I was riding high on that win by Genie until she was asked in her post game interview that if she could date anyone in the world who would it be and she said 'Justin Beiber'. :( :-? :cry:

He just cannot close out his service games at all, it's probably going to cost him this match.

EDIT: I stand corrected, that was a great hold!

Is there ever a Wawrinka game that is, like, boring? Guy only rests after 4 hour work.

Radwanska entered god mode in that last set. Some of the shots she has been able to track down and make have been unbelievable. Bageled Azarenka in the final set.

Aggie with some amazing shots. Vika GTFO. My goodness what a b* tch. Also, Chris Evert is a complete dumbass.

Wished the men's matches weren't at such a bad time over here

ESPN needs to overhaul their women commentators. Mary Jo Fernandez is fine but Chris Evert and Pam Shriver are horrible and whoever that other lady is on the desk knows absolutely nothing about tennis.

People in the tennis world have been talking about him for 3 or 4 years now as the next big thing. Looks like he is finally realizing some of that potential.

I do think he's going to get a lesson in what it takes to beat one of the top guys though. I don't see Rafa dropping another set.
