Wimbledon '10: Point by point coverage

[tikigirl]

I want the commentators to shut the fuck up anytime. The only remarkable thing about this match is its length. Otherwise it's like goddamn Sominex.

Snagging myself some late night talk show appearances.

Heh. I wonder if they even have a clue what is going on. They must know the crowd has grown but are they too much in the zone? Is this sucker going to get called for darkness--it's 7pm, how late do they play on the outer courts?

Meanwhile, over on Court 1--is Roger playing pretty blah? Or is Bozoijac playing well? I'm starting to wonder if Fed is going to make it out of the first week.

[agentx]

It's a mix of Federer not playing all that great, and Bozoljac having a good serving day.

I think it's clear there today so they have until 9:00 - 9:30.

I'm curious to see when I get home how much of this was shown on television. It sounds horribly painful to watch.

It sounds horribly painful to watch.

Nah, it's kind of entertaining in its own way.

Sucks that poor lighting is starting to affect the line calls. Don't want the match to be decided on that.

I am rooting for Mahut because he has always had a nice grass game and from what I have heard is a nice dude. He is much lower ranked and this could be the highlight of the career for him.

[mooncreek]

Either way, Mahut will now be known to casual fans. Isner already has being so tall and beating Roddick at the US Open to fall back on.

[lt]

They should declare a draw and have them play their next opponent as Australian Doubles.

[tikigirl]

Federer is making me extremely nervous.

[lt]

Let's start thinking about the poor people in the stands. They can't get up because they'd never get back in--they've been sitting there for five and a half hours. I hope they used the restroom before they sat down.

[mooncreek]

lt - On that note, let's think about Kleybanova and Kudryavtseva. They were the next match on 18 and have finally been moved to Court 17 to start.

[breezybee]

Who's the Umpire for the Mahut/Isner match?

[skyz]

Serena is on Court 2 tomorrow which shouldn't be surprising but it is.

Someone better win this fucking match! Why isn't John being more aggressive? I know he's dead tired but he's got to do something here. I think he'll crack and lose serve and the match.

[oopssorry]

Did Mary C fall asleep? Because she seemed incredibly disoriented there. Nice of Killer not to go ape-shit on her mis-calls. I wonder what kind of non-verbals he was giving her - because she self-corrected both of them.

Now we get soccer. Switching to the scoreboard for the completion.

Who's the Umpire for the Mahut/Isner match?

The incomparable Mohamed Lahyani.

Now we get soccer.

I think ESPNU (if your cable system has it) was picking up the tennis after ESPN2 switched to soccer. Oh, and they've been adding ESPNU to a lot of cable systems so even if you think you don't have it--you might now.
