But Stan's game is good for the French, and if he stays focused he should be able to slug it out with Djoker.

I thought it was all over when Fed lost, lol.

I am ok with either Murray or Djoker. Don't hate them, don't love them but I too am pulling for Lucie.

It is just this year that I am finding some of the women really interesting again. If only I did not have to mute so much

but even though it is so totally none of my business I am having a hard time liking his "business" decision. Sounds pretty jerky to me.

The women. Grunting does not bother me but that high squealing, sighing does. It makes me think of loud little girls who would never grunt because girls don't grunt and it pisses me off. That is my own bias right there but it is what it is. When Sharapova's last match was on it sounded like high pitched yodeling. Mute is our friend.

cuz he's so cute and I'd really like to see him win a slam.

But Stan played really well and he has the prettiest backhand since Henin.

am I ever disappointed. But yeah, it seems to be endemic to French men's tennis--and, frankly, a lot of men's tennis generally.
