I don't know about you guys, but for all the stress and tension leading up to today's matches, it actually was rather painless. But that's obviously because I didn't have to watch it. Heh. Sorry to the rest of you.
A point here or there in each of the men's matches and each match completely changes. Methinks it's going to be a long flight back for Halpert. He'll be thinking about that set point for a long time.

As for the ladies, it was as drama-filled as we expected. Some would argue more so. So Serena just has to outlast Caro to remain at #1. I can't think that will be difficult.
Yay Jay-Z! And how about Robbie and Co getting into the fourth round of dubs!
