janowicz-robredo is still on serve in the fourth set.
Are you from the future?

third fifth setter in a row for janowicz. if he wins surely he has no chance against federer.
who am i kidding, federer would lose in five because my life is awful.

They called it!? Such bullshit. Have no clue why that match did not start on center. Bunch of idiots.
Ana was complaining big time.
Honestly now, the really old players (Serena, Venus, Li) losing early and the young guns (Genie, Keys, Bencic, Diyas) making good progress is an obvious sign of a generation change imo.
Ms Ajde desperately wanted the match to be suspended. Sabine has all the momentum and she wants advice from her camp. Hilarious that whenever they finished a game she rushed to the bench to wear her jacket trying to force the organizers to stop it. lol

Not with that Michael Jackson face.Sad to see Serena lose early but Alize Cornet is fine
Hell no.

I always wondered this as well. I really hope its not operated for aesthetic purposes because that makes her look bad. She would be quite pretty with a different nose.
NOOO. ;-; Dont you remind me of that. I have faith that Maria will end this curse this year.
It'll be another great semi-final starring Lisicki. Really hoping she can win it this year.

Ugh. Serena.
Now I probably won't watch another match. Haven't watched a lot of tennis this year.

That's her real nose guys, and it's a little bit low to compare her to these guys.
It's a great win for her. I'm not a fan, she doesn't have the best of reputations here in France, but she's very invested in her career and does the best she can with what she has.

we do it to guy players too. Pam shriver used to call Nalbandian a telletubby on air, referencing his weight. Ironically his nose probably got more scrutiny than Cornet's. Poor guy
Yes because I am sure you never compared yourself or someone else to some random personality one time... Stop taking it so seriously. I am sure no one in here means any harm by those comments.
Just catching up on this thread and wanted to point out that this isn't accurate.
According to the Official Grand Slam Rule Book:
I'm all for time violation rules and that 20 secs is a pretty fair amount of time between an "average" point at the pro level. That being said, I think that there are circumstances where it would be reasonable to give players some leeway (eg. unusually long points, a fan yelling out right before serve,etc.) I think the rule should be revised to allow for exceptions and should set out a cap on the additional time umps can extend by. Something like that, anyway.

Sometimes people forget they're talking about actual human beings on here.
I wouldn't go quite that far, but I do agree that all of the hand-wringing over the time spent between points, etc., is getting awfully tired. Also, I think it's pretty darn pointless when it comes to the general public's interest in the sport. I really, REALLY doubt your average Joe or Joette ignores tennis because some players take too long between points. Or because some players "grunt." Or because the sport allows "lets." Or because the sport's failed to adopt lame, "no-ad" scoring. Yet commentators will continue to harp on these things over and over and over again on air because ... they enjoy hearing themselves talk? I wouldn't doubt that to be the case.
lol
Too funny
It really is too bad she (Cornet) didn't respond with something along the lines of, "No, that's OK. You go off first. I'll be along in a minute!"
I know how it unfolded but I like to imagine that when the gif ends Serena punches Cornet's face and the ballgirl running is escaping from Serena's fury. ;-;
lol
need full video.

Yeah she had every right to enjoy the moment and take it all in. Serena naturally wanted to gtho of there, but Cornet should have relished her time on the court after the biggest win of her career. And she should have declined Serena's "hurry up", but she's not used to these moments so she went along with it.

Really hoping Tsonga does not get rolled tomorrow by Djokovic, but I'm sure he will. Really looking forward to the Isner/Lopez match as well. Should be a good day of tennis

The bottom half of the women's bracket is so open. Please don't mess this up, Radwanska.
