I'm digging both NIke kits. Rafa's is subversive in its own way and Fed in light blue with the orange trim actually makes him look fresh and not like the old fogey that he is.
See? I can be complimentary.
Stan survived a 5 setter over Devilder. Nice job, Stanley.
3.5 Americans won on clay!
Masha came back from a set down to eventually win fairly easily. Serve and dress notwithstanding she was looking really good off both sides. Lateral movement looked good and she's still able to whack the ball into the corners and find some angles. But she's faced with the same questions Ana is: Can she hold serve against the bigger hitters?
And Venus "gave away" the second set to Bethanie before pulling out the three set win. Tough luck for Bethanie, who looked like she was struggling with a right wrist problem during the match.
And is Alexa Glatch the real deal? Again, it's not that she's beating top 30 players, she's demolishing them. Benesova, Kvitova, and now Flavia, 1 and 1. Where'd this kid come from?
Jay Z won and K-Bond is the only Bond left in the draw as she took out Peppermint Patty.
One match didn't finish. Vera D and Caro are locked at a set a piece before the match was suspended for darkness. Come on, Caro.
