Van Basten II

Things are heating up ! Great shots by Kiefer who is about to take the second set.

The Dent-Navarro was a bit like a fight with two heavyweights taking turns at each other. Not a great serve and volley fan, but in this context it was quite enjoyable. By the way, what the heck is Kiefer wearing on his knee ?

Great reaction by Dent after winning the match.

Good close game between Dent and Navarro.

Consider me among the confused, regardless of the sound, do we have the same tracks, no matter which one we buy one set or the other ?

Rybarikova will hate herself when she'll review her match, she had her chances on Venus serve but was way too passive on break chances.

Back to tennis after my outing last night. Crowd is rather quiet for the Venus match. Clisters just annihilated her opponent in one hour

Saw Eric Truffaz with his quartet, a bit Bitchesbrewian at times, wish i brought my earplugs, quite loud at times. Truffaz is borderline a guilty pleasure, he and his group are far from being great technicians, can't say what they do is original , but i end up enjoying them anyway. Truffaz who enjoys coming to Montreal, finished the evening by giving us his love, with a rendition of Gainsbourg's Je t'aime moi non plus.

Arrived only for the latter part of the third set, seemed to be a nice workout for Federer.

Since good results involving fellow countrymen happen so few, quite happy to see Alexandra Wozniak actually beat a seeded player. Mauresmo from all the reports is not what she used to be but still good news from the native from my hometown who has already her best US Open ever in her third try. She will play next a hot player in Flavia Pennetta, ranked 10, let's hope i read properly the info.

Are you sure you meant Gulbis? He was ranked 53 last August, while Murray was ranked 4. That would make more sense. Checking the USOpen site to check out the info. Ok now i see , i misread the date for the rankings http://www.usopen.org/en_US/players/overview/atpg858.html Under the line high rank date for singles, i thought they meant the rank 4 for august 2008, when they meant he obtained his best ranking august the 4th. Doh !

Yeah, ultimately Murray was able to get back on track and defeat Gulbis in straights. Didn't see a story on this. What happened? Gulbis was ranked number 4 last august, how did he do that, informatic piracy ? Trying to dig out results that make him go up to that ranking. Regarding the match , it was a typical game between a great and a good player. Good player gives all he can handle at the beginning but fails to capitalize and then his game becomes more erratic, great player has an easier time. Bad choice of words, was eliminated in three sets in the first round, saw the third set tie-breaker, she so does not look like a former number 1 player right now

Harold Snepsts Lanny McDonald Derek Sanderson Great mustaches of pro hockey.

Ivanovic was dropped out of the tournament , how the mighty has fallen !

Tough way to lose a set, but then again that is why Murray is a top seeded player and Gulbis is not.

We might have a game between Murray and Gulbis, felt that Murray played a bit too safe on the last serve game he got broke.

Finally gone through, exciting in an ugly kind of way. Don't put too much money on Venus if you go to the bookie.

Seems as soon as i write something, something else happens. It's a game that nobody wants to win, Venus was leading 4-0 broke twice her opponent geez, now 4-3 only.

Poor Dushevina , her only chance to win was to to grab the second set, she's getting beaten from pillow to post in the third. The boys might start before 11 pm.

Came back strong on her serve to get to a third set. Don't count on me to post about the following game starring A-Rod. It will be way too late.

Don't know which is uglier between her game and her dress

Venus is struggling, just lost the first set. New thing, this year the early rounds are broadcasted by ESPN instead of USA.

I think and fear that Kevin hit it on the nail, does that mean i will either have to get rid of the digital connexion for the sound if i want to restore the 5.1? Thanks of course to all of you for your input, will fiddle around with the tv configuration.

Still in the world of sports, here's a nice badmington shot http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6...peter+gade+shot
