Yeah I'd like to see Ana win one as well. I remember she was world #1 about 5-6 years ago... she just hasn't been the same dominant player since. I'm pretty eeked off that Andrea Petkovic pulled out :(

My goodness there are some real hotties running around out there :D

Oh yeah... I heard about that. I wouldn't mind an upset either, but there's a potential 2nd round meeting between Roddick and Hewitt. Heaven help the umpire when 2 temper-brats collide :lol:

Well she hasn't been the same since she started dating Aussie golfer Adam Scott! Maybe it's got something to do with her mind not being totally on the job or something. I don't think Adidas will be very happy with this. They've given her lifetime sponsorship, meaning they'll supply all her gear up until she retires, then give her an Adidas Tennis Ambassador job. Not bad for someone who's never won a grand slam...

The babes aren't done yet. Aussie Sam's up now, but she's not the babe I'm referring to. I'm talking about her opponent, 21 year old Romanian, Sorina Cirstea.

Bit of a surprise as Harrison goes 3-2 in the first set over Murray

hes playing very well but whether or not he can maintain it is yet to be seen! this is where experience may come in! and it is also a very hot day, so i hope Harrison's youth MAY keep him going longer and better

Yeah that's the thing. Last night Alex Kudryavtsev pushed the FedEx to the limit in the first set, and just lost 5-7 after dropping his only server of the match towards the end of the set. He had a powerful serve on him too. Then the experience came into play and Federer breezed through the next 2 sets 6-2, 6-2. I will admit though that Kudryavtsev did have a medical timeout at the beginning of the 2nd set, but he didn't look injured at all. Time and patience are a virtue in tennis. Too many youngsters lose their morale when they lose long sets and long individual games.

with that being said, Harrison is playing brilliant tennis. he is not losing his cool and this 19 year old is starting to scare our fourth seed a bit here.

not to mention Harrison's average serve speed is at 176km/h right now, its insane.

and the score, well,

5-2!!!

Alexandra Dulgheru (my gosh how many people named Alex~ have played today lol) is another Romanian in action today, against another Russian, and she (Alex) is pushing the world #7 to the limit today. Currently 6-6 in the first.

Aussie Sam trailing Sorana Cirstea, the other Romanian, 5-6, also in the first set.

Stosur and Cirstea goes to a tie breaker. 6-6.

Harrison's starting to sound and look a bit more convincing. Let's see if he can keep it up. Murray nabs a game back... 5-3 now.
