For those of you who didn't figure out (or give a damn, more likely) my above post (#499), that was my way of suggesting that the Kerber/Serena match was an....wait for it....anticlimax.

I agree completely concerning Anderson. That match smells like a potential upset to me. And, no, Rafa did not choke. He just ran out of steam. I think his failure to take advantage of so many opportunities on Nole's serve finally wore him down mentally as much as anything else.I'm SO happy over both matches today! I missed most of the last set of the men's match, what happened? Did Rafa choke?
I think it's crazy to say this but I think Anderson has a shot tomorrow if he recovers well. He will probably hold his serve and Djok just seems to rally. He'd probably have to win it relatively quickly.
Rafa and Djok both seemed happy to not be overly aggressive and if Anderson is hitting a ton of pace that could make the difference. Both of them are up and down mentally so that will factor in as well.I agree completely concerning Anderson. That match smells like a potential upset to me. And, no, Rafa did not choke.

Here we go. Wouldn't be surprised with an early break as both players work the kinks out.
Got one right for a change as Nole immediately breaks Anderson who double faults on game point, 1-love.
Yeah, a--oh, let'say--two hour match would be perfect today. What a scheduling disaster!Predictable start.
Not expecting much drama today.
