I just love watching Fed lose at least a set, even when I know he ultimately won the match. I wish you could join me for the afternoon of beauty, but at least we can chat about the tennis! We are going to have to tear up the US Open sometime soon. If not this year, I will definitely do it in 2010. |

See ya later, Venus. Savay played great, but Venus seemed a little off her game. Off to put in some hard yards at the gym before Rafa's match. |

You're so good! I hope you enjoy your day of relaxation. Don't wear yourself out before your date with Rafa. I hope he steamrolls that awful Lleyton Hewitt. We will definitely need to tear up the Open sometime. This year, I'm using my friends' apartment in Queens as home base so my commute from Brooklyn won't be so long. Lord help us all if I'm not working. I don't know what to say about Venus. Sigh. I hope it's not like last year. I couldn't handle that much Williams family losing. But like I said, she won't lose points and she can focus on Wimbledon. I think Matt Cronin and Eli Weinstein are the ones to catch on FO Radio. They're the most likely to misbehave. |

Yeah, so I missed my date with Rafa, but I'm glad he steamrolled. I really wish my gym had TTC. Oh well...I guess I'll have to catch most of it tonight. Off to get beautified. This could take awhile....;) |

That Rafa/Lleyton match was a complete butt-whooping but still enjoyable to watch. And MaSha came back again today. I have a feeling she's going to be this year's "surprise." At least Venus and Serena were able to win their doubles match today. I enjoy watching them play together. |

I hope you have a lovely afternoon of beautifying. I'm sure it was just polishing up perfection. What's up with Djok!!! That's insane. Loved seeing Hewitt get spanked. I'm going with Na Li in the MaSha match--she's scrappy and MaSha's gotta be exhausted. I hope the "surprise" is that she shuts up that screaching for 5 minutes. Love seeing the Frenchmen Gael and JW get through. They are so entertaining. Turns out I went to college with one of the FO radio guys. Hilarity. |

Whoa. I go out for the morning, and I come back to read of Nole's defeat!? Wow. Good for Kohlschrieber. I guess this makes Fed's road to the final a little less bumpy, no?/Rafa Dementieva's gone, too. I saw some of her match before we went out, and her serve has gone wonky again. I'm definitely sitting next to you on the Li Na bus. How funny that you have the connection with the FO Radio guy. Maybe he can score us some tickets for next year!

Just saw JW Tsonga interviewed on TTC. He's really charming, and his smile is just beautiful. |

J-W is sooo dreamy. I've got a thing for Frenchmen it seems. I think you're right about Fed's part of the draw. I'm really looking forward to Monfils/Roddick tomorrow. That should be interesting. Remember Monfils gave Raja a little trouble at last year's semis!?! I heard Serena has a bad cold. That explains about her last match. Did you see that crazy call on the break in the first set of her match against Martinez? Rafa is killing me!!! |

I am so mad at the TV gods right now. I'm going to have to see if TTC's website is streaming Rafa's match. I almost spit up my orange juice when I saw he lost that first set to Soderling! And it's a dogfight in the second. Ugh... Yeah, that ball totally hit Martinez-Sanchez. I don't blame Serena for being ticked. I hope she feels better and is at full speed tomorrow. I'm looking forward to Andy/Gael too. I'll be happy no matter who wins that match. I like Andy because he doesn't seem to take himself too seriously, and Gael's fun to watch. Dinara is dominating. 6-1, 6-0 today. She still needs to find a shirt that fits her, though! Alright, gotta go find Rafa somewhere. I wasn't expecting to stress so much about him until next week! |

OMG, you totally called it about Safina's shirt. You know how much that irks me. She is smoking 'em! I just worry she hasn't been tested and will stumble against Ivanovic/Azarenka. And I agree about Monfils/Roddick. It's a win/win for fans. I'm so stressed about Rafa but I can't turn off the radio. And I really don't like Soderling either. Vamos Rafa! |

Thank goodness for FO Radio! And during the Murray/Cilic match, John McEnroe mentioned that Soderling isn't the most pleasant guy on the tour. Vamos, Rafa! Here comes the tiebreak... |

I was wondering about an injury. He killed in the tie-break and he needs to do more of that. Matt and Eli on FOR just had a hilarious argument about whether US or Serbian tennis is better. I gotta go with the US on that one. It's close though. |

Ivanovic down a break though. She needs some wins badly. |

Matt and Eli are entertaining. Michelle from the Bay Area is a hard-core Rafa fan, huh? I'm glad he pulled out the tiebreak, but I'm still worried about him. I would hate for him to lose to Soderling of all people. Ivanovic needs to go far in this tourney, for her confidence and to defend all those points she won at RG last year. I think I like her outfit, but I must say none of the women's fashion has impressed me this tourney. Wonder if TTC will cut in if a Rafa upset becomes possible/likely today. Doubt it. |

I love that you can still hear that trademark Nadal grunt even on the radio. Ugh...break points. Vamos! Why, oh why, must everything be about Roger? |

This is unbelieveable! I gotta go get ready for Mass. I think Rafa needs my prayers to get through this one. |

Yes! Pray for our Rafa! He so needs it right now. I can't believe they're not showing this live right now. That's ridiculous. There's no love from TV for the FO in the states. Ivanovic is going down today I feel. It's sad. I think She's wearing the same dress from last year maybe (which is fine because I like it). |
