**P9CCd35R** · 08-26-2012, 12:18 PM

aaah, one day to go! it's about this time that the time diff between NY and London becomes apparent, when i am up after midnight every night watching 'early evening' matches ... grrr LOL

looking forward to seeing if the women's defending champ can start well - difficult opponent in Martic.

**Peabelilt** · 08-26-2012, 01:16 PM

Looking forward to the start of this event. Curious to see how Kvitova will do after playing for four straight weeks. A lot of pundits/fans are crying out that she's overplayed.

**ViagraFeller** · 08-27-2012, 04:15 PM

Let the games begin! I'm in the process of moving out of my apartment, and the internet was set to be canceled today. It must have been EST time or something because when I tried to get on late night to submit all my picks disaster struck. The neighbors, kind or silly enough to not have a password on their wireless, turned out to be having unrelated problems. It made for a dramatic night.

...

"Ah well," Charlie though to himself. "They're only games. Who cares if I miss a suicide pool, a YCWJ, a SkanCan, a racketbracket, a BOTB? It's not as if I would even win a fake medal, or a real Canadian coin, or bragging rights over those damn Brits. No big whoop, right?"

He tossed and turned. The mostly empty apartment had just transformed into a prison, a barren wasteland where madness would surely overtake him. Deep breaths did nothing. Trying to sleep was pointless. Lounging and listening to his favorite podcast only delayed the pain.

At 6:30 in the morning, with nary a wink of rest, a grim determination overtook him. Charlie would be damned if he missed out on the ridiculous fun. He opened the door and was greeted with a shocking chill, the sign that summer has come and gone. With a sigh, he dug out some long pants that hadn't been worn in months. Tighter than he remembered, Charlie deduced he wouldn't be comparing his thighs to Christmas hams if he would stop eating at McDonald's. With that, he set off to McDonald's.

A mile and a half of brisk walking, a connection to free wi-fi, and a slammed 32 oz Diet Coke later, he could rest easy. He had gotten his picks in on time.

**CorpoRasion** · 08-27-2012, 04:19 PM

The DirecTV extra channels aren't working. Boo.

**Vomephems** · 08-27-2012, 04:35 PM

Stosur ruins a golden set leading 4-0, 40-0 with a... wait for it folks... a double fault. What a mess you are.

**qilmuz6v** · 08-27-2012, 04:49 PM

What TATeur is on the grounds today? That would explain AMG being down a set and a break to Hradecka.

**Peabelilt** · 08-27-2012, 05:13 PM

Nice start for Stosur.

**ViagraFeller** · 08-27-2012, 05:18 PM

The ball kids must have not had a ton of training because they keep coming close to slamming into each other. It's pretty fun to watch. Also, somewhere a garage is missing a boy band because there are several matches with ball boys who have perfect skin, expensive looking hair, and bored expressions.

Someone from TAT had to be there as Medina Garrigues is either playing doubles or making plane reservations to Spain.

**CorpoRasion** · 08-27-2012, 05:28 PM

It felt like every time I looked at the scoreboard, Goerges had a break point. But then she never seems to break. It turns out she's 0/8 on break points. I'm pretty sure she had a lead in the first set breaker that got away from her.

**enencephoth** · 08-27-2012, 05:41 PM

Looks like the rain should be there for almost 2 hours.

**Vomephems** · 08-27-2012, 05:57 PM

You knew it was a bad sign when TC started showing last year's Fed/Nole semi from the very first point!

**AutocadOemM** · 08-27-2012, 06:54 PM

How long does it take to close the...oh wait.

**jagxj12** · 08-27-2012, 06:57 PM

Yeah... Although to be honest today it wouldn't have made much of a difference.

**enencephoth** · 08-27-2012, 07:58 PM

Why is it taking so much longer for play to get going on the outer courts as opposed to Ashe?

**Riprincattiva** · 08-27-2012, 08:00 PM

Drying the courts one by one?

**jagxj12** · 08-27-2012, 08:11 PM

Did you see the moment with Bogomolov at the net?
