Brad Scott may like them closing the roof due to the rain today.

How long to clean the outside courts from all the overnight rain, dont think much is coming behind it now so should be almost delay free once they get underway

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

RLA day
Strycova v Garcia
S.Williams v Gibbs
Dimitrov v Gasquet

Going tomorrow - praying the schedulers have a bout of delirium and put Nadal v Zverev and Konta v Wozniacki on during the day.

You never know...unlikely but there could be a slim chance they swap the sessions of Nadal/Zverev for Dimitrov/Gasquet.

Zverev is obviously well known by people who watch tennis but the "two week of the year tennis fan average punter" wouldn't recognise him walking down the street.

You going to watch Dasha mate? Seems like you are a Dash fan

You could say that makes no-sense or it's nonsense that it's happening

Have RLA day tickets so only if they put her on centre court.

I don't think I could watch her live anyway; it's like a rollercoaster.

You can still go onto Hisense/outside courts with RLA tix...

Oh man, really? Shows how long it's been since I rocked up.

Will see how the schedule pans out then, I certainly don't want to watch Gibbs v Serena so I might sneak across.

Yep! Would be a much better match. You can't go onto MCA with RLA tix though...

First real test of federer's form, think he will win but only because berdych isnt at the level anymore to beat him. Hasnt beaten a real highly ranked player for a while from what i can recall. Theres only 3 or 4 players that will beat fed if they play eachother berdych isnt 1 of them.

Neither is Federer. He's looked pretty average, he was lucky to not drop a set last round.

Bouchard time!

I love watching Genie!

I'm hoping Vanders puts her in her place. CoCo's got some serious attitude (and can hit a mean ball).

EDIT: But if she starts smashing racquets again, I'll quickly switch back to Genie.

 

[ChookMFC]

Loving CoCo's interview. She's a good character.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Genie's outfit...well um...

Lets just say at least you can safely say the puppies will be there!

Are you complaining?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Are you complaining?

No lol.

I love watching her.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

come on bouchard

 

[rippersnipper]

Coco looks ****ing maniacal

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

That top Genie is wearing is awful; high neck and sleeves with a cropped bottom that shows her midriff? Looks like something Rizzo would wear in Grease. Kind of looks uncomfortable too.
