Re: Tennis anyone?
Novak was serving for the 4th set but couldn't close the deal. Federer rallies from 4-5 down to win in a tiebreak, 7-5. Epic match.

Re: Tennis anyone?
I believe he lost the match when he lost the first set. When he followed that up by losing the 2nd, he basically put himself in an impossible position. I wonder if winning the quarterfinal in a walkover ****ed him up.
Re: Tennis anyone?
The second set surely has been strange. Nadal up a break early, Federer rallied to tie it at 4-all only to be broken immediately after, and then he broke Nadal after a 5 minute rain delay and now leads the set 6-5.
...and of course, Nadal held serve easily to force a tie-breaker, and Federer played one of the worst tie-breakers I've ever seen - drilling a weak 80-something mph second serve into the net and failing big-time on an overhand at the net.
Looks like this one won't go more than three sets - Federer is probably emotionally down/dead after screwing up royally with late leads in both sets.

Re: Tennis anyone?
Isner will play Mahut in a first round rematch from last year.
Is this a random draw?

Re: Tennis anyone?
Isner made short work of Mahut this year. Venus is down a set against Date-Krumm. All other matches are in rain delay.
Ana Ivanovic beat Oudin 6-0 6-1 and seems to have a cake walk into the 3rd round when she'll likely play #13 Radwaska. If she gets past that, it's hard to see a way she gets by #3 Li Na. The women's draw is wide open this year with both Williams sisters, Li Na coming off the French Open, Sharapova at the top of her game and world #1 Wozniacki lurking. There's also #2 Zvonereva, #4 Azarenka, and #6 Schiovone. The men's draw is pretty much Nadal and the winner of the Djokovic/Federer match.

Re: Tennis anyone?
The #3 seed and French Open champion Li Na just got ousted 8-6 in the third set by German Sabine Lisicki. Na led 5-3 and had two match points on Lisicki's serve but was unable to seal the deal. That opens the door for #18 Ana Ivanovic as the only seeded player in her part of the draw. She won't face a seed until the QF when she's likely to run into #7 Serena, #9 Bartoli, #21 Pennetta or #26 Kirolenko.
The Sharapova and Wozniacki matches are delayed until tomorrow. Federer is about to take Centre Court. Isner is 3 games from defeat vs #16 seed Almagro.

Re: Tennis anyone?
And worse, Brooklyn was wearing a very conservative outfit today
Maria and Wozniacki both won.
Matches are suspended at the moment because of rain. Rafa fought off two set points but won the first set 8-6 in a tiebreak; #4W Azarenka leads #32W Hantuchova 2-1 in the third set; #9M Monfils is tied with his challenger a set apiece, 3-3 in the third.
Among those in action later (weather permitting) include local hero #4M Murray and America's last hope, #10M Fish.

Re: Tennis anyone?
As a tennis player, Ivanovic makes a good fashion model. In 2008 she beat Petra Cetkovska 6-0 6-0...today she lost 6-2 7-6 (7-0 in the tiebreaker). Wozniacki, Sharapova and Azareka advanced, #32 Pironkova upset #2 Zvonereva and Pervak upset #11 Petkovic. Serena is winning her match. Schiavone is in the 3rd set trailing 3-2 in a suspended match from yesterday.
Nadal won in straight sets, #10 Fish is the last American left in the Men's draw. Federer and Djokovich are on court today.

Re: Tennis anyone?
Looks like Serena's back in a groove. That is very bad news for the rest of the field.
Schiavone and Paszek in a marathon match. It is now 9-9 in the 3rd set.
...and Paszek upsets Schiavone.
BTW, she may have the biggest rack in the field. Even bigger than Goerges'.

Schiavone upset by Paszek, 11-9 in the third. Neither player had a match point until the end. Both players were two points from the match repeatedly, but always lost that crucial point.

Re: Tennis anyone?
5 unseeded women and 4 unseeded men have made the final 16. At least two QF on both sides will be unseeded as the draw works out so they face each other in the R16. If Nadia Petrova upsets #4 seed Azarenka it is guaranteed that an unseeded woman will make the SF.

Wozniacki was cruising to victory, winning the first set 6-1 in just 24 minutes. Then Cibulkova won the second set 7-5 in the tiebreaker and just won the third set 7-5 to advance to the Quarters. Venus is down a set, on serve at 2-3 in the second.
