1 set a piece. I know nadal isn't at full strenght but uncle tony still has got to be pissed at rafas play right now. no way do you lose a set 6-3 after you bagle your opponent in the previous set.

 

[unomas]

Whoa what a point for Kiefer, when this turned into a match?

Right, I went to get a little late night dinner after Kiefer at a bagel in the first set and come back to Kiefer taking a set. Nadal can be beat by a lot of different guys on a court like this, I doubt Kiefer will be the one to get it done, but good match so far.

While the Open has been awesome... Quick side bar:

Mary Jo looking better than usual? (its the dresses)

Nadal's serve is looking good.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Dent vs Navarro was fucking awesome to watch.

 

[Speevy]

I love how they talk about Nadal like he's playing from a wheelchair. Good grief.

 

[Peru]

Federer - Hewitt.. I hope Hewitt has a good day. These guys know every little thing about eachother.

 

[ezrarh]

Roger is playing horribly right now.

 

[clemenx]

Wow, Witten.

Federer is playing really bad, lots of errors.

 

[Wes]

Witten and Hewitt!

TT day?

 

[Speevy]

Hobbled Nadal, crappy Federer.


Roddick wins?

 

[Peru]

Hobbled Nadal, crappy Federer.


Roddick wins?

Could be.

 

[John Dunbar]

djokovic and witten are holding their serves so poorly you'd think it's women's tennis.

 

[Koshiro]

djokovic and witten are holding their serves so poorly you'd this it's women's tennis.

Jokevic.

 

[agrajag]

I hope Jokevich loses to this 276th ranked dude!:lol

 

[Peru]

Very sloppy match from both Hewitt and Federer.

 

[agrajag]

So Sharapova is trying to serve Roddick-style, huh? Oudin looks slightly mentally challenged.

 

[bud]

this witten dude has three chins.

 

[SolidSnakex]

The announcers are painful to listen to during this Oudin match.

 

[Peru]

Oudin looks slightly mentally challenged.

A young player modelling her style on Justine Henin's is always a gift to the tour.

 

[SolidSnakex]

The serving in this Oudin/Sharapova match is unbelievably bad.

 

[Peru]

The serving in the Oudin/Sharapova match is unbelievably bad.

Sharapova on a DF streak again. Her last match had a fairly respectable number of double faults, but she's been on a 'roll' in this one. This is a problem with her new motion which will probably remain the same the rest of the season, and which we can hope is improved after the off-season.

Yeah, her serve seems to be the last part of her game that she needs to clean up for her comeback. There's no way that she can play like this against the really elite women's players and expect to go anywhere. She's just in luck right now that she's playing someone that's serving even worse than she is.

 

[mario ate my burger]

Whoa, Sharapova's serve has gone to crap :/

 

[zero_suit]

This Oudin vs Sharapova match just got interesting.

 

[BorkBork]

Oudin upset queen again? Wow :lol

 

[clemenx]

Is Sharapova trying to break a double faults record or something?

 

[perfectchaos007]

thats the 2nd >15 point game that sharapova has won this match.

 

[NomarTyme]

The trainer is pretty hot. Touch Sharpova more please.

 

[clemenx]

:lol

 

[avaya]

Masha has just continued to implode, wildly unreliable new service action and its looking like the shoulder issue is now being forced down the limb.

Oudin has just had to stay competent to get through this.

 

[liquid_gears]

I thought Sharapova completely revamped her serve after the surgery?

Very disappointing. I still think that when she's at her best she is one of the few women who can mix it up with the Williams sisters.

 

[Peru]

I thought Sharapova completely revamped her serve after the surgery?

She did. That's why it was a weapon before and 100% unsafe right now. Health reasons.

 

[John Dunbar]

Serena, maybe, but Venus has made it to a Grand Slam semi-final only once outside Wimbledon since 2003.

 

[RBH]

Melanie Oudin!

Marietta, GA represent!

Hope she can pull off yet another upset.

 

[Meliorism]

It's so close right now. Maria's not helping herself with all the double faults. Just now had another double fault in the same same.

30-40 break point to make it 5-4 Oudin.

 

[John Dunbar]

if my math is correct, there's been 28 sets and 14 breaks. impressive.

 

[clemenx]

This could have been a better game without Maria's serve woes, when they play the points has been a great match.

 

[agrajag]

Yes, go Sharapova!

 

[avaya]

This could have been a better game without Maria's serve woes, when they play the points has been a great match.

this match would have been over long ago if Masha could serve properly.

 

[Ashhong]

oh my god.

 

[Peru]

21 double faults... I've tore out all my hair. I've punched a hole through my pillow.

 

[agrajag]

Maria's service game is disgusting.

 

[Ashhong]

Maria's service game is disgusting.

when she starts losing her confidence after a couple double faults they just dont stop

why isnt Maria screaming?

 

[SolidSnakex]

It's amazing that Maria is still in the game despite how horrendous her service game has been throughout the match.

 

[Ashhong]

they just said shes double faulted an entire set + some worth of points. fuck.

theres the screams. come the fuck on maria

 

[Operations]

Is Sharapova trying to give the game away now? :lol

 

[zero_suit]

Uh oh, match point.

 

[Ashhong]

wat the fuck was that? shut the fuck up stupid crowd!

 

[NomarTyme]

OUDIN! congrats.

 

[agrajag]

She just fell apart in the last game.

edit: I'm going to go play some tennis in a bit and I'm going to serve better than Sharapova.
