Fed vs. Hewitt

Another routine match for Roger?

I'm looking foward to today's Fed v. Hewitt match. Anyone know what time it's scheduled for?

This Oudin-Sharapova match was ridiculously gross. Sharapova had 21 double faults LOL. Oudin had twice as many errors as winners, but she does have a pretty good backhand slice, though she should hit it deeper.

Anyway, I still

Sharapova.

Ha! Oudin's mom is like, "In six months we're going to be millionaires!"

I am too, and it was painful to watch because if not for the complete uselessness of Maria's serve, it wouldn't have even been close. First set would've been a bagel, thing would've been over in about an hour. Oudin's serve is almost as bad as Sharapova's and she doesn't have an injury to complain about, she needs to work on getting it consistently above 100 to at least have a chance. Even a discouraged, negative Maria still broke her, what, 3 or 4 times in that last set? Well, guess I'm pulling for Clijsters and Hantuchova to take out the Williamses... tall order.

Fed looked terrible today. Worst match since... well since the last time he was shanking everything and broke that racket against Novak.

Yeah I agree. Federer didn't look too sharp.

And in other news. Wow. Roddick. LULZ. What a choke.

Roddick didn't play badly, particularly not in the 2nd half of the match. He just got beat. A guy with a serve like Isner has an outside chance against anyone on any given day. Do you think Verdasco will walk all over him? I wouldn't count on it.

I don't know about fun. Sharapova's grunting squeal is freakin' annoying. I started watching "Escape from Alcatraz" with Clint Eastwood because I couldn't take it any more.

+1, quite to the contrary. Roddick held serve incredibly well, and Isner was playing a little better and going to the net. I hate Roddick but he has gotten so much better since the weight loss. He showed some soft hands that no one had seen from him before.
