lets just hope that the roddick match goes to at least 4 sets, then we'd see some live tennis on ESPN

Great match. The 2nd set tiebreak was worth the price of admission alone.

7-6 Dem. in the 1st
Serena breaks for a 6-5 lead in the 2nd and holds for 7-5 in the 2nd
To the 3rd...

damnitt. I was really hoping or Dementieva to win that.

Hopefully Venus whoops the **** out of her sister in the finals.

when will they air the venus match. mrs. jags was texting me the whole time trying to find it and i had no idea. they showed roddick instead of V during her match.

Safina is such a choke artist its amazing.

I asked this question on your gyn board post SS, but why were Serena and Venus not playing each other since they were the 2 and 3 seeds, letting the 1 and 4 seeds play in the other semis. I've never quite figured out the draws in the respect that the seeds who should be playing (if all high seeds won the matches) don't always line up. For example, to me, the 3 vs 6 seed should be the quarterfinal matchup, instead of the semis as it will be tomorrow w/ Murray, Roddick
S.S.Aggie

i think the Venus match will be shown at 12 on NBC.

as for the seeding, i'm not sure why it doesn't end up 1v4 and 2v3 in the semis.
Ag Since 83

The draw works like this:

*1 and 2 put at top and bottom
*3 and 4 randomly assigned to the other two quarters
*5-8 randomly assigned to meet 1-4 in quarterfinals, so this time #6 Roddick was initially drawn to face Nadal in the quarters
*9-12 randomly assigned to meet 5-8 in round of 16
*13-16 randomly assigned to meet 1-4 in round of 16
*17-24 randomly assigned to meet 9-16 in round of 32
*25-32 randomly assigned to meet 1-8 in round of 32

not a fan of Serena at all. Can't stand her.

Venus is ok.

How are y'all feeling about Rod?

I think on a given day he can beat Murray, but at Wimbledon (home crown for Murray) and a LONG match w/ Hewitt is going to wear him down a bit.

hope for the best, but planning on the worst.
Ag Since 83

Yeah in my opinion, from here on out it's all gravy for Roddick. I really want him to win at least one more slam, but it's going to take a minor miracle to win this one. He's had a great fortnight though.

I'm at work so I don't know if they're showing this on TV, but Blake and Fish are currently 2 sets up on the #2 doubles team. Trying to set up an all-American final with the Bryans

I think Murray takes out Roddick tomorrow, and Fed cruises into the finals, where he beats Murray on Sunday morning. I dont think ARod can play well enough to beat Murray, just dont see it happening.

As for the womens finals, I doubt I even watch because I cant stand either Venus or Serena, but especially Serena. Her antics on court drive me up a wall. She is a drama queen during all of her matches. If either of them has to win, I would go with Venus. She is actually a little respectable when playing.

What bigfoot10 says on all counts.

Fed to the Finals. Which Andy will he play? Roddick takes the first 6-4. Will there be an upset?
Ag Since 83

Looks like he might have woken Murray up though.

Anywhere to watch Murray-Roddick online live? Can someone post a link?
Ag Since 83

Try the links at fromsport.com

Murray takes the 2nd set 6-4. Except for one game I think Roddick has been better so far. If Murray can consistently get his first serve in like early in the 2nd, I think he cruises in 4. But if he struggles with the first serve like in the first set and later in the 2nd, anything could happen.

I can't believe espn is not broadcasting this match...any reason why?

NBC has the rights to the Murray-Roddick match, so ESPN cannot report scores or anything. NBC will be airing it (not live) at 12 noon.
