What a match between Wozniacki/Kuznetsova! My girl battled through that second set, down 4-1 in the set and already down a set. I would've been sad if Caroline lost on a day that Ana Ivanonic lost and course Maria Kirilenko losing yesterday.

I can't believe the Federer match is going to be played tonight! LOL I hope Federer wins and that it won't be a close one because I do not want to stay up to watch it.

Yeah, that Djokovic/Dolgopolov first set tie-break was amazing!

You might just get your wish...5-0 Federer already...lol

Some times it really does suck being at work lol. Even with the Aust Open.

But at the moment we have a great boss that lets us have the TV on in the Conference Room during our summer as long as there are no meetings lol.

But he is retiring about Jan of next year so we will need to train a new boss lol.

That's a nice boss you have....I hope Roger wins quickly too cause I have work in the morning...lol...if this drags on I will have to DVD the rest of his match and watch it tomorrow.

They pimp Fish because he's American lol. The American Tennis Media for 15 years were used to having two Americans in the top 5 winning grand slam after grand slam (Agassi and Sampras). The, Roddick came along and looked to be the next best thing... well he tanked, is now out of the top 20 and Fish has been consistent enough to get a top 10 ranking. Its no surprise he's focused on alot, at the US Open.

The media does the same thing here when the Australian Open is on.

Australian hopes rest on the shoulders of insert name here to become the first mens/womens winner since whom ever it was.

And they do it to get better ratings. Most Americans will want to watch an American win, rather than a non-American.

Funny you should mention ratings. This years French Open final between Federer and Nadal was highly ranked. I don't know how well the Djokovic vs Nadal Wimbledon final did but I do get that they want to pimp the americans so the ratings can go up. I mean really..all the pimping Donald Young is getting in the US Open is absurd. Again like Fish he has accomplished even less.

If I were the ESPN commentators and CBS ones minus Mary Carrillo...I would worry about women's tennis. It's on a big downslide. The Women's final of the French Open this year did very poorly in the ratings.

If there is one thing that really peeve's me off when watching a sport of any sort is bias commentary.

It is like there is only one person on the court or one team out on the ground/field, and 9 times out of 10 it is the other side lol.

They go on about what they need to do better what part of their game they need to pick up and I would scream at the TV hey what about my side and how they are going. Which is most proberly the reason why I would prefer to watch Tennis matches that involve Aussie's with no sound on.

The absence of the Williams sisters is no coincidence. The women's game has been built around those two the last decade and no other player has shown to be very consistently good, and there is no other rising American which does not help either. Serena appears to be coming back to form rather quickly and barring any other injuries, she probably has a good 3 or 4 years left where she will be a perennial grand slam contender. Venus however, I think may be finished especially after being diagnosed with these disease.

Sucks for the bottom half the men's side - they gotta play 4 matches in 4 days! And Nadal is in that half.

Well, the final was Li Na vs Francesca Schiavone. LOL

Already talking up a Stosur/Williams final.

Didn't they play in the Canadian Open final?

Ugh...Andy Roddick won...just UGH.......

Yay! for John Isner winning!!

Didn't they play in the Canadian Open final?

Yeah, and Serena pretty much rolled over her.

That's what I thought. I wasnt sure if it was in the finals or semifinals. Glad Stosur is doing well in the tournament. Who the hell is her opponent...?...lol Never heard of her before...lol

I would think his little mini comeback will stop at Nadal's feet? Maybe not with some questions surrounding Nadal's health?
