Heck, I can't even find a good online schedule to tell me who plays when. I *think* Ivanovic is playing right now, but it's hard to tell.

Tennis Channel:: The World's only 24/7 Tennis TV Network is the best I've seen. You can watch live, and also click on live scoring and full bracket...

Roland Garros - The 2008 French Open - Official Site by IBM

obviously not on tv, but it's the best site to keep up with games. It's typically not too far behind the live stats, although the other day, the Venus match was behind a whole set.

and Ana won in straight sets.

Just saw some highlights on ESPN.

Ana is a fetching young woman.

i'm trying to resist the urge to post another pic of her...

Vercingetorix · 05-28-2008, 12:27 PM

Why would you even try to resist that urge? She won today, after all. A celebratory image or two would be entirely appropriate.

Lo and behold, I do have the Tennis Channel after all. Last time I looked, I didn't. Good to know. Thanks for the schedules -- perhaps I'll actually get to see her play in her next match.

volfanbill · 05-28-2008, 12:30 PM

well, if you insist!

Vercingetorix · 05-28-2008, 01:12 PM

Excellent. My three-year-old just saw that picture and said, "Look! It's a picture of Mommy!"

Uh, not quite, son. Not quite.

That may be the most unflattering tennis dress in recent history. What's with that puffy crap at the bottom? She should lose that dress.....

I saw her first...

see post 12.

I'm not wild about sharing either...

OWH, you should be ashamed. Ana makes any dress flattering. Also since you did nothing to claim her in the Aussie Open thread, she was open. I claimed her, as did Vercin. I get her on days that end in Y, and he gets her all the other days.

volfanbill · 05-28-2008, 11:03 PM

maybe since you've lost Ana OWH, you can pick up Ashley Harkleroad...

Tennis' Harkleroad to be in 'Playboy' magazine - USATODAY.com

since the article doesn't pose a great pic of her, I'll help ya'll out:

Vercingetorix · 05-28-2008, 11:30 PM

I am too old, married, and broken down to even pretend that Ana would do anything except call security on me.

volfanbill · 05-29-2008, 11:24 PM

Jankovic and Venus easily cruised winning in two sets apiece. Amelie Mauresmo lost in straight sets as did Elena Dementieva. Maria is struggling in the second set and will finish tomorrow. Ana also plays her third round match tomorrow

Not really a surprise, but Blake lost early again. A bigger surprise to me is David Nalbandian losing today. David Ferrer absolutely cruised. He could cause some serious problems. Federer lost his first set, but turned it on to win the next three. Nadal and Davydenko didn't have many troubles either. Round 3 starts tomorrow and I think things should start to get more interesting.
