Is anyone else having problems viewing the scoring page on the Roland Garros website?

I'm using the crappy laptop at work, and it has an old version of flash on it (that can't be updated cos I don't have admin rights).
I can't use the fancy live score but I can normally go to Scores/Matches in progress and see them there. Today it's not showing anything, I can click "Problems viewing scores? Please visit our standard scores page here." but I have to keep manually refreshing.

Is it just me?

Is it just me or is the bottom half of the women's draw terribly unexciting? (Especially after Kim's exit)

There's absolutely no match that I feel like is a must see until the QF, whereas the top half is full of absolutely delicious matches on paper.

ETA: Also, Kvitova's draw looks like it has opened up immensely. Hoping to see an amazing Petra-Victoria QF, though a Na-Victoria QF if Na is on could also be very fun to watch.

Florian Mayer is now down two sets to one.

Verdasco just lost the first set to Malisse.

Na Li is down 0-3 to start.

Something is in the water today.

And Murray is down a break in the first set.

Is any American man really upset when they lose on clay? Is any American man really upset with the scheduling of tournaments when they take the whole spring off? Something about spending the spring in Europe as a 20 something year old just doesn't seem to be a bad thing to me. WTF is wrong with USTA regarding this? I say if you don't make an effort in the spring(monaco,barc. madr. rome), you're not allowed any appearance fee money the rest of the year.

Are you talking about Querrey? He was definitely uninterested in this match. I watched bits and pieces of the first set, and then switched to it at 5 all. In the tiebreaker he won ONE point on his serve. The three he lost were all do to not paying attention. One shank, one net clipper, one point where he failed to put a volley away again and again and again. Even the point he won was from a giant ace that barely touched the sideline and was obviously a "eh, I guess I'll bomb one." I found myself severely annoyed just watched ten minutes of the match.

It's the more exciting half from the QF on, but I think you're right. We may be in for a lot of "Contender beats the crap out of Who in straight sets."

Hmph. Murray has a nasty habit I just noticed.

With Bolelli serving for the set at 5-4 Murray was really really trying to psyche himself up. Because that was obvious, some "come on"s at unforced errors is forgivable. Then Bolelli starts walking up to the service line to serve and I hear "come on!" Wait, what? Oh... that was Murray. It's a mutter gone out of control. His camp has never stopped him and now what should be silent or a whisper is easily heard by the crowd. But oh well. Bolelli was only walking up to the line. Next point: we hear a medium volume "come on" while Bolelli is bouncing the ball! After a few bounces! Not okay.

No gamesmanship at all involved here. It's just a sad result of years upon years of never being told to hush. Murray probably has no idea.

Yes, If I was his coach I would be laying really hard into him. Not 1 American man sees the opportunity on clay since Agassi? Screw Grass, I'm making my money on clay where there's more than 3 tournaments to enter.

It wasn't even the decent Arantxa, Kim. Let alone the good one.

How patronizing was Carillo (less so Martina) to Aranxta Rus?

They really need... an attitude adjustment in that booth
