What's the weather looking like over there?

[KernJetenue]

Beautiful so far!

So this may have been answered in another thread, but is the idea to, if everything stays dry, to play both finals on Sunday?

Think they have already officially moved the men's final to Monday.

No.

Saturday day: Men's semis
Saturday night: Women's semis

Sunday: Women's final

Monday: Men's final

Why didn't they flop the men's and women's semis so the men's winners today wouldn't have to play first tomorrow, and so the women's finalists wouldn't be getting off the court at night the day before the final? The traditional Super Saturday put the men on first so they'd have more rest before the Sunday final. Same should apply to the women this year, you'd think.

I'm thinking CBS wanted Serena. Either that, or perhaps TV contracts required women be shown primetime Saturday night

[Les Allen]

The time slot Saturday night is not big enough for the men's semis.

[Les Allen]

It's been a nice summer John. Thank you for playing.

Did Andy Murray just scream "Sh*t?" I didn't hear a code violation.

He did and no he did not get a code violation. Enberg apologized for it on TV.

[rozneesitcn]

Seriously, Dick Enberg? You think they advertise at 5-3?

Three amazingly stupid errors from Isner in the fourth set TB to give it all away.

[Intockatt]

Poor John Isner, he played his heart out today, and it must suck for him to go out on such a lousy tiebreak. Still, I thought it was a good match. Someone was knocking Isners approach shots yesterday, but they seemed pretty good to me.

[gariharrr]

That was a ridiculously lame tiebreak on Isner's part. Double fault, choke volley, push drop shot from the baseline....

[Switiespils]

The errors were:
1) A double-fault
2) An easy shank into the net when Murray was stretched wide off court and all Isner had to do was get the ball over the net.
3) A poor attempt at a drop-shot that didn't even make it to the net.

Two of the three errors were on Isner's serve and he made one final return of serve error on match point.

That was me, but you are right, they were much better today (some of his volleys on the other hand...)

[myspauyijbv]

Anybody got a good stream for Roddick/Nadal? I can't use the official US ones in Canada

[O25YtQnn]

Why do I let him get my hopes up?

Ridiculously sloppy tennis this first set.
