And at least twice, Ted Robinson has done the promo pimping the DirecTV mix on the very same day they slashed and burned their coverage. Huh?

When was the last time Ljubicic made the second week of a major?

Don't know that Djokovic played much differently today than he did last night. JM was more error prone and Novak wasn't having to fend off the barrage of missiles that were being launched at him by set 2 last night. Consistency won the day.

Delpo just needs to get a good run of matches in, particularly against some of the better players. His record and his movement/size doesn't suggest that grass will suit him, but if he stays injury free then he should be in excellent shape by the time the US Open rolls around.

4th round of French '08

RG 2008!

At least now we know who's responsible for Hot Sauce's stomach flu! That had to take some serious planning!

I think the multichannel thin always expires at noon each day (or a consistent time each day) and it's only for week one. I think the schedule is advertised so it shouldn't be a surprise when it goes off each day. No idea about Robertson's ill-timed plugs.

Yesterday on ESPN, fowler plugged the upcoming replay of caro/dani with something like, "the big upset of the day as the number-one seed goes down." pitythe people who had DVR'D it.

Is Rus waiting until she's match point down before she starts playing?

I can't remember which one, but there was at least one major recently where the multichannel coverage went into the second week. But since they've partnered with DirecTV, I can't remember a single one where the coverage got shortened on the middle Saturday. That's new. They've always provided coverage of 5 courts until the OOP is finished. I'm pretty sure of it.

AT LEAST, NBC is showing live coverage.

Well, Kirilenko usually waits until around then to start choking, so it's only wise of Rus to oblige.


Point in case. Kirilenko 5-0 0-40
