Blows 3 champ points, saves 3 break points and wins it. Love how the tennis announcers keep quiet and le it play out.

That Djokovic/Wawrinka match, goddamn. Thought Stan may pull it out. Nadal has looked nearly unbeatable all tourney though.

I went up on the first friday and it was a lot of fun. Didn't see any huge names aside from Murray but saw Baghdatis and Anderson up close on court 17 which was pretty sweet.

made it up for the first time the day before you and totally agree. lot of fun. saw feds and nadal on asche but really enjoyed seeing the up close action on the outer courts. love court 17. watched lisicki there to open the day and caught lopez there later. think i could've been happy staying there all day. saw tipsarevic/sela on an outer court, caught some of ferrer in armstrong and the querrey loss on grandstand. glad i got to see grandstand before they move it. if you enjoy seeing a lot different players i recommend going sometime during the first week.

Yeah, I watched a bunch of the smaller matches. Didn't even bother to get Ashe tickets. I'd rather be closer to some smaller names that I know than in the stratosphere for Djokovic.

This women's final, goddamn.

RAFA looks like he's not going to be beaten. I've only been watching in between Eagles game plays, tho.

Dimitrov got tight in that tiebreak. Tied a set a piece and on serve in the third vs nadal.
