Uh huh... Hewitt on 2 and Mauresmo on 3 with not a single Wimbledon champion on Court 1.

[Blacksheepaalredy]

okkay. I have discovered why Ivanovic is failing: having to wear some of the stuff Adidas is pushing onto her. The dress is very nice, very pure but the jacquet with the fluffy arms is a PURE HORROR of ridiculousness!!!!!!!!!Ana: you have all my commiseration!

anyway, can Stosur,, who still doesn"t have a title, can create a sort of upset?

[Stovegeothnon]

Uh huh... Hewitt on 2 and Mauresmo on 3 with not a single Wimbledon champion on Court 1.

I can't help but think there's some kind of rhyme and reason to it but for the life of me I can't figure it out.

[Blacksheepaalredy]

stosur already broken. she is said to have one of best serve of the WTA.

[Blacksheepaalredy]

hey, if it helps to win!!! As long as Amelie wins and reaches the last 16, this doesn"t bother me if they put her on court 358. I think this will help her actually!

[Blacksheepaalredy]

stosur is ripped like a dude.

[Jackson]

stosur is ripped like a dude.

Yes, I noticed that last round. She seems to have put on more muscle since she went more into singles than doubles.

And at least she's broken back to sit at 5-5.

[Super-Luser]

Very poor play by Jelena today. Error after error from the simplest situations...

[Stainditnew]

Go Melanie!

I look at the scores and turn to ESPN to find out they are showing fishing. Really?

[SeLvesTr]

Lovely to see Ana playing so well.

[Catieliecutty]

Jankovic may be struggling...grr, my SP pick who had a set point at 5-3, but Ivanovic OTOH is playing her best tennis my guess: since RG 2008. She's playing really, really well.

[Blacksheepaalredy]

definition of streamrolled: stosur, in stosur v ivanovic!

[Super-Luser]

And now Oudin is playing very, very well. Just few too many errors...

[Blacksheepaalredy]

Yes, I noticed that last round. She seems to have put on more muscle since she went more into singles than doubles.

And at least she's broken back to sit at 5-5.

she also had health problems from what I understood, lyme disease or something, which must have been even more stressing and difficult for her when she switched to singles,
as for her physique, perhaps she"s trying to emulate Lleyton"s sister

[Blacksheepaalredy]

stosur is still playing as if she were in RG, 2 kms behind the baseline!

[Catieliecutty]

Spoiler Alert:






WOO HOO JELENAAAAAAA!! She fights off 3 set points in the tie-breaker (and maybe more down 5-6???) after wasting her own set point up 5-3.

7-6 (9-7).

[Catieliecutty]

Jankovic medical timeout - Ailment this time: Low blood sugar

Jelena's Solution: She's eating Jellybeans.

Have I mentioned that I love this woman?

[Super-Luser]

Oudin has enough game to be in the top 20 herself and fairly soon. That forehand of hers is a real weapon.

[SeLvesTr]

Amazing how one game can make such a difference in women's matches. At 5-5 15-30 Sam hit two double faults to give Ana the break. Next thing she knows she's a set and 4-0 down.

Very impressive performance from Ana, I hadn't seen her play so well since her RG win. What made the difference here is how incredibly well she was serving. She was in control during the entire match, but the only moment she saw herself under some pressure (when Sam broke back in the first set) her toss couldn't hide it. Unfortunately she's up for facing Venus in the next round, so she won't have many second chances to keep steady.
