Goerges/Woz quarterfinal?!?!

Won't happen - Goerges withdrew (low back injury). So did Cibulkova. Zheng and Kerber LL'd into the main draw.

Great Arn, Sveta?


Really?


Greta Arn?

[estelle]

Sigh. Oh Sveta. At least you have some Grand Slams to have fond memories of. Jankovic on the other hand... Blah. I'd just really like to see Jelena win a GS before she retires.

Great Arn, Sveta?


Really?


Greta Arn?

Great Greta??? Oh Sveta.

[Glanteeignile]

And then there's A-Rod. Oh Andy. On the other hand - YAYYY GILLES!!!!

The expected Monfils-Nishikori match just became a lucky loser fest of Nieminen-Mannarino.

[KernJetenue]

And then there's A-Rod. Oh Andy. On the other hand - YAYYY GILLES!!!!

Did Andy verbally abuse any chair umpires or linespeople who were just trying to do their job?

[zdoppiklonikaa]

Interesting fact - so far this season, only three 2010 WTA champions have attempted to defend a red clay title. Each one of them has lost in the first round this year - Sevastova at Estoril, Rezai at Madrid, MJMS at Rome.

Not a good omen for Skeevy!


(in the other four events, the defending champion did not play the event - Pennetta/Marabella, Schiavone/Barcelona, Benesova/Fes and Henin/Stuttgart)

FLASH: Kei Nishikori is out, suffering from kidneystone problems. Jarkko Nieminen replaces him in the main draw. And Gael Monfils is out as well! They were due to play each other! So next up on Centre instead of those two we will have Nieminen versus Adrian Mannarino!
