OOooops, it's back on. Never mind.

Juanqui gets his five first serves in last service game and was down a break point and got broken.

Juanqui actually playing well and Murray is just too damn good so far.

Btw, Tennis.tv is a serious ripoff. I don't pay to see a frozen screen. I can go to a free site for that nonsense.

arghhh, can't find a working stream for Sveta-Kim...

Greenhopper - thanks for your match calling!

Same to rafadoc and tfactor.

Jenni,
Thanks for that.

I'm glad Flavia won, she was definitely the better player today. I don't know what the stats are, but I'm sure Flavia had more winners than Vee.

Mwhahahaha...Lestat gives Mosquito a breadstick. Who's the bigger bloodsucker, baby?

"Greenhopper - thanks for your match calling!"

Tfactor,
Thanks for the match call on the ATP. Appreciate it as I went to lunch.

Kimmie on court getting ready to serve. *anticipates first split*

Why am I not surprised by the scoreline in Dani-Vera? Davai, Verochka!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Ferrero got served a bread stick in the 1st set

Pspace will be happy.

anyone knows a stream in Chinese or any other language for Sveta-Kim? :-))) the links on atdhe.com and fromsport.com are blocked at my work... :-(((((((((

AM, hehe, see my post @2:10. Yes, indeed. Muzz is playing unbelievable. Ferrero doesn't even know how to win a point...let alone a game.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2009 Montreal Champion.

DAVAI, Sveta!!!!!!!

Vera broke back for 2-2
Davai!

Sauce fights off BP with monster FH. 1-1 Deuce.

link for Venus?

Verdasco is misfiring from both wings. Stick a fork in this guy.

Pspace, if I were you, I wouldn't jinx it. :-)

Nice start from Kim, dictating with FH, good serving, gets 2 BPs after holding at 15 in the first game, Sveta saves both with serve-FH combo and great kick second serve, but then makes two bad UEs. Kim 2-0

Watched Roddick play the TB against Sauce. Nice pick-up volley. 8% fluke, but still. Every time I watch him and JMdP, it feels like the gap to the big 4 are closing. On current form, I'd prolly rate both of them above Novak.

Sokol: This one works in the UK for Kimmie and Sveta
http://atdhe.net/7920/watch-wta-cincinnati-clijsters-vs-kuznetsova

oh, Sauce. How many BPs can you really fight off?

thank you, Lira vega, for match calls from Sveta-Kim match... greatly appreciated here. Keep them coming, please.

lollipop, good point :-D. Silence till Sunday.

Sauce holds (barely). 2-1.

oops! Just noticed you are blocked at work sokol - sorry

"Sokol: This one works in the UK for Kimmie and Sveta"

it keeps reloading for me, but no picture... I guess it has something to do with my company's internet use restrictions, grrrrr

Kim is looking awesome so far. Better than I dared to hope.

hot damn. she can still run like the wind and hit nice forehands.
Kimmie holds for 3-0.

Kim out rallying Sveta from the backcourt. Second serve looks a bit shaky, one double plus one second serve that bounce off the net into the service box in this game

"Just noticed you are blocked at work sokol - sorry"

yeah :-(((, anyway, thanks, Vuvu

haha nice, pspace. and btw, i do agree with u about JMDP and Randy being above novak based on current form. The only place where nole has an edge over these guys, is clay. I know that if Roddick makes it through, Nole is gonna have a tough match on his hands. Hopefully, there wont be a repeat of IW '09. *shudders*

Sveta's game is off at the moment and Kim is doing her usual thing - running down balls and keeping the ball in play

She is incredibly fast and she looks quite fit. The problem unfortunately was never with Kim physically, it was always all about her head

hello roosters and hens
well my tennis summer nightmare continues....more lackluster play from Venus
( not to take anything away from Flava, she served well and was crafty and consistent)
I've been in recovery since Roddicks loss at Wimby...
but the arrival of champagne Kimmie is a welcome relief....

"Sveta's game is off at the moment"

:-((((((
I was worried about that... Come on, Sveta!

Sveta's on the borad finally...

Sveta moving Kim from side to side using her forehand and draws a backhand error from Kim, 0-15

"borad"="board"

*waves hello*

Thank you very much for the match calls on Kim/Sveta.

Does anyone need a match call for Roddick/Verdasco? I'm happy to offer my services. :)

Just saw the legendary split - damn she still has that

I wonder if some1 has collected stats on this. In the games that go deuce-ad, deuce-ad, deuce-ad...if the server is a lefty, is it more likely that he'll lose the points at deuce...giving an inflated BP saved number. Seems like Rafa and Nando are always facing and saving BPs...while other guys are failing to covert game points.

AmyLu - you're hired.

