Yeah, I want Radwanska to win... but a more realistic ambition would be to avoiding a humilation if Serena is going to serve like that again. Bloody hell.
The Williams sisters also crushed their doubles QF opponents 6-1 6-1. They play the 1-seeds Raymond and Huber next.

I honestly couldn't care less about almost any women on the tour tbh. From a tennis perspective anyway (hi Ivanovic).
I guess I like Sharapova because I liked her first win.
I still like the Williams sisters to an extent, but holy crap have they gotten boring now. And now Clijsters is going to retire so.
But yeah I really have trouble seeing Serena losing. It almost feels like a "routine grand slam". It's like Wimbledon is a train track littered with Eastern European cars and this huge Williams train is just plowing through all of them. This was the case in her recent wins tbh.
Whereas tomorrow will be compelling. Federer/Djokovic will be excellent and Murray/Tsonga will be a nailbiter, with Murray ultimately choking and failing miserably.
Tomorrow's matches should be great, wish I had taken off from work to watch.
Women's tennis is kind of a joke right now because there's just no consistency. Azarenka and Sharapova have been more consistent this year than we've seen from anyone else in the past couple, but the fact that Serena can just show up and roll over everyone is really off-putting.

God! Who actually likes Serena Williams. She's like one of those fat chicks who actually thinks they are hot just cause they are hanging out with the 'real' hot chicks. In Serena's case, her number of GS and her disgusting outfits.
I will go so far as to say I dislike Serena way way way more than Nadal. In Nadal's case, It is no secret that I don't like him but deep down I still do respect him because he IS the greatest clay court player to have ever stepped foot on the court. As in Serena's case, I don't like her and I don't respect her either. I don't care how many GS she wins, it will NEVER earn my respect. Hope Radwanska pulls off a miracle in the final so that I don't have to see Serena's ridiculously phony and cringe-worthy victory waves to the crowd.
Tomorrow's matches have a great chance of being absolutely amazing to watch.
So glad I have nothing else to do (being a teacher is so awesome in the summer) and that ESPN is covering both matches in their entirety. By the time the US Open starts, I'll have DirectTV.
That means I'll be watching every delicious minute of Nadal's second US Open title (after he wins his second gold in London). And then when he completes the DOUBLE GOLDEN SLAM in Melbourne next year and transcends humanity, I can retire from watching tennis.

Also, I played on clay for the first time tonight. It was amazing.
I slid up a f***ing storm. I was born to play on clay (Guanriteed I could take Roddick on clay now).
I am seriously thinking about moving into an apartment that's near the clay court area of Houston so I can play most of my tennis on clay. Would be a bit closer to my school as well.

Oh man. Djoks vs Fed in less than 2 hours. Lets hope the old man doesn't job as badly as he did in the FO.
Key to win the match
Federer: Serve, more winners than unforced errors, 2006-2008 like god mode Djokovic: Low unforced errors count, doesn't revert to the usual 2012 form, Federer doesn't go god mode.
Roof being on means slower conditions, which favours Djokovic and Murray. They were favourites even before that was confirmed. Can't see either of them losing if they play remotely well, unless Federer or Tsonga play incredibly for three sustained sets.

Wow, Djokovic looked done there. Perhaps only delaying the inevitable though.

I'm going put that down as an incredible Federer performance! The forehand and serve were top class. Djokovic's backhand was a shadow of its usual self.
Come on Murray!
