Goin to bed early tonight http://forum.talkabouttennis.com/ima...es/biggrin.png

You better cheer loud and long. I took her in the SP just for you.

I have to feel bad for Jarmilla here. The crowd is going to go absolutely crazy. That said, I will be staying up and rooting wildly for Razzano.

Going to be hard to watch either way http://forum.talkabouttennis.com/ima...lies/frown.png

Oh lord. Not even sure I could ever do that.

And I feel obligated to remind you that she's won all of once this year.

She's already made it to 3-3, salmon. We're rootin' for her http://forum.talkabouttennis.com/ima...ilies/wink.png

So. Between my Djokovic funk and a crazy work schedule, I decided to take it easy this week. Wake up at a normal time, and just catch what I can on Tivo and in the evenings.

But. My body is having none of that. Because promptly at 5:00am (just happening to coincide with the start time in Paris) I am wide awake. So, here I am, whether I want to be or not. http://www.talkabouttennis.com/forum...ies/cheesy.gif

That should be in the "You know you're a tennis fan when..." thread http://www.talkabouttennis.com/forum...ies/cheesy.gif

aaaaaaaaand 6-3, not Zuz.

Watching a bit of Raz/Gaj... not the highest quality, but not nearly as nervy as I had expected. Love Razzano's dress: looks a little periwinkle on my screen.

AMG is down 3-5 to whoever the heck her opponent is.

!

And already down a break of serve in the next http://forum.talkabouttennis.com/ima...lies/frown.png C'mon, Zuz!!!

Meanwhile, Murray gets broken en breaks back to take the first set 6-4. No exactly flawless stuff yet....

Commentary on the Mladenovic/Morita match: "You don't see much of the two-handed forehand, especially on the WTA side..."

Uhhhh... at the moment, I can't think of a single ATPer who uses two hands off both sides. Good try, commentator.

I woke up SO hungry at about 2:50-something, which was good since I would have slept through a lot of tennis otherwise.

Now I'm eating leftover Cheese Tortellini and watching tennis. Ooo yeah http://forum.talkabouttennis.com/ima...es/biggrin.png

http://www.talkabouttennis.com/forum...ies/cheesy.gif

Meanwhile, Zuz has broken back! http://www.talkabouttennis.com/forum...es/shocked.gif

Only to get broken back. Au revoir, le Zuz.

Random aside: Murray and Prodon have the same grunt tone.

If asked to give my expert opinion on that match, I'd say that Garcia hit the ball, and Zuz didn't.

Sorry Moose.

Oh well. Was sort of pulling for Razzano for obvious reasons.