Caroline Wozniacki advances as Melinda Czink retires down 0-3

Kimmie is the original JJ. With a better serve.

Sveta being more aggressive than at the start of the match, making some UEs, but prolly bodes a bit better for on a whole her than letting Kim yank her around the court
First split!!! But Sveta wins the point on a super volley
At deuce on Kim's serve Sveta with monster I/O FH, but Kim gets it back for a bad FH UE from Sveta.
And Kim holds after missed return

bad luck for Mellinda, I hope she's OK and it's not serious

Hi Amylu nice to see you again finally.

@greenhopper that is so true - which is quite the ironical statement, seeing as how Kim was never known for having an effective serve. Her movement and foot speed were really her trademark. Those and the split. It would look really bad if Kim beat Sveta today. Man, I can see the headlines now

Roddick serving at 2-3

Roddick hits a gorgeous FH DTL for a winner 15-0

Verdasco takes a second serve return early and cracks a BH return winner 15-15

Very good serve by Andy, Verdasco barely gets a racket on it 30-15

Good first serve down the T by Roddick, elicits a short reply -- doesn't quite hit through his FH enough and gives Verdasco a shot at a BH pass, but he nets it 40-15

Good FH winner by Roddick

Roddick holds, now 3-3

AmyLu, yes please on match calls! Thanks

I wonder where Avid is,havent heard from her in ages.

Dani will serve to stay in the match at 4-5
davai, Vera!

Ummm, a day after beating Ana in 2 tight sets, Czink retires against Caro after trailing 0-3.

Verdasco serves out wide, Roddick's return nowhere near the court 15-0

Wow, second serve ace out wide by Verdasco. 30-0

Roddick gets really good depth on a BH, lands at Verdasco's feet, and his reply goes long 30-15

Verdasco hits a well-angled short FH off a low return by Roddick 40-15

Big serve leads to a very weak reply, and hammers a FH for a winner

Verdasco holds, 4-3

Does anyone know who composed the music for that Rolex ad featuring Roger playing in a suit.

where will Ana be ranking wise after this week's loss?

Aussiemarg,
I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully Avid will turn up for Serena's match today.

OK my Sveta/Kim stream just died.

Hi AM :) Hope you are doing well!

Roddick serving:

In a brief exchange of BHs, Roddick's stays steady and Verdasco's not so much. Very poor UFE out wide 15-0

Verdasco decides against a BH and puts himself in position to hit a FH winner 15-15

Good serve out wide by Roddick, Verdasco reply into net 30-15

Good serve up the T by Roddick 40-15

Roddick gets a weak return and puts away a CC FH for a winner

Roddick holds, 4-4

JCF has managed to find a way to hold. Murray's level has dropped a tad...with some UFEs. But, he's still serving well. JCF needs to find a way to get into Muzz's service games...pronto....or not.

Sokol,
If Flavia loses tomorrow, Ana and Flavia will be tied for 10th but if Flavia wins tomorrow, Ana will be 11th.

Sveta holds mostly with good serves plus one UE from Kim, 4-2

Kim serving, at 30-0 up, two wild FHs, but then an inch-perfect FH DTL followed up by drive volley to the open court gets her game point.
Now Sveta at the net, Kim's attempted at goes long, deuce
BH to the net on a second shot and it's BP for Sveta and she takes it after Kim misses FH DTL under pressure. Kim missed first serves on last three points in that game

Master Ace,
Who does Flavia play tomorrow?

what language are the commentators speaking on the from-sport feed for the kuzzie-kimmie match?

links for Venus!

Nevermind, she plays winner of Bepa-Dani.

Verdasco serving:

Beautiful FH winner by Verdasco (almost DTL from his BH corner) 15-0

Verdasco with an ace out wide 30-0

Verdasco decides against a challenge after M tells him it looks wide and Roddick says he doesn't know on the first serve -- Verdasco hammers a FH DTL for a winner 40-0

Good serve out wide, Roddick's return not on the court

Verdasco holds, 5-4

thank you, MA

testpro account,
You missed the Venus match. It ended about 20 minutes ago. Consider yourself lucky, it wasn't pretty.

Nice to hear Fowler, Gilbert and Killer call the match. Like these guys. New blood.

Sveta broke back for 3-4? whohoo! Davai!

wait a minute..... a BP for Kim again, come on, Sveta, hold, please!
Davai!

Andy....please don't get broken...

Sveta holds for 4-4. Nice! There are you go, girl. Davai!!!

"If Flavia loses tomorrow, Ana and Flavia will be tied for 10th but if Flavia wins tomorrow, Ana will be 11th."

How on earth you do that just like that? Time to come clean and admit which model of the T2000 you are.

