Very impressive win by Henin, she's showing why she's number one, actually happy of not seeing a sister versus sister match.Every time they met they had a sloppy match.

You're right of course but that wouldn't have stopped CBS from hyping it to the moon.

The Nadal-Ferrer game is gonna start way too late, probably will end near 1 am if it ends early. Too bad i wanted to watch it.

The only way to avoid that will be no long matches in the day session and a super short match for Venus since she is up first. Or better yet, a walkover. Otherwise I am going to miss this too.

EDIT:

I thought you were referring to the Federer-Roddick match that happens tonight and will end equally late. :blush:

Nadal - Ferrer match went on until 1:50am with a surprising four set win by Ferrer! That's his biggest win yet. Nadal was in serious pain in the fourth set collapsing after Ferrer went up 5 games to two.

With the Williams-Jankovic match that turned into a marathon this will be unfortunately the case..

V. Williams won tonight. Watching Federer-Roddick now and its after 11:30pm and Federer has taken the first set in a ties break and we are now heading to a second set tie break-I don't think I'm going to make to 2am again!

I went to bed after the second set tie-break, confident that Federer would roll the rest of the way. It must suck if you're Andy Roddick and play the best you ever have against the world number one and can't even win a set. But he does deserve credit for going after it as well as he did.

As far as Serena goes, her attitude was embarrassing and unfortunately, par for their course too often. Whatever their father instilled in them regarding pride and belief in themselves, he sure as hell never taught them a lick about class.

what do you folks think of serena's lack of civility after todays loss.

serena wasnt an appropriate name today.

I guess I miss this, what happened exactly?

Just like it says - she was petulant and rude. Claimed that Henin hit a lot of "lucky shots". Utterly without class or dignity. If she had a brain she might have realized that a ten thousand dollar fine for skipping the press conference would be far preferable to acting like a spoiled, petulant brat who has earned 18 million dollars but is only at the press conference because she "can't afford" the fine if she skipped it.

Wow! The mentally tough Justine H. beat Venus in straight sets, completing a Williams sister sweep, and advances to the final vs. Kuznetsova. Never thought that'd happen.

Its only happened once before, by someone almost, but not quite as small as Henin - Martina Hingis. I think she did it en route to one of her Australian Open titles. There were some truly remarkable shots/points during that match today, I just hope that Venus was a little more classy in defeat than her sister was. Henin really kicked both of their (big) asses.

Djokovic is still on his hot streak that made him win in Montreal and he'll take part in his first grand slam final.

When I saw him earlier in the tournament he looked like a Serbian serial killer, but he's clearly got a strong game and could give Federer trouble (assuming Roger does what he should do in the semis.)

Yeah, the Ferrer-Djokovic match was a disappointment. I expected a lot more from Ferrer especially since he had a love three lead over Novak. Oh well. In the long run, Djokovic will prove to be more than a handful for Federer which seems more likely with Davyanko's lackluster effort. By and large, Super Saturday has been a big bust. Hopefully tonights women's final will be better.

Agreed, both games were a dissappointment, Federer looked human today, an upset brewing for tomorrow maybe ?

Let's hope the ladies will give us something wothwhile tonight.
