Big sister has always been more mature, but unfortunately not quite as gifted and/or devoted to the sport as Serena. I hope Venus gets far enough to whip that classless sister of hers [incredibly unlikely, I know].

[Duncan Bell]

Venus vs Sugar will be a good matchup.

went to sleep...see stosur crumbled again at home, so similar to mauresmo at the french..and yes, i know zheng is a good player but still expect more from major winner, but that win is looking increasingly like an anomaly

completely disagree...

Venus at peak did things that you can't teach; the most athletically gifted player I've ever seen on a tennis court.

her shots had little penetration or weight to them...

The way MaSha is playing, i see her reaching the Final. Then it will be toss up between her and Serena. I voted for MaSha

Masha's playing great, but I can't help but wonder if Venus has a few tricks up her sleeve to outsmart her.

You can see Radwanksa going far.

[jonnythan]

Was that Petko with Redfoo in Rod Laver?

[Relinquis]

when does Marion Bartoli meet Serena, in the final?

[augustobt]

Good to see my girl Garbine delivering a fair match.

She did great!

ReRe is saying in her interview that she played really well and has a really bright future.

Date-Krumm at 5-2 in the first against Shahar Peer, having trouble closing it out. It's like the fifth deuce.

[Doublebounce]

I know this is a bit premature but what does everyone think of Krumm's chances vs Safarova? I would love to see her in the fourth round of a major. Lucie can be wild, but her lefty game could throw Date off.

[jonnythan]

Woz, and her game, are looking pretty good.

[Clarky21]

Who's who is the Woz match? They look like twins.

[jonnythan]

When I first turned it on, I thought Vekic was Woz. Then they showed the other girl and I thought "Wait, that's Woz too. What?"

[Love Game]

either Vekic is wearing waaaaaay too much blusher or she's going down to the heat (in the 90's?) ... her ears are also quite red ... not a good sign.

Caro looking comfy in comparison, now serving for the first set 5-1

lol ... i know what you mean ... as soon as I saw vekic i noticed that she has the string-bean, venus-williams body type. woz is more curvaceous.

plus woz is wearing her stella mccartney dress with the pleated yellow skirt. vekic is wearing the shorter, white bandage type skirt.

plus woz is the more natural blonde. vekic's hair color is more uniform and looks like she just got the color done

commies just pointed out that the heat is rapidly approaching
40 degrees celcius, which is 104 fahrenheit.