*bows to MA*

Off air again. Any alternative links?

Sveta totally in charge of baseline exchanges now, points ending after her shots, Kim's gonna need to step up.
And she does, goes from 30-15 to 30-40 with aggressive play ending with drive volleys, but FH UE, good serve from Sveta and very nice slice from difficult position and it's 4-4

Dani is serving at 5-6 trying to force the TB
Davai, Vera, derzhis'!

Dammit all. Beating Verdasco used to be a sure thing.

I don't feel good about this 3rd set. If Roddick loses that's the 2nd straight year going out in the 3rd round...and this will have been his worst tournament of the year.

we are going to a third set!! :) Way to force the deciding set Hott Sauce, now win it!!

Roddick serving:

Verdasco gets good length on return and gets a short ball from Roddick -- hits a FH winner off it 0-15

Roddick nets a BH -- Verdasco hit a pretty good FH return off the second serve, but that's a BH Roddick normally makes 0-30

Beautiful point construction by Verdasco -- draws Roddick in on a sliced BH, drags Roddick in, and passes him with a BH 0-40

Roddick tries to get too cute, IMO. After pushing Verdasco back (and I think he should stuck to moving him side to side), he tries a drop shot, which Verdasco gets to -- Roddick hits Verdasco's reply, but hits it right to Verdasco who hits the ball into the open court

Verdasco breaks and wins the set 6-4

Wow -- Verdasco breaks to take the second set 6-4. The last few games were very, very strong from him.

"we are going to a third set!! :) Way to force the deciding set Hott Sauce, now win it!!"

whohoo!
Vamos!

Kim at 39% of first serves in per my understanding of Bulgarian or Macedonian commie prolly explains why she's struggling to get the upper hand in the rallies. She threw in one DF at the start of this game, but gets away with it after UEs from Kuz and holds

Wow! Muzz is just putting on an exhibition now. Yanking JCF all over the court to set up MP, and he takes it with a passer, as JCF was unlucky to hit the tape with the approach. 6-1 6-3.

Congrats to fellow Muzz fans. Commiserations to JCF fans.

Vamos 'Nando!:)
Thanks Amy Lu for the match calls, you are doing a great job! Much appreciated.

I'm back.
I see Verdasco gave me my wish and we have a third set.

Murray takes the match by breaking JCF again. He wins 6-1, 6-3

Congrats to MAndy, that sounds like a very good performance.

Commiserations to Ferrero and his fans. He had some good wins...

What a dominant performance from Muzz. Clearly the strongest in the field as of now, though i'm not really able to evaluate Roger's and Rafa's game atm. But the scot has got a really good chance.

TB for Vera
*worried*....

Davai!

Sorry for any typos -- I'm trying to type quickly, and I noticed my grammar has gone off in places.

Verdasco serves to start the third:

Verdasco was in control of the point, moving Roddick around with his FH, and then makes a poor UFE wide with his FH 0-15

Excellent defense by Roddick (most done with his BH), and Verdasco with another poor error -- tries to hit a BH DTL for an outright winner and misses 0-30

This time Verdasco connects on a BH DTL and draws an error from Andy 15-30

Great serve out wide by Verdasco -- Roddick almost gets an OH by Verdasco back in play 30-30

Another good serve out wide by Verdasco -- short reply, and hits a FH CC for a winner 40-30

Ace down the T

Verdasco holds, 1-0

Damn you to hell, Nando. You're serving first in the decider, try to make use of it.

Apparently I can't trust the scoreboard. It went from 15-40 to 15-30 to game Verdasco in the space of 10 seconds.

Gonzo and Davy up next on BN.

Good hold for Verdasco to start the third set

Kuz serving to stay in the set
2nd serve, Kim attacks it with BH DTL, Sveta pulls BH CC wide 0-15
Kim with the fH long 15-15
Kim attacks another second serve, this time FH CC, Sveta nets FH DTL on the run 15-30
another missed first serve and really bad FH UE from Sveta, 2 set points for Kim
missed first sreve, Kim dictating with FH, Sveta recovers nicely with wrong footing FH CC and then hits BH winner
But nets relatively easy BH in the next point. Set Kim

ferrero played top 7-8 player quality tennis.

And Murray just too good, even tho his first serve sucked for the first set and a half.

In the last 5-8 years, the only hard court tennis I've seen that would have beat Murray today is Federer at his best or Roddick serving absolutely lights out.

If Murray keeps this level thru the U.S. Open, noone beating him unless Federer recaptures his 2006-07 form.

well well well indeed - Clijsters takes 1st set against world no6! lol

If Kolya goes through today, he'll face MAndy tomorrow. I hope I'll have a stream for that. Their H2H is 4-4...
