How many kids she got? I think Kim had one and last time I saw LD I think she had one but LD was never a fave of mine much like a lot of the others Capriatti, Hingis & Henin.

[Toups]

Wow, very surprised about Nadal, especially in straight sets. I thought last year was just a fluke.

[London]

Just read that the guy who beat Nadal pulled out of the slam due to a shoulder injury, Isner pulled out because of a knee injury.

My coworker has me cracking up at the Nadal guy saying he's going out on a high note.

Azarenka just pulled out!

Hewitt gettin' his ass whipped by a skinny German with dreds!

Wooooow, what's wrong with her? They're dropping like flies.

[ChitHappens]

She injured herself in Monday's match. Knee swollen.

They are dropping like flies, but this gives the others who can't break thru a chance to step it up and gain some points and prize money.

One can hope, Li Na still in it?

[ChitHappens]

Yeah, Na is still in it but she's been really disappointing lately! This is Serena's best surface so good luck to everyone else. I thought grass would be the easiest surface, but many players don't do well here. Serena will probably have about 200 aces at Wimby alone.

[London]

LOL, hoping but you never know. She just has to continue doing what she's doing and she'll taste victory again.

[London]

Nice game with Brown, intrigued to see what he does next round.

[ChitHappens]

Can't believe he's 28.

I know Verdasco is going to disappoint me.

[London]

LOL, not too old. But I can't stand Hewitt and it's not that hard to beat him. But I enjoyed it, I almost forgot he still plays. Fernando, he's not there yet.

[ChitHappens]

Glad Hweitt is out , and super happy it was a black guy who ousted him. Hewitt is a bastard, and I will never forget him wanting the black lines men removed from his match against Blake many years ago. He claimed that their calls were favoring Blake when there was nothing to support those claims. Can't stand him!

Ivanovic out!

These up and comers better take advantage of what's happening at Wimby13!

ETA: Cilic pulled out! Lawd have mercy on Wimby13!

ETA: Wozniaki takes a tumble. Trainers/doctor on the court making an assessment.

Wow, were they removed though?

Damn! Is it the surface or what?

[ChitHappens]

Nope, they were not removed because Hewitt's claims were baseless.

The surface? It hasn't been raining. Players have difficulty adjusting at Wimby when coming off clay. Players have complained for years that grass season is too short. But this year's Wimby is just weird!
