Vinci has always been a very tricky opponent for Aga, but on the other hand Aga has always beaten her I think.
Don't know what to think about this match to come.

Again, the organizers put the World No.2 on the Armstrong, when Ivanovic/Pironkova are on the Arthur Ashe (the same happened with Kirilenko/Arn earlier this week), for obvious non-sporting reasons. The sort of things you will never see on the men side.

You don't? You have mugs like Isner or Roddick (2012) put on Arthur Ashe and good players like Berdych playing on Grand Stand. Organizers have to sell tickets and Ivanovic has more star power than Aga. Louis Armstrong is still bigger than Centre Court or Philip Chatrier so I'm sure if people want to see Aga, they'll have enough seats for that.  That's nothing to be outraged about, really.  (well unless you bought the ticket 2 days ago hoping they would put her on AA)

Isner and Roddick are local players, it's normal to have them playing in front of their crowd on the biggest courts. For the others, I know they have to sell tickets but they would never do that with the men.
What was the reason for Kirilenko/Arn to be put on a bigger court than the World No.2, "relegated" on 3rd court in terms of capacity? Non-sporting reason, as I said

Good win over Jankovic, Aga ! 
Hope Aga is ready for "on fire" Vinci. Aga has to play really well

But Grand Stand was not even full in her match against CSN, so I don't think any harm happened. They wouldn't put any of the top 4 in men's game on smaller courts, but they've been top 4 for so many years they have amazing star power, whereas Aga is a relatively new addition to the very top of the game. If she stays there for 2-3 more years, I don't think she'll be treated differently from Murray.
I think if you had told Aga a year ago that she would play her 1st and 3rd round matches on AA against some scrubs she would have felt happy and honored at such prospect.

Answering you question, JJ won their match in Fed Cup. I guess 7:5 in final set.

One of the worst losses in quite a while. Very disappointing, even if Vinci was playing great tennis.
Hopefully Aga will try have a good finish of the season in Asia and YEC.
And she needs to rethink her schedulling. It's not the first time she's injured at USO.

Aga
Vinci played her best, 100% and Aga only 10%

Agreed. This 'put on your superman cape when you play Aga' phenomenon is damn annoying.
