I dunno - Marat's almost as heavy as Berrer, according to the stats we've reviewed today. So maybe Beaker will crack if he just gets a little more weight put on him. ;D
ETA: And Stan the Man is through, thus improving his lifetime grass court record to an impressive 3-8.

Maybe Safin can steal the Serena wig that Dancevic is sporting. It'll give him some added mojo to beat the Beak. Really though, Frank, if your hair is so annoying that you have to adjust your headband every 38 seconds, cut it OFF. Why is Fat Dave losing? Is he afraid he'll miss a second of Euro2008? Did anyone see the Ferrer match? His opponent, Stakhovsky, took an odd-looking spill in the third set and had to retire. It was ugly. Stakhovsky screamed in pain. Ferrer came running. He played two points after the injury time out, but just couldn't do it. That injury reminded me of this which is quite possibly the most horrifying tennis injury I've ever heard. Not for the faint of heart.

Dancevic is on fire in the third set. He's playing some very capable serve and volley.

Marion "Let me eat cake" Bartoli is back on Center Court, and she's got a new service motion! It looks cuh-razy. As if her old motion with her swinging on her tippy toes wasn't weird enough. In this new motion, she looks like she's doing The Wave.
Dancevic does not pull off the fluffy big hair look half as well as Guga did.

Stich's ankle sprain was much worse. There have been 4 retirements today among the men: Nishikori, HTLee, Llodra, and Stakhovsky. I was hoping Nishikori could make a run at least.

Dancevic looks too much like a girl to pull off cheerleader hair. Guga at least has somewhat masculine features.
I only had Dave through till the third round, so that's not going to kill me, but I had Karlovic through to the quarters, so I'm a little woozy from his loss today.

So Harklemole posed for Playboy...BFD. I'd do it if anyone would pay me (ha HA). But why try to sell it as this classy choice? You're posing naked for people to ogle, not for a portrait to be hung in the Louvre. Again, let me emphasize, I don't think there's anything wrong with the choice. It just seems silly to make it sound like this grave, momentous decision in which she was swayed by the sheer artistry of it all.
So when does the sun set in London at this time of year? I have to plan my days around this tournament, of course!

I feel like Ashley probably needs the money to keep playing so I'm not going to bash her for posing. I did find her interview funny-she said that she saw Amanda Beard's pictures and they were classy so she felt okay about it. And then Ashley went on to say hers were nothing like Amanda's and were more risque. Ha. I kind of want to see them, but I'm a little scared now. She still looks and sounds like a 12 year old even though she is 23.

If the light is ok, i think we're good until 9.30.
Is it Harkleroad that's married to another player? One of the Russian-Americans. Am i hallucinating that she gave the game up for a while to be a 'wife'?

Harkelroad is divorced from Russian-American player Alex Bogolomov. She did take time off after she got married. I believe she's now engaged to her coach, Chuck Adams.

Agreed, and I hope I didn't sound like I was bashing her -- I didn't mean it that way. I only wish it were one (or more!) of the male players who had chosen to pose! Come on, Safin. Youzhny. We can all think of some favorites, I guess. (Now I'm picturing Santoro wearing nothing but a mischievous grin, with a strategically placed racquet.)
