It's mostly a non story, but could you imagine the hype that would be generated if Mac challenged Serena to a Riggs Redux? She would destroy him!

Bethanie Mattek-Sands blew out her knee with sets tied 1-1 in her match vs. Cirstea. Be sure to check out the video if you're into someone writhing and screaming in pain for 25 minutes before they finally get her off the court.

dang, turned it off to go to lunch right around then. guess they are saying pretty bad dislocation. afterthought on the singles side but her and safarova are awesome at doubles. five grand slams.

But didn't.

Zverev is playing Federer tough, but Roger keeps being Roger.

Hands down he has the toughest route to a championship. Would be awesome to see him pull it off.

Granted, it would also be nice to be 6' 4", young and a great athlete, but it would also be nice to 1/10 as cool at the net as Muller.

I have better things to do, but it's now 10-10 in the fifth set. Hard to tear myself away.

Muller takes it 15-13. Was hoping for a big 4 semis.

Muller is playing as well on grass as anyone is right now. Nadal slow start was surprising this match and cost him.
