Dont laugh Edin i feel mightily ashamed
Robbo was dominating that set too. Silly one to lose.
TIE-BREAK - Robson 6-7 (5-7) Kanepi
Robson, as cool as a cucumber that's been wrapped in an ice pack and placed in the fridge overnight, conjures an ace to ease 3-0 ahead. The Brit pins her opponent back on the baseline with a series of menacing forehands and Kanepi eventually falters, pushing a forehand long and Robson leads 4-2 at the changeover.
A snapper refocuses his lens, thinking he is about to capture Robson clinching the set. But the Brit, from 5-2 up, is suddenly at 5-5 - a lazy double fault from Robson allowing her rival to level. A crunching forehand winner from the Estonian for set point. Wow! Robson superbly saves courtesy of a booming forehand return. Second set point Kanepi... the Estonian drags Robson from tramline to tramline and the bedraggled Brit sends a backhand wide.

That is a great bit of commentary
Robbo served for the set
And was 5-2 up in the tie breaker
And still lost the set
Serena really is horrendous.
Her photo on the BBC live printer almost made me throw up
NA BOTHER
Li Na polishes off Roberta Vinci on Court Three - straight sets 6-2 6-0 win for the former French Open champion. And Serena breaks Lisicki again - 4-1 up now in the second set and about to serve.

NA BOTHER
serena is a tennis player first and foremost. It's not her job to look pretty. she's an athlete. to be the best in this era, athletes male or female need to bulk up and gain muscle and power. Otherwise they are not doing themselves justice.
But what do I care about some Amurkin OOF? All I want her to do is lose to the likes of Robson and look good whilst doing so.
I don't think she cares about that though. And lose to Robson . She would vaporize Robson.
Why do I give a damn what she cares about? I just want the brits to do well and the non brits to look good whilst losing.
Serena demolished that second set
Meltzer V Janowicz going to a fifth set
Robbo gold hold to stay on serve in the 2nd
You have to feel sorry for Serenas opponents. She's like a lion about to eat her pray. Amazing player. It's a breath of fresh air watching a genuine good player. The likes of Sharapova are really not that good. When Henin was playing women's tennis was much better. Too many light weights in the women's game to concerned with their image.
Champagne moment
"Big news. We have had a proposal on the Hill as one young gentleman decides that the mid-point of the second set is the perfect point to drop a knee and upgrade his girlfriend's status.
"The crowd cheer heartily. Every other time I've seen it attempted in a sporting arena, the happy couple got chants of "you don't know what you're doing" and "you're getting nagged in the morning"."
I wonder when their break point will be
