Djokovic is struggling big time against his fellow country man, Troicki. This could be the first real upset of the tournament.

Djokovic in 5.. that was as brutal a match as one will ever see. Over 4 hours in 110 degree heat.

This Nadal-Gabashvilli match has been a classic so far!
Nadal took the 1st set in a tiebreak, now he blew 2 set points in the 2nd set and they're off to another tiebreak! If Gabashvilli wins this tiebreak, this will be a CLASSIC!

/and the women's match won't get on court til about 1am!

Great match so far. You've got to feel for this guy. He's pushing Nadal to the brink.

Yes he did.

I guess but that was just a bunch of serves. The final set was 70-68 and there were not even 10 break points.

This one yesterday was deuce after deuce, 15-20 shot rallies in the heat. It was pretty brutal.

A Canadian will be on TV!

3rd on Ashe Stadium so around 2pm mountain?

Rebecca Marino (CAN) vs. Venus Williams (USA)

Azarenka just collapsed. I hope she's okay. That was really scary to watch.

Wow, that sounds really scary. I remember once she played Serena either in new york or melbourne and she had to quit after the first set due to heatstroke.

Federer knocks can off crew member's head during a Gillette / British Skin Foundation shoot

Mango · 09-01-2010, 01:53 PM

I know it's only the first set, but Marino is playing well against Williams

GirlySports · 09-01-2010, 02:02 PM

Looks like she's got some power and handling Venus' power ok. Just stay in the rally and make Venus make a wild error!

GirlySports · 09-01-2010, 02:06 PM

up 5-4! just saved a break point... wonderful stuff!
The tv is a bit far from me so I'm trying to watch! I might wander closer!

Mango · 09-01-2010, 02:22 PM

Tie-break time!

GirlySports · 09-01-2010, 02:34 PM

up 3-1 Venus paints the line and she didn't lose another point

Mango · 09-01-2010, 02:41 PM

Even if she loses this match, she went toe-to-toe with one of the best in the world. Outstanding showing for the teenager.

Man, tennis announcers get very reminiscent about their careers.

Who? Shriver?

Anyways waiting for the Roddick-Tipserevic match, I think that'll be a long one!

Machiavelli · 09-01-2010, 06:14 PM

I don't know who it was; I get them all confused. Mary-Jo? Whoever's calling the Clisters match. She was talking about playing someone (Navratilova?) when she was very young and blah blah and being all excited and in awe at the same time.

Awwwwwkward interview right now.

I'm also waiting for Roddick. I don't know why, but I really like that guy!
