Have her tell you where she is and what she is donning for the day so we can look for her in the stands.

:snicker

Look for a short chick with a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp.

Did she say which one she was cheering for? :snicker

No, she didn't but there would have to be a family sit-down if it was Groth.

Better take care of this in the 4th. A 5th set and his tourney is in jeopardy even if he wins

Fed kind of wilted there, but Groth is rather fearsome when he has nothing to lose.

Groth takes the third set. Fed should have made that shot down the line.. bad miss.

Yeah Fed had two or three looks at passes and couldn't make any of them. The double fault didn't help either. Now Groth isn't giving away too much.

Groth got fired up and played some fine tennis, but Roger should have broken him earlier in the third. He switched off his return game apparently. What a horrible walkabout, Novak-esque I would say.

Good response from Roger. Hopefully straight forward from here.

Sometimes it takes a while to adjust when you've been getting no resistance

At least he politely apologizes for it.

Roger will go into cruise control here.

Groth isn't letting this one go yet. Got to love his heart.

I've never been a fan of the giant servers like Isner and Ivo, but I have to admit I kind of like Groth. He has a lot of personality.

Agreed. He has more game than those guys. Must be the doubles credentials

Didn't even face a break point I don't think

Vasek Pospisil takes the first set against Ward 6-4.
