    Just turned it on. Big win for Fish, too.

    And he takes the second set. The crowd seems like it has really gotten behind him.

    Nadal was up 4-2 in the second and the kid came back and won 5 of the next 6 to take the set 7-5. Pretty damn impressive.

    He broke Nadal like three times in that set (and was broken twice). Damn.

    And he's American. I'd be surprised if the crowd didn't get behind after he started playing really well.

    Nadal has looked good so far in the 3rd. Took the early break (didn't see it since there was a news break) and saved three break points to go up 2-0.

    I really don't think Querrey has a chance to win, but that's the first set Nadal has lost in this tourney.

    It looks like he has an easy draw if he can beat Querrey. Fish then the highest seed for the semis is Murray who I think he should handle well.

    Nadal's forehand is off today.

    And yea, if he gets through this match the rest of the draw is easier than the other half.

    I'm thinking of going tomorrow. Who's on Center Court around 5 p.m.?

    Tomorrow's sked not up yet. Why 5 o'clock? Day session will be almost over by then and night is separate admission.

    If one of the night matches isn't Roddick-Gonzalez, I'll be shocked.

    I have something to do at 2'ish, when I'm there, last me till 4'ish. You're right, though. I'll wait for the night session. I want to see a Center Court match, though.
