This seems like a little better set so far. All he needs is a break. |

Yeah... I have to say I'm pleased that they're not licking Fed's sneakers on FOR. It's making this spanking a little easier. |

I think Gael is done. He doesn't seem to have the focus to make a run. |

Yep, he's toast. Glad there's not a huge Fedfest going on. |

now it's up to DelPotro or Robredo to stop the train. Don't have much confidence that will happen, but weirder things have happened. |

Yeah. Now, I'm putting my hopes into Soderling? Madness. |

Just grabbed a quick bite. If I'd been watching on TV at home, the appetite definitely would have been gone. Who'da thunk we'd be rooting for Soderling? But honestly, I think he (and maybe Gonzo) might be the one guy who won't be intimidated by Roger. |

Looks like we've got to join Team DelPotro now. |

And Dinara's a finalist. The Sveta/Stosur match is a win/win. I'm kind of rooting for Stosur, though. It sounds like she's been through a lot health-wise, and she's been playing great. It'll be interesting to see if Sveta's match yesterday emptied her gas tank. |

We'll see if Sveta can do the job. I heard Dinara had the flu and I still wonder if she's had enough challenging match play to bring it on Saturday. Sveta's energy levels may be a factor but she's beat some fighters to get to the final. Still, I'd say Safina in 3. Sam put up a great fight and Sveta dipped back into bad habits. But I think the final will be one to watch if both gals bring their A game. I'm so checked out of the men's side. I've resigned myself to the inevitable. My friend was horrified about Fed winning here because he said we'll NEVER hear the end of it. Only a first-round loss at Wimbledon would appease him, LOL. |

As much as I like Sveta, think this is Dinara's tourney to take. I agree with you- Dinara in three nervous sets. Soderling's up two sets on Gonzo. I'm telling you, if anyone is willing to be the skunk at Fed's Paris picnic on Sunday, it's Soderling. And I will laugh and laugh and laugh and jump up and down with joy if the Sod can pull it off. If he can't, I'm with your friend- nothing less than a Fed first round Wimby loss will ease the pain! ![]() Vamos DelPotro! |

Figures...I start tracking the match and Gonzo takes the third set. |

You know, I always open my big fat mouth way too soon. It's just a gift I have. This one's going 5! And now I'm torn...do I root for Gonzo, who I like but who I also think will be Fed's sacrificial lamb, or do I root for Soderling, who I can't stand and knocked off my tennis boyfriend but might be able to stand up to Fed? |

I bet you're busy at work, but I might just keep talking to myself on the thread as I work through that last stage of tennis grief: acceptance. |

And now Rafa has pulled out Queens because of his knees. Bummer, but he needs the rest to be at his best to defend Wimby. |

Oh. My. Goodness! Soderling wins. Hopefully he's not running on empty after that thriller. This ain't over yet. Vamos DelPotro! Now on to do some actual work. I'll check in later. |

Sorry, the boss was hanging out. How about that Soderling. Way to make things hard for yourself. I think JMDP will go away after the first set. I'm glad he's showing a little more mental toughness but I don't think it's enough. |

I think Rafa is just taking it easy on the knee but it's a little worrisome with the lack of play on grass. |

Vamos, Juan Martin! Man, I hope he can keep this up. Keeping guardedly optimistic. My boss has the day off. Tennis + little motivation= unproductive Megan. At least until this match is done! |

If vibes from the Rafa fans could carry him through, JMDP would win in straights! |
