another 3 set match for Serena......but she came through

[a kennedy]

and going on to the 3rd round. :applause: and the next matches aren't going to be any easier.....yikes, she's gotta be tired, hasn't played for 11 months and comes here??? Good Luck Serena. :patriot:

1. Three sets each time, I think

It hasn't been a cakewalk for her.

[marmar]

10. No, but for someone who's been out for a year and had the dramatic medical issues.....

...... that she had, I'd say she's doing alright.

[MaineDem]

14. I meant both of her matches so far at Wimby have gone 3 sets

She's had a bad set in each match.

But, I agree, her medical issues made it uncertain she would ever actually play again. I have to give her credit.

2. The more thrilling match was Soderling v Hewitt....

Robin won in 5 after down 0-2...I wish he was on Raf-Roid's draw, cuz i don't think either Andy will be able to beat him.

[a kennedy]

3. Was actually rooting for both of them......so ok with

the Swede winning it. Now if he could just beat that Marcos Baghdatis if he plays him.....ol' Marcos is not one of my favorites. Ugh.

4. I like Robin, I know a lot of people dislike Leyton, but he doesn't bother me...

I will always feel kindly towards him for beating Sampras at the US Open!

6. hewitt is my all-time fave player

Was hoping he was going to be able to pull it out today. great match.

[joeybee12]

8. What happened to him? Was it injures?

I seem to recall he had surgery that kept him out for a bit and never got back to true form.

[tishaLA]

11. he had two hip surgeries

And because his speed was such a big part of his game, and he's getting old, that was really the death knell.

[marmar]

9. When I think of Lleyton Hewitt, I always think of the racially-tinged outburst at the US Open....

..... I just can't get over that with him.

[MaineDem]

13. Indeed

That's exactly why I dislike Hewitt.

[MaineDem]

12. I don't like either player so I was impartial

Made for a great match!

[joeybee12]

5. Li lost as did isner...

If you ask me, Li losing is not a huge upset...Sabine is still a good player, never quite broke through in her prime, but a veteran.

7. YAY Serena!!
