Tell me a secret, "Why aren't you resting?"Professional doubles players, please forgive me, but you must agree -- that winning a grand slam singles title would be preferable to winning the doubles title. I’m not being rude, just throwing it out there.
Venus Williams is hobbled right now. She’s hurting and for the second fastest woman in the game, (Serena is Faster) Venus needs to be taking it easy between singles matches, not hopping around on the doubles court. That being said, you can catch Venus and her kid sis Serena mixing it up on the Grand Stand Court this afternoon against Julia Goerges and Arantxa Parra Santonja. The best thing that could befall Venus in this situation is a painless and calculated default.
Moving on to the women’s singles draw, top-seeded Dinara Safina has a chance to get her act together and forget about her first round performance. Getting some second serves in would be a terrific start.
Maria Sharapova is in good shape today squaring off against a 17-year-old named Christina McHale from Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
4th seeded Elena Dementieva is taking on another American teenager named Melanie Oudin. Melanie, from Marietta, Georgia created quite a stir this summer by reaching the 4th round of Wimbledon.
Turning to the men’s side, Novak Djokovic is the highest seed in action today and should have little trouble with the six-foot-six-inch giant from Down Under, Carsten Ball. 5th seeded Andy Roddick plays the last match of the evening on Arthur Ashe Stadium against Marc Gicquel from France.
hysterical john ---- gotta love those Williams girls!
