Me: Ana lost.
Carrie: I was so sure she would win. I mean, if there's any player that's not going to come back from a double break down in the third it's Nads.
Me: If there's any player that *will* squander a double break lead in the third set, it's Ana.
Both: [uncomfortable laughter]
Ana squandered a double break lead in the third set to collapse and lose 64 in the final set. But at least people can stop paying attention to it because Nads is the 7th seed.
Oh, people won't ignore it? AWESOME!!!
In similar non-upsetting news, The Cone lost to The Gypsy.
BUT, Forty Deuce Wimbledon favorite Sam Stosur keeps on trucking. Go Sam! I want you to win just so that Stubbsy doesn't fit you with a gag ball and whip you until you bleed. Though...I guess she might do that anyway. But like, *totally* out of love and celebration.
