Only an hour into Friday's play and it looks like there's a major upset on the cards- Knowles and Nestor are down a set and a break to Allegro/Vliegen! Not a great last tournament if they do lose!

Although great for Stretch and Booty if they manage to negotiate their match today!

not that i want to say "i told you so" (but i will anyway :P )

but....i didn't think knowles/nestor had an easy draw.......

Lol, maybe I've cursed it- they're up a break in the second now!

On the women's side French Open champions Molik and Santangelo have made easy work of it, winning 6-3 6-1 against Marrero and Sfar.

Knownest serving for the second set.

Lol, Knownest, I like it!

Knownest win the second set 6-4

I think I prefer Nestles :lol:

The best one is Henwitt for when they played dubs together....


Also Hingis/Hantuchova are a double break up on Yan and Zi.

Knowles/Nestor/ Knownest/ Nestles are up a break in the third!

make that a double break.

martina and dani dished out a bagel to take the first set :yahoo:

Nestles ease through the third set winning 6-1 to set up a potential clash with Booray.

Impressive perfomance!

Yanzi are 3-0 up in the 2nd set though.

I know Raymond/Stosur are Raysur so what do we call Black/ Huber? Bluber?

roflmao roflmao

Dani/Martina lose the second set.

roflmao

Or Blabber ... Huck .. Huback ...

the possibilities are endless ..

Another good one is the Bondarenko sisters....Bonbon...

Lee and Parrott take the first set from Hanley and Ullyett.

martina and dani are through 6-0 3-6 6-4 :) :) :)

A good win there which sets up a potential clash with the #6 seeds Peshcke/Stubbs ( if the latter win their 2nd match).

Bluber not getting it all their way, they drop the second set in a tiebreak.

Huber gets broken in the first game of the third set!

WOW! Bluber are down two breaks in the third set...looks like they're on the way out! It's not often that Cara Black doesn't get into the second week of a slam!(She's already out of the mixed).

Oh well it just means that Huber will have more energy to win with Jamie ;)

So, Camerin and Dulko two points away from victory for the biggest upset of the tournament, in all events, so far!

And they serve it out in style. 1-6 7-6 6-2

Srebotnik and Sugiyama must be the faves now in that top half!

Could we be in for another upset on the women's side? Srebotnik and Sugiyama are down a set against Krajicek and Radwanska.

Raysur will be watching this with interest.

:yikes:

Black/Huber lost???

Raymond and Stosur must be favourites for the title now.

Yep, I'd imagine so but I wouldn't discount Sugi and Srebotnik plus Stosur and Raymond are lacking match practice.

Srebotnik and Sugi regain their composure and take the second set 6-0 and have a break point in the first game of the third set.

That's true. Dani/Martina also look like a good dark horse pairing.....also not counting out Molik/Santangelo....I guess it's still a wide open event :)

It's a lot more wide open than it was before Bluber lost ;)

#3 seeds are now serving for the match.

Butorac/Murray have just started their match.....

Booray are serving at 4-5 having been a break down.

Overrated Murray and Butorac partnership on their way out. 7-5, 4-1 down to Delic and Gimelstob.

And they're outta there :confused:

Can't say it wasn't expected!
