Navratilova wins the mixed doubles!

 

[Raoul]

Whens the mens final on ?

 

[sidsutton]

right about now. they're just gonna warm up.

 

[sidsutton]

Ouch.

Agassi breaks Schuettler's serve to love in the very first game. Could be over quick, this one.

 

[sidsutton]

Schuettler playing a bit better now. The first set is still probably gone but hopefully he can make a real go of it in the 2nd set.

 

[Kevin]

Agassi 5-1 up in the third set. Crap final.

It's often like that when a player who wasn't expected at that level reaches the final...Shame Safin couldn't defend his chances...

Upsets in the early rounds are fun to begin with, until you reach the later stages and then you realise there are crap matches in the semis and finals.

Well not really, because normally the players who cause the upsets are good enough to compete all the way. Schuttler just got lucky with a bye against Safin of all people and a half fit Roddick!

He wouldn't have beaten either normally.

That's my ticket to Paris in the bag.

Can't wait to see Graff's comeback (if she goes through with it) in the mixed doubles.

Should make for an interesting confrontation with Navratilova <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> :lol

she's already won 'em all at grand slams. Singles, Doubles, Mixed Doubles. All 3 categories from all the 4 events. Amazing.
