Well huge upset for Serena but was her own fault, she squandered her chances and got irritated by the crowd.

Radwanska getting past Venus didn't really surprise me but I was expecting closer sets. Pretty sure Venus is going to retire after the USO.

Apparently Murray had cramps in the first set against the Finn but recovered. And Tsonga is just bad on clay, home crowd or not. In any case his next opponent will be a TS4 veteran :D

I think isner just likes breaking records. What does he have to go to at the French? I think the record is 17-15?

This is an awesome match. Saw it from 8-8. Isner looks like he just done for but then drops a bomb or 2 and we all know how long he can go for. Matthieu looks like a stamina machine. Great French wimbledon match.
To win is to achieve success. To compete and lose and try again is greatness

Another 2 match points saved. Maybe he's speculating on getting the match postponed because Mathieu looks a lot fitter but the Frenchman cannot convert his chances.

Isner simply doesn't look like he can break, and Mathieu has like 85% 1st serve

5th set was 18-16 for Mathieu, so more games were played but the match didn't take 6 hours.

6–7(2–7), 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 18-16

Tommy Haas (remember him :) ) breezing through the 2nd round. Gasquet his next opponent.

Serena surprised me very much, ever since her illness it's been like she's desperate to win a slam. :? It hinders her game so much.

Venus on the other hand will always be Venus.

40 shot rally between Simon and Wawrinka. Man I love watching Stan's one handed-backhand, it's better than 95% of all two-handed ones and he can disguise it so well.
