ANDREW JARRETT - REFEREE

[Madame]

what's hapenning with Nieminen ???

[James7]

what's hapenning with Nieminen ???

Not really anything. Baker is just good. Very good.

[Doc_P]

You have to love the BBC (on ESPN 3)
I am watching the Simon-Malisse match. A highly entertaining match; high quality.

One of the commentators spots Dick Norman in the stands.

" Dick Norman over thre. Fellow Belgian. 6'9' I think. Big Dick."

followed by prolonged silence. Hilarious.

Brits make wonderful commentators. They don't feel the need to fill up every second between points with chatter, and they feel free to throw in some barbs and sassy criticism of players.

john inverdale is the worst. he puts his foot in it so often you have to wonder whether he does it on purpose

[jlhct]

OMG Maria 3 DF's in the TB!

[liam_valid]

maria decided to give pironkova another 5 set point head start before actually making a serve

[Martini4me]

Go Tsvetana! Knock her out!!


(From Jon Wertheim on twitter: "Sharapova's service toss recalls a cow on ice juggling")

[Synth]

Gotta admit. I'm a sucker for Brian Baker! Woohoo! Thrilled that he pulled it out in straights.

[TennisBen21]

Poor Pironkova, apparently she only had 2 sets worth of tennis in her. If she had taken any of those opportunities in the first set we very well might have been having a very different conversation right now.

[morct]

Cornet has a black bra and shorts on under her white dress. Classy.

[MeganFernandez]

Cornet has a black bra and shorts on under her white dress. Classy.

Maybe she's trying to offer something extra and justify her equal prize money.

Maybe she is!
