What do you mean?
Shame Radwanska withdrew. The rematch of the Li-Radwanska match at the Wimbledon quarters should be the women's match of the day.
edit: Isner is looking sharp. He might have a chance in a best of 3.

Watch the US Open night sessions on nights they have the men go first. At least half the crowd leaves after the mens match. The men hit harder. They are bigger and stronger. After seeing a battle like that, its hard to watch a downgrade. The Tennis organizers can deny that all they want but they can't force the crowd to stay to watch the womens match, and because of that, half the crowd will leave before the womens match. If the women started the night session, they would have a much larger crowd.
True, but why would the organizers particularly care? They sell one ticket for the night session, not for individual matches. Forcing people to sit through women's matches isn't a solution in my opinion.
Isner's up a set

I bet the viewers at home do the same thing tho
Well if women want more money they need to raise their game, so to speak. The level of women's game has suffered from slowing down the courts (which was done to make points in men's game longer), but in general it's true that men hit with more power and with much higher consistency and variety.

They get equal prize money already at least in the slams. Some WTA and ATP events are separate though so at those tournaments its more based on ticket sales.

So far I've gotten to see most of every match but the Vinci-Jankovic one, which I figured would be a snoozefest. Currently waiting for Roger at a practice court
Djokovic and Isner are about to head to a 3rd set tiebreak it looks like. run over there!

MIMIC AM CRY
Nadal guaranteed to win now.
no 'career golden masters' for Djokovic yet lol. Nice match from Johnny, he matches up nicely against Djoker. But I expect delPo to win easily tomorrow.
Murray will win this one.
edit: lol at Andy's smirk when he heard Isner won
lol, I had a slight inkling that Novak would lose
I didn't get a chance to see the match (had to get my car serviced and didn't get any sleep).
It's only a matter of time before Djoker surrenders the No. 1 rank to either Nadal or Murray. It's such a meek surrender, too His form has been MIA since Monte Carlo (which is where he recorded his last impressive win).
His form has been like Federer in the last few days: will pummel an absolutely nobody into the ground (like Gasquet and Goffin recently) and gets routined by the first person with the tinniest bit of belief.
Since he's been playing like crap

eh, they get started at 7pm. Even a 4 hour epic would get the ladies on before midnight which isn't uncommon. Besides, some of the most exciting matches ever have gone into the wee hours of the morning. The 2012 AO final comes to mind.
edit: pretty good start from Serena. She's hungry for bagels
Well it's not going to be Murray. He's played only 5 decent tournaments this year >.<

Oh Berdych how I loathe you.
Nadal then. Leading the race and nothing to defend. Murray is not looking too hot atm either. :/
I wouldn't mind him beating Roger and Andy if he was competitive against Nadal and Djoker as well. So annoying.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
If Federer wins he's going to be routined by Berdych.
Else {
Nadal routins Berdych;
}
Imagine that, tennis is like C++
:|
No, if Federer plays well enough to actually beat Nadal today I think he will take the whole thing.
You want your boy to hold on to that #1 ranking?
and yeah, go Roger! Can't believe he played so poorly on break point, at least he's putting pressure on Nadal.
I wonder why...

It seriously has nothing to do with ranking.
I'd rather Novak win another slam than spend 50 extra weeks at No. 1.
