**Lunims** · 05-22-2011, 08:17 AM

Less than two hours to go!

**jagxj12** · 05-22-2011, 09:30 AM

Hewitt has withdrawn, replaced by Gicquel.

**Lunims** · 05-22-2011, 10:04 AM

Players are starting to take the court!

**Lunims** · 05-22-2011, 10:09 AM

The warm up hadn't begun and Cornet was arguing with Alison Lang about something. The camera person got closer and it turns out Alize had a cap with writing on it. The tournament director came out to explain she can't wear it, but they can get her a Roland Garros cap. She ended up taking a black visor out of her bag and coloring it in with a black marker Alison Lang had. They cut to Voracova looking at her camping and shaking her head in disbelief.

**fgjhfgjh** · 05-22-2011, 10:14 AM

The end is nigh?

**Lunims** · 05-22-2011, 10:17 AM

And we're off! Voracova came in off a TERRIBLE approach and Cornet passed easily.

HOORAY!!!! TENNIS!!!!!

**jagxj12** · 05-22-2011, 10:21 AM

The end is nigh?

I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure he would love to play one more Wimbledon though...

**jagxj12** · 05-22-2011, 10:44 AM

Stosur is looking and playing great, her backhand is really firing for her.

**fgjhfgjh** · 05-22-2011, 10:45 AM

Well, Sam S. is doing enough to win, but the match is a bit of a bore.

**jagxj12** · 05-22-2011, 10:46 AM

I love, love, love your avatar Mr. Koffie (been meaning to post that all week!).

**Zugaxxsn** · 05-22-2011, 10:48 AM

Voracova hitting 300 percent of all balls to the Cornet backhand.

I really hope I don't watch my SP pick flame out live.

**K0aM7urg** · 05-22-2011, 10:49 AM

I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure he would love to play one more Wimbledon though...

I agree, but I don't know how many more hip operations he can actually go through.

On the other hand, Sam got the first set without too much trouble. Hopefully the next will be as easy.

**fgjhfgjh** · 05-22-2011, 10:52 AM

I love, love, love your avatar Mr. Koffie (been meaning to post that all week!).

Merci!

unfortunately Vera still hasn't replied to my signature...

**Zugaxxsn** · 05-22-2011, 10:53 AM

Stakhovsky just broken at love serving for the first set.

**occafeVes** · 05-22-2011, 10:54 AM

Stosur is playing well. Certainly among favorites for the title if she can only conquer her emotions...

**fgjhfgjh** · 05-22-2011, 10:54 AM

I really hope I don't watch my SP pick flame out live.

Life as a Pironkova picker ain't easy either

**Zugaxxsn** · 05-22-2011, 10:56 AM

Um, yeah. I picked Dellacqua to win that one in my bracket.

**Zugaxxsn** · 05-22-2011, 10:57 AM

But... looks like Pironkova came back from her 1-4 deficit!

**fgjhfgjh** · 05-22-2011, 10:59 AM

But... looks like Pironkova came back from her 1-4 deficit!

She did! There were several 15-30 moments after that, but now she's ahead and within two points of the set. (which I feel she must take a.s.a.p.)
