Yeah, Jelena is new no.1 as Ana crashed out early again. Anyway, should be a great match later between Novak and Andy.

Currently watching Jankovic vs Arvidson and I must say that Jelena isn't doing very well. She's actually winning quite a lot of her points through Arvidson's errors and Jelena allowed her 6 straight points in the 2nd set's tie break. They're currently playing the 3rd set.

Anyway, I read somewhere that during Ana's match yesterday that there was a fan who shouted "There's a reason you're number 1!" and Ana picked up her game from then on. Anyhow I'm glad she's through to the next round

@retrosnare: Fortunately I'm on holiday so I can watch the good matches. How bout you? You're really not sleeping??

Yeah, the same thumb injury which since Wimbledon is still bugging Ana and it the effects can be seen in her gameplay. And like you said, I'm hoping she goes far in the US Open to get those match practice she needs.

The Jankovic match? I watched until she was 2-0 up in the 3rd set because I had to watch Arsenal's match. Anyway, Jelena was struggling in that match and she won quite a lot of her points through Arvidson's errors. And Jankovic always looked in trouble whenever Arvidson decides to go on the offensive although we all know that Jelena has very good court coverage skills. Basically, it was a match that could've gone either way because none of them really controlled the game entirely and I was actually surprised that Arvidson didn't come out stronger in the 3rd set after winning the 2nd.

I think a more experienced player instead of Arvidson could have defeated Jelena because Arvidson didn't convert a few break points that would have changed the outcome of the entire match.

Yeah I couldn't believe it either. Did you watch the match? I didn't but I'm assuming Ana made loads of errors and thus, giving away many free points. She hasn't been her usual self since the win at Roland Garros..

Yeah but Jelena came back in the 2nd set and she looks like she's getting better with every match.

P.S Roger's through to next round after beating Radek Stepanek in straight sets.

Anyone watching the Fish v Nadal match? Fish just won the first set 6-3 :

Argh! Roger's match just started and it's already 3am. Don't think I can watch whole match.

Looks like the Rafa v Andy match is going to start soon due to the predicted rain.

So all you guys watching Rafa's game? I'm still watching Roger's on Astro.

Ahh! Got any streaming links?
Anyway, Roger just won the 3rd set

Roger breaks again! 5-2 in the 4th set!! Come on Federer!

A very good performance by Roger and I think, one of his best in recent months. His serves were awesome today and its definitely one of his weapons which had saved him several times. There were also moments of the old Federer magic and not forgetting that crazy lob which he did in the 3rd set. Simply stunning shot!

Congrats Roger on the fantastic win!

P.S WTH is ASTRO DOING? Showing the Nadal Murray match from the start and putting it as "LIVE"???

Yeah its not their fault because I've actually tried a few streaming channels and they're showing the same thing as Astro.

Sad to know that Jelena didnt get her first grand slam but I guess being in a grand slam final for the 1st time might have been a disadvantage to her. However, she did have a very good tournament especially after struggling through in the early rounds. Hopefully she gets her chance again next year.

So what time is the Roger Murray match?

Roger played a very good game against Murray and it was obvious that Murray's focus was gone when he lost the 2nd set. If Murray took the 2nd set, it would've been a very different ball game. However, I think Roger gained a lot of confidence after his win against Novak and it showed in the final. His trademark forehands were all hitting the targets. I also like that Roger is moving to the net more often nowadays. Congrats Roger! Didn't waste my effort waking up at 4.30am!

Ahh final set! Come on Roger!!!

He just broke back
