She beat a pretty tough opponent in hard-hitting Croat Karolina Sprem, rather convincingly too, 6-4, 6-2.

Yep, on the verge of going down two sets to one. Even if he does pull this one out in 5, at his age, he may struggle to muster up enough energy for an even tougher opponent in Baghdatis next round. Of course, he would first have to come back from behind here. Situation looking very bleak for him.

poondu · « **Reply #3 on:** August 29, 2006, 03:20:04 AM »

Pavel is playing pretty well(esp the backhand). Never watched him closely before. Hope Agassi gets through in 5 here. Will worry about the second round if he gets there

Man I wanted to give this guy a send off with a cheer when he loses, because there will be a lot of sobbing fans

. Don't tell me he lost it. I am spending upward of $100 to get there.

Rams, how are the tickets priced ? Is it for each match or Do you pay for the tickets for a particulary day and watch all matches in a particular court ?

Sahir:Let me tell you if you know me well in personal life I treat all this as fun. Sports is that to me. No hate, but fun and what is wrong in rooting for the opponent. Plus I get to see the end match of a successful career.

It does not seem like fun for you when someone calls Laxman Mr. Zero or roots for him to fail.

Sahir · « **Reply #12 on:** August 29, 2006, 03:34:46 AM »

I figured he would just give this set up and conserve energy for the next two, but he's comeback from 4-0 down to 4-4

I never questioned people or quarelled when they called him Mr.Zero or Lakhan. If in fact if you show a post in that thread proving otherwise I will owe you one. However I am going to take up for my guy as long as he has due credentials in my books, just like I would call for his axing otherwise.

Poondu:Go to ticketmaster.com and purchase it there. Then type in the day and the session you want to attend. That ticket gives you access to one featured match each for men and women on Arthur Ashe stadium plus you can go and watch any number of outside court matches as you wish for that session. I think most of them are gone now, if any you may get a seat in the bleachers. The start is $36 for 2nd week, $44, $75 etc for a evening session. For day session it is a little more. Add another 20% or so for each ticket as processing fee, tax etc.

OK looks like he will survive to fight another day. If he plays Baghdatis he will be in trouble and if he gets past that I can watch him. It will be a close call.

Yeah, Baghdatis will be really tough; real tough draw with Johansson, Roddick, and and Ljubicic as possible upcoming opponents.

Sania blows away Sprem in the first round would have been a better title. And then you would have the calls for Fatwa.

Yeah, and she just dropped out of the top 50, to number 54. Here's to hoping she picks it up on her favorite surface-- hardcourt.

Sania falling apart in the 2nd set after winning the 1st 7-5. She was up 4-1 and 2 breaks, but then went down 4-5 before reeling off 3 games to win the 1st set. Now she's down 2 breaks, 4-0 in 2nd set
