Carillo is really cutting up today.
"While we were waiting through Jelena Jankovic's match, Serena Williams came through, Jesse Levine came through, Justine Henin came through . . . Lindsay Davenport's whole pregnancy happened . . ."
PS. If you are lucky enough to have ESPN360 or the Ausopen coverage, please feel free to keep us all informed about the matches that we're not getting to see. It's good to at least here about what's going on.

I noticed they have some Australian guy doing the dramatic voiceovers that Dick Enberg usually does. Is Enberg covering football or something? (That would be good news to me).
This is the first match so I give them some leeway, but if Mary Jo and Pam keep up the personal baby talk, I'm going to get annoyed.

It's good to see Lukas Dlouhy wearing a hat instead of that ridiculous topknot ponytail he's been sporting on-and-off for the past few months.

Sure falafaclese...
Tommy came back against being down two sets to Zverev to in 7-5 in the fifth set. Great atmosphere in the fifth set- with a bunch of vocal (but not obnoxious) fans of both players.
Tsonga is still up a break against Murray. He is hitting the lines pretty well and has some nice volleys from what I have seen. I am surprised he does not have more support in the crowd. I am astounded by Murray's hair- he most have the same stylist as Spadea. ETA- it is now on serve. I am still surprised though that Tsonga- a pretty likeable underdog- has not gotten really any support from the crowd- even by the neutrals.
Since it looks like they are showing Roddick right now on ESPN tv (why do they always shaft Lindsay) she was down a break in the second but they are now on serve.
And from the ESPN website- here are the list of the internet providers who have 360 in case anyone is interested

Well lookie there...Andy Murray lost the first set. Tsonga got broken back late, but he broke back again and served it out.
I don't who will win, and I don't care enough to stay up late and find out (8 AM class tomorrow).

Lindsay lost the second set. Why are they not showing her match on tv?
Whyisthrerungone- Sadly- I do care enough...hee! I like both Murray and Tsonga and was looking forward to this match. But I am on Central and usually come into work between 9-10.

Lindsay lost the second set 6-3. I wonder if that foot problem they were discussing is becoming more and more a factor as the match goes on.

Dammit, ESPN2 is stuck showing a boring Roddick match, so I don't know how Davenport's playing. Anyone with ESPN360 have a report? Sharapova's gotta be really happy right now.

Between Lindsay and Murray, this is getting painful. These were the two I was rooting for at AO.

Davenport came back to win it! Her movement isn't great, but it's good enough. If her foot holds up, she should be a threat to Sharapova.

Thanks for the ESPN 360 advice everyone but of course overpriced Time Warner Cable in Manhatten won't give it to me.
Glad that JJ won! How's it going with Murray and Tsonga?

Lindsay pulls it out. Whew.
Bring on Maria (likely), I really want that to be a day match, but I doubt it.

Murray/Tsonga: Tsonga won the first two sets 7-5 6-4. Murray's ahead 5-0 in the 3rd. Screws loose.
