Thought I'd start this off, as Monday is fast approaching.

Checked my TV coverage for this and its pretty disappointing! Eurosport only showing semis and finals and only an hour's coverage of each! :sad:

Ah! 3 more days to go :bounce: Only SF and F on Eurosport? That sucks big time. I think I'll rely on Sporza for some coverage or else, Eurosport 2.

Ugh, just typical Eurosport :rolleyes: I don't see it on the TV schedule either. And Eurosport 2 usually has trouble with broadcasting the right things at the right time :rolleyes: , so...if Kim makes the final I'm sure Sporza will show it. I think Eurosport will show coverage from the other WTA tournaments that are coming up after Stanford, so fingers crossed for that.

I absolutely hate relying on eurosport with their "unique" :rolleyes: way of broadcasting things at the 'right' :rolleyes: time. I even went so far with some other tournies, to keep my tv on eurosport the whole week, so I wouldnt miss anything. :lol:

I will put my money on Sporza for any Kim matches next week.

Thanks for posting. Kim should be able to make the SF, and then it will get...tough :lol:

Now that I look at it, Kim really has the easiest quarter of the draw:

Sugiyama has been in bad form all year.
Stosur hasn't won many matches since Australia.
Stevenson doesn't deserve that wildcard in any way.
Hantuchova, IMO, will be the biggest challenge in this section.
Then the qualifier
And Zvonareva's mental.

Yes, but as Billy Ocean famously sang, "When the going gets tough .........."

And to head off any smartass replies:

*the punch line is NOT "Kim loses to Lindsay again"!*

;)

Well, if you'd like to have the right lyrics for the song, I suggest you start singing and recording it yourself. Otherwise we're stuck with this Barbie version. :devil:

Getting back ON topic for a moment ;) , Kim has a bye in round 1 so I assume she doesnt play until at least Tuesday?

I've checked out the BOTW website but there is nothing about tomorrow's order of play. In fact, the whole site seems a tad dozy (even with the time difference).

I heard more people complain about that, it's a crappy website, I just hope that the Live Scoreboard is working, that's all I care about.

Yep, the way it is now either Tuesday or Wednesday :)
