Never date a tennis player - love means nothing to them. vol.2

[Alex Forrest]

Roddick challenging his own serve because Ferrer hit a winner off of it. The serve was in, of course.

Stay classy, Andy.

Is that true? I've never heard of a player challenging a call to make their shot OUT. I'll have to YT search. That's pretty funny. ARod is such an AHole that I'm glad he lost. This is probably his last season also.

Matt Cronin tweeted about it and it was shown on ESPN:

^Congrats guys!

Just re: Shvedova and her golden set. I remember watching her live a few years ago at the Birmingham tournament and seriously wondering why she hadn't achieved more in her singles career because she was so f*ckin good. Really one of those players I had to see in person to truly appreciate. So glad to see her having a wonderful few months!

So can Murray finish the set in 12 minutes? If not they come back on Monday to finish the match!!

[Judge Dred]

Murray leading 2 sets to 1, and 3-0 in the 4th set

[Lorac]

11pm - but with Murray about to serve for the match they are allowing him to try to serve it out!!

[Judge Dred]

Murray wins in 4 sets

[Lorac]

I've never seen anybody try to beat the clock like that

[jenny12]

Good that Murray was able to finish the match. I think Baghdatis was helping a bit in the plight to beat the clock.

I get the feeling Roddick won't be back - I sensed some kind of farewell at the end of that match.

I get the feeling Roddick won't be back - I sensed some kind of farewell at the end of that match.

I can easily see him retiring after the US Open. He needs to, his attitude is tiring. It must take a lot of energy to be such a little bitch.

^it would explain why his serve and FH have slowed down over the years.

[OnyxRose81]

I hate middle Sunday. I am so bored and have nothing to watch. I hate that Wimbledon doesn't allow play on Sunday.

[Rottie]

OnyxRose, I feel a similar petulance. But then I look at Monday's OOP and feel mostly better.

[BigB08822]

I have always hated it, especially when I have work and that Sunday is one of the few days I can dedicate to watching tennis all morning long.

I picked Shvedova to upset Serena, and - having lost the first 6-1 - she is about to serve for the second at 5-2. Interesting.

Schiavone has the first set against Kvitova 6-4. Petra is 0/10 on BPs and is being her usual streaky, frustrating self.

Youzhny currently cruising against Istomin by a set and a break. He has lost 6 (six!) fourth tounds at Wimbledon, never advancing to the QF. Now is his chance.

[Loves_Shizuka]

And it's one set-all Serena-Shvedova Yari is playing so well!

[Loves_Shizuka]

Paszek beats Vinci 6-2 6-2! Defending her QF points Well done! Love watching her.

[Loves_Shizuka]

I know I'm talking to myself, but hey...

Malisse serving for the first set vs Federer.

4-3 to Shvedova final set aganst Serena.

Lisicki led Sharapova 5-2 but that has inevitably been cut to 5-4.

Youzhny led Istomin 6-4 4-2... completely gone off the boil since. one set all.

[Loves_Shizuka]

Lisicki 6 - 4 Sharapova

Federer 7 - 6 Malisse - Malisse served for the set at 6-5, lost his serve easily and then won one point in the TB

Serena serving to stay in the tournament...
