our colors are red, yellow and blue. Why blue?, no idea, but it's always been this way. Although it's true that the main color is red.

Can't believe Berdych lost in 1st round, these things can't happen if you wanna be a top 3 when guys like Federer and Nadal quit tennis.
Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

Blue often symbolizes a connection to the Sea.

Yooo, Carla did a great job getting the win there! She looked shaky in the first, but Stosur is mentally shaky, so she took advantage I think.

Berdych always seems vulnerable in early rounds.. Murray's draw just got a lot easier.

Fed is in trouble against Falla. He was cruising for 2 sets, but started mistiming the ball at the end of the 2nd, and Falla easily took advantage.
3rd set could be very interesting.

has anybody else noticed that the courts are playing very slippery today?

how often do you see fed lose his balance?

fed is in some big trouble today. lost his break in the opening of the third, and falla is on fire.

Both Berdych and Darpic fell badly and Serena did a nice full split. Court is definitely very slippery.

Wow if Fed messes that up...would be one hell of a choke. Nvm he just got the break.

Stosur sucks as on grass :)

Great win by Suarez still.

fed has 8 doubles titles including a few masters 1000 with max mryni

Nadal also has some Masters wins in doubles but really nothing compared to his singles. But Fed and Nadal are good volleyers. Djokovic actually has a negative win-loss record.

Murray complaining after 1 point. Classy.

Im not sure about that, but I hate the fact that NBC is not showing the good stuff live. it pisses me off. I had to wait like 5 hours after the 400 individual medley final with phelps and lochte was finished before I could watch it on tv. :evil:

I think that it's all live on at least one of the channels - I have it on NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, NBC Sports, and Bravo. I believe the race you mentioned was live on NBC Sports - the channel that used to be called VS.
