This Shriekypova match that they are showing here is painful. I think I'm going to have to go online and find a different match.

Totally. Two not-so-good movers just bludgeoning the ball with no interesting rallies.

Welcome back tiki!
I'm watching Monfils and Schiavone online. She's tied at a set each; he's down a set and a break. Is Gael having physical problems?

He was having some problems with his back towards the end of his final at Kooyong.

Already annoyed by Gilbert.

Yes. It took about 5 minutes to be annoyed by him. Also Kubot's cheering section is starting to get on my nerves. Like Kubot though.

breezy, thanks for reminding me--Kubot's cheering section were the horrible people in London with the chanting and noisemakers.
You guys aren't the only ones already annoyed by Gilbert. With Monfils down two sets and a break Gilbert said something stupid about it now being the time to come back to which Fowler asked "and how is he going to do that?" with all the sarcasm imaginable dripping from his voice. He also said something earlier when Gilbert said something idiotic about Querrey needing to show some excitement about winning a serve game.
Did you guys hear Isner talk about how he and Mahut have become good buddies after their Wimbledon match last year? I'm such a sucker for that sort of thing, makes that marathon all that much more worthwhile to me.
eta: heh, Fowler just out-and-out interrupted Gilbert to ask Cahill's opinion on the Querrey-Kubot possible outcome.

After all my crowing about all the great feeds there would be this fortnight, I'm somehow completely unable to get onto the ESPN website, all the feeds I can find look like they were painted by Claude fucking Monet. And I can't find ANY feeds of the Woz/Dulko match. Balls!!

Thanks, fala and roseha, it's good to be here! I have missed all of you guys, and tennis as well. Stupid life! Now I just have to readjust to not getting any sleep for the next few weeks. You all will make it worthwhile, though! Okay, so who's ready to stay up all night with me for two weeks?!

Thanks breezy. I checked them all before, and they were all taking me to the Monfils match, but they seem to be working now.

It's like Wozniacki is wearing a pleated lamp shade for a skirt.

Pathetic competitiveness from Querrey. Fish looked like he was coming back against Hanescu, but now is on serve in the fourth after losing the first two sets. Way to go, Gael, for coming back, you humongous (but appealing) headcase, you.
And Davydenko is about to go down two sets to one against Florian Mayer. Come on, Davy!!!!

I'm dissapointed there is no stream for the Kohlschreiber/Kamke match. I watched Kamke play Ferrer last week and he is really impressive.
