2012 Wimbledon Day 3 OoP & Discussion

OMG Maria showed usual guts to save those set points...

And i'm sure those 5 will stick in her mind!

So Li is out and I didn't even know she had taken the court. She lost to Cirstea 3 & 4 who she beat a little over a month ago 1 & 2 at the French.

Yes Sorana! So happy for her! And can anyone tell me what happened in the maria match? Last I saw Pironkova was serving for the first set and was up 30-0 i believe.

She fell apart a little...

When she had 3 more SP's on Maria's serve - Maria came up with 3 big bombs to wipe those out.

After all of those SP's, Pironkova pretty much went away in the TB..It was really too bad she was so close...

Maybe she can have better luck tomorrow to save the set and maybe the match.

Was looking at Kerber's draw. It's pretty awful.

Hradecka-Makarova-McHale-Clijsters-Sharapova-Radwanska-(Serena/Kvitova/Azarenka)?

(Assuming the favored players make it that far.) That's pretty nuts.

Facilitated by you, Moose. I'll never forget that kindness you showed me. And I still have that piece of paper she signed with her name and a heart.

::

Sidebar: almost every point between Sharapova/Pironkova ends with a winner--except when Pironkova tries a drop shot. Good stuff, at least I think so.

I remember that day! (I think). She was quite happy to write the note .

Love the Tamira win. So happy for her.
