Monica Puig goes alright doesn't she. Smashing body.

Two things:

1) Ana gets hotter and hotter every summer. And;
2) Kokkinakis sounds a lot like the description of anal ***.

Shaky start from Sam but still takes the first set, fingers crossed she can make it past at least the 3rd round this time around.

 

[Jono]

Sam is through. Good news, first round knockout would have been brutal. Press have been relatively harsh lately - even asking Hewitt questions about her etc.

When it comes to tennis the Australian press are just horrible, I saw Djokovic getting interviewed the other day and they asked him what he thought about Tomic. I'm surprised he didn't just say something like "I dont really care about some brat ranked 60 in the world".

Jeez it's frustrating following Erakovic - what might have been, if not for injuries, inconsistency and errors.

She served for the first set, was broken and lost the set 7-5. She broke early in the second set, led 2-0 and 40-0, and threw it away. Back on serve. FFS.

EDIT: Oh, now she breaks again. Please don't throw it away this time.

EDIT 2: She did. Tie break now.

Giraldo vs. Harrison - my 2 boys (along with Raonic) going toe-to-toe!

Ebden life. Youzhny was serving for the set at 5-1 and lost it.

 

[Jono]

The Russian may not be saluting to the crowd today! That is a huge fight back.

 

[Jono]

Mikhail breaks first game of 3rd set though. Ebden planning an epic comeback again obviously. The way he likes it.

 

[benchmark00]

Ebbers Ebden lost after being up two sets to love last year, so he has form.

Wow, awesome stuff from Ebden so far.

Meanwhile, the Erakovic roller coaster continues - Cornet's served for the match her last two service games, and Erakovic has broken both times.

Yep, now down a double break in the 3rd.

Wants another 1-5 come back.

 

[morgieb]

lol if Mikhail chokes for the second time today.

 

[Jono]

Mikhail up 5-1. Let's see what happens now.

 

[_Ed_]

Erakovic breaks to stay in the match again. This is daft. 8-8 now.

 

[Jono]

He wins the set. boooooo

Haha that match has been going for over three hours now. Even most men's matches aren't that long!

 

[_Ed_]

Has to break again now. Come on, Marina.
