Add me to the WTF about S and Grigor! Yikes!

As for the little spat, Serena apologized to Maria when she didn't have to. Too bad she had to do that when she was having a "private" conversation with her sister over the phone and the reporter (are they still called that) put that in the article. She didn't owe Maria anything, but it was big of her to do it. She felt Maria was pulled into her situation and wanted to reach out and apologize. BTW, she never mentioned Maria by name, so Maria was out of line for going at S in the press.

As for her opinion on the rape of the 16 year old, that is her opinion, and she is entitled. I just need the people to keep certain things to themselves. Serena's thoughts on that case are not much different from my own, but I don't wish to offend, so I keep it to myself because no matter if it's public or private, my opinion will still be my own. I don't understand why people struggle with this concept. The world does not have to know what you believe in, and it's still valid.

As for the teen. We see this case over and over and over where a woman drinks herself into a stupor, and the ONLY thing she remembers is that she said no. How convenient. Were the guy(s) drunk too? It's a shame no one ever learns from this sh!t!

Round 1:

Rafa down 2 sets to love to the 113th ranked player. This would be embarrassing after the FG win!

Sara Errani out - SE being the 5th ranked woman player in the world says this sport is lacking. She and Aga are very weak compared to the top 3, and it's shameful that Stoser, with that 2nd serve, forehand and pythons has fallen out of the top 10. Li Na needs to step it up as well. She's has been playing a very disappointing game as of late. Wozniacki? Never thought much of her from the beginning, and she has proven me right. Prime example of how to become #1 in the world without really trying. Once she stopped playing 200 tourneys a year, it was difficult to maintain a decent ranking.

[ChitHappens]

All this Rafa shade. Ouch!

Wawrinka ousted by Hewitt. The gods must be going crazy. What next?!

[London]

My coworker told me Nadal lost in straight sets to some "bum." Well...

[Gina90]

WHOA Wawrinka lost too ( I wonder who is next ? )

Well done Hewitt

Another suprise Maria Kirilenko lost

[Soapsuds]

Robson..ugh...you would have thought she won the whole thing they way the Brits reacted...lol....another overrated Brit like Andy Murray...the one hit slam wonder...

[ChitHappens]

Is this really a shocker? She is another weak player who doesn't belong in the top 10 and Laura Robson is a giant slayer (not that Kirilenko is a giant). Too bad Clijsters is gone from the game. We could use her.

I kinda do miss Kim but not surprised when she retired.

[ChitHappens]

She'll be knocked up soon. Kim says she didn't want to put off another child for too much longer. Lindsay Davenport could not wait to start being fruitful and multiplying. She was pregnant at the 6 week check up twice!
