At least, that's what Chris Fowler called today's action. Me? It didn't even deserve a clever name. It was just boring. The top seeds rolled and none of them were really tested, which means we didn't gain any additional insight into their games and their forms. Here's hoping tomorrow's action brings some excitement.

One interesting developments on the women's side though. Wickmayer withdrew from doubles with lower back soreness. So...the voodoo dolls are working, Justine.
But yay, Sam! She's already exceeded my expectations. Unfortunately, she'll get Serena in the fourth round.
