Looks like Golf's US Open still has the mix channel on Direct TV so I guess I will have to follow matches on the scoreboard today.
Roger certainly looked dapper in his three piece outfit. He had on a vest!
James Blake is such a loser. Where's the fight, man?

Blake seems to either play well (and it all comes together) or he is off and it all goes to shit.

And ugh to Feli as well--wins the first set 6-1, loses the second 7-5 and is now about to go down 5-2.

Blake is going to murder my bracket, the git.
Robson and Dani H are in the 3rd set. Robson lost composure serving at 4-5, made 2 double faults. She's hanging on in the 3rd, but it looks like Dani will come through, it's just got that feel. Lots to be positive about and still lots for Laura to improve on. She needs to be a bit fitter i think, and her movement around the court could be better. All things that will come in time. And as i thought, this Wimbledon is probably going to be one year too early for Robson.
Maria S is back on serve too, crisis averted maybe.

Yeah, shouldn't we get one do-over when the very first match messes up your draw?
Isn't Laura Robson only like 15 years old? She was 14 last year when she won the juniors, right?
eta: ummm, LiveSport? Stop changing the channel. Granted, Roger is up two sets right now but I still want to see.

Okay, good job Roger. Now I'll watch Tsonga/Golubev since I cannot find a Feli/Beck stream. If anyone has one, please let me know.

Roger certainly looked dapper in his three piece outfit. He had on a vest! This is the one thing that truly bugs me about Federer. He needs to stop playing the dandy like he's Sharapova. It's so costumey and self-indulgent. The elaborate jacket was bad enough, but once they showed that vest? He's an athlete not a model, let him dress like one. Nike bugs me with their dumb clothes. But it bugs me even more with Federer because his on-court clothes are so traditional and then he wears some stupid costume just to walk on court. I'm already looking at him when he walks on the court, I don't need his jacket to scream it, too. Maybe this belongs in the haterade thread. And the one good thing about Blake going out in the first round? I'm guessing most people picked him to win this match...and then lose either second or third, so no great loss.

Thanks admin, but those are women--I know Feli can strike some as feminine but he isn't wearing a dress. . . yet.

THANK YOU! I'll get to see him lose, but better than nothing right now.

Ummmm, random commercial? No, it's a kid show. Hmmm, I'll have to look some more.
Phew. Found it again.
