey tours the facility. Good job he booked because he's been knocked out already.

Donaldson's getting better and better. He's beginning to bridge that gap between the challengers / qualifiers and the main tour.

It's a good win over Goffin too, who is Mr Steady Eddy and generally beats the players who's he's supposed to beat.

haha -- someone as BIG as that argentine - that shirt the company seems to giveto many players looks like a blanket. lol.
"hey everyone -- this my mother's table- cloth" !!
lol.


serena looking like she wants this USO seriously - and doesn't want to waste energy and time and any chance to get long bouts and end up straining herself. good approach i think.

sometimes tha'ts been my worry about her -- when she goes about with a slow start...and needlessly makes things harder and more prolonged than her game should allow.

 

[teddytennisfan]

she;s really all business tonight, so far.

3 match points. JUST FINISH IT SERENA1

2 MATCH POINTS..

1 MATCH POINT -- just go forward and meet the ball and hit it with a winner. .

 

[teddytennisfan]

YES!!! she did like i asked -- though only half-in the court. but at least she TOOK it . rather than keep going with the rally.

 

[teddytennisfan]

aha -- now the world KNOWS what is serena's SECRET in her greatest of all serves -- man or woman -- in history --

''i don't think -- except ACE'.

THAT'S IT. LOL..

Murray will take him. Lukas will grab a set at best.

it's just one of the four times a year we ordinary folks that can't buy tickets -- and be there -- get to know how many other players play.

they need someone like Britbox to manage this for them!
