I'm having such a hard time leaving. NBC stinks, and what stinks worse is that TTC can't show the match, either. That is all. I think Anna's going to lose too. It's a shame. |

Kader Nouni!?! I'm not sure because they've been on Rafa the whole time (I'm at work). I think he might have changed his hair too. Did I tell you that I saw him at the Open 2 years ago macking to this girl in French right next to me. Hilarious. Apparently a lot of PO'ed US fans about them not showing the Nadal match. |

I think it's your French ump. I didn't catch the name of the ump at the beginning of the match. If the worst happens (and I'm really starting to think it will), it's JW Tsonga, Andy Roddick (and maybe Murray), Gael, or bust for me. I may get physically ill if I have to watch Rog hoist that trophy next Sunday. OK, I really have to go now. I hope the worst doesn't happen while I'm gone. |

It'll all be over when you get back and we'll cross our fingers it's for the best. You know what would be completely unacceptable? A Murray/Federer final. |

A Roger/Andy M. final would be unwatchable, in my opinion. See last year's US Open final for all the proof anyone needs. And as to who's a more gracious loser, did Djoker cry like a baby when he lost the final to Rafa in Monte Carlo? Didn't think so. I remember being moved by it at the time, but now I think it was kind of tacky. Alright, I'll be back in an hour. I may not check in because I was planning to watch this match while I work out this afternoon and might not want to know how it ends. But you and I both know I will be too weak not to find out what happened! |

Sounds good. We'll give our best to our boy. That final in Rafa's house would be sickening. And I agree 100% about Raja being a less than graceful loser. I was completely cold about his crying at the AO during my rewatch party and not sympathetic at all when he lost at Wimbledon. He's so entitled. Djok wins that contest easily. We'll check in later hopefully with good news. |

And Ana's out of there... I'm silently rooting for Sveta. I adore her. |

Well, this has just become the Megan Doesn't Care Anymore Open. Yech. Guess those prayers weren't answered. |

Actually, strike that: it's become the Anybody but Federer Open. I'm gutted. I hope there's nothing physically wrong with Rafa, and that a few weeks at home (maybe even skipping Queens Club) will be what he needs to come back and defend Wimby. |

Oh, and it's not looking good for Nando Verdasco either. |

I'm just thinking: maybe, just maybe, this is Andy Roddick's chance to win this. Crazy things have been happening, he's playing great so far, and anything is possible- this tourney is wide open now. Or maybe I'm just delusional and trying to ease the pain a little. Sorry for the constant posts since I got home- it's what I do when I'm slightly emotional. |

No dude, you need to do what you need to do to cope. The thing is that Rafa will brush this off and be fine. His press conference was good--he said "...and the season continues." I agree. ABFed/Murray Open is in business! I'd be happy to see Roddick, Monfils, or Tsonga go far. |

I know it's not a lot but MaSha getting bagled in the 2nd set is a little sunshine. |

Ugh! Davydenko in the quarters. Today has royally SUCKED. Williams sisters lost in the doubles, Ivanovic, Nadal, Verdasco (although he's looking more and more like a jerk). Sveta don't fail me... |

I was just reading what he said in his presser, and it's so true. He said he'd be preparing for Queens and Wimby in his swimming pool! And at least he gets to spend his birthday at home with his family and friends. He's earned it. The streak was going to end at some point. Love how TTC's tiptoeing around today's result. As if we didn't already know. Say "adios!" to Nando and Maria's on to a third set. I'll still watch NBC's coverage while I work out. I'm a glutton for punishment. |

And the Williams sisters lost, too? What a day! Yes, Maria getting bageled is a bright spot. |

And the gracious way Rafa took this loss is a testament to the good sport and guy he seems to be. Maybe part of him is also glad that he doesn't have the pressure of the streak to worry about now. Think I'm rooting for Sveta, Dinara, Jelena (she's still in the tourney, right? Haven't seen many of her matches), and Serena. |

Jelena is still in it. Dinara and Sveta have been cruising. I don't think Serena has enough gas in the tank but we'll see. Nadal is just a great sportsman. It's his good attitude that makes all the difference. No tears from him. Tomorrow's schedule is insane! Good tennis all around. |

I know! I will have to keep track of everything from work. Should be fun, though. |
