Stosur and Clijsters have played five games in the third set and all of them have been breaks. Eight of the last nine have been breaks.

Does someone want to win this thing?

Clijsters wins 6-3 in the third, Stosur never once held serve.

Yeah, apparently. Dialed it up on ESPN3. ESPN once again makes a mistake by not showing the better match going on right now.

That was the sickest match ever. So much heart from both players.

Lopez is absolutely dumbfounded right now during Rafa's service games so far (only two, but still).

I'm gonna need Lopez to pull his head out of his a** so I don't end tonight with a dud of a match.

Cool of Rafa to join the guys in the commentary booth for the beginning of Djokovic/Monfils. I feel like we don't get to see the casual side of Rafa often enough. He gave some of his own insights and takes on the matchup too, it seems like his English is improving.

Cibulkova is having trouble controlling her toss in the wind on center court.

Ok, and Wozniacki is now too.

This match could be really ugly. The wind is ridiculous.

Okay, fair enough - the players are freaking hot and extremely good looking, respectively. The tennis itself is cringe-worthy in this wind. At least it was in the first set. I have missed the start of the second.

And Pam just said "And I have more hair then you do" to Darren on live television. Did I know what she meant? Yes. Does that matter? No.

Caroline looked right IMO.

EDIT: I just re-watched. She definitely was right. Cibulkova made a play on the ball, and THEN the call came in.

It will be interesting to see how Soderling handles these conditions. His game definately isn't built to adapt to the wind.

Really pumped for Federer-Soderling.

Not that I'm complaining but how in the world is Wozniacki the number one womans player in the world. Women's tennis is a mess. Basically destroyed by injuries and retirements.

Awesome point. Some beautiful runners from Soderling.
