Should Venus & Serena reach the 3rd round, they play each other.

Oh, that's not good. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

I'm of a mind to slap you silly, and if you hit back, I'll report you for elder abuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife already does that.

Venus, against an unknown, just came through the 1st round 6-4, 6-1. Serena leads vs. another unknown in set one, 5-2.

Wait a minute...your wife's a senior citizen?

I find it interesting that the WTA can't seem to put the Williams sisters on opposite sides of the draw, while the NCAA selection committee can't put UCONN and Tennessee on the same side...

Nah, she just slaps me silly. Maybe I can report her??

 

[Zorro]

You just did.

The Woz is gone, so too is the Aussie winner, Stan Wawrinka/

Problem solved. Both lose in 2nd round upsets. Serena stunner as she limps out 6-2 6–2.

You can still slap me silly, I'd be too happy to notice.

Things always seem to work out.

This is gonna end up being one of the most boring French Open's in history.... or at least since I've started watching it. There are only five players I care to watch... and 3 of them are already out

 

[EricLA]

Bummer for Serena and Venus, but congrats to the young women who beat them.

Really? Both?

On the other hand, an 18-year-old Taylor Townsend upset Cornet in a tough match where she almost choked after a huge lead in both the 2nd and 3rd sets. You can chalk the mini-chokes up to youthful inexperience, and I give her great credit for pulling it out at the end.

She's quite likable and I hope she continues to improve. At the risk of bringing up an issue that can be sensitive in this forum, I do think she could elevate her game a great deal by improving her physical fitness.
