Li Na, talking about her mother
It's just been a topsy-turvy match, and you wonder if it doesn't have one more topsy in it.
Pam Shriver
Maybe next time you go into a Grand Slam, you should have no practice and no matches.
Yeah, I think I should have surgery before every Grand Slam, definitely.
Agnieszka Radwanska
She's consistent, with her consistency.
Brad Gilbert, referring to Vera Zvonareva
The tennis is like this. Like sometimes you down, you win. Sometimes you up, you lose.
Peng Shuai
You won the first set, then what happened after that?
She won the second and the third.
Flavia Pennetta
I don't trust Kvitova at all; she could pull off an upset.

Speaking of Gilbert, if he keeps referring to Li as "Li Na, Na Li" I think I'm going to injury myself from rolling my eyes so much.
At least he isn't talking about those great young players, Pavlenkova and Kvotova. I've heard that for a few days now on the ESPN3 broadcast.
I forgive the Na Li/Li Na business -- to be honest, I have trouble remembering despite a few clever (or so I thought) tricks.
I see why "BG" was let go by Andy Roddick and Andy Murray -- he like to talk, and talk...and talk.
Ah, but Anon, you're not being paid great quantities of money to get it right.
I want to put him in a room with Elise Burgin and not let them out until the tournament is over.
At least Elise Bergin likes women's tennis and understands it. Not like the guy on the first day who, when asked for his picks, said, "I don't really follow the women's side of tennis. It's boring." He was calling a woman's match in the first round.
It would be nice if she could stop talking for five minutes. But compared to the sheer awfulness of ESPN coverage and their ability to ignore what's going on in front of them in favor of their own personal coffee klatch, I'll take Elise.
And -- if you are going to put people in a room for the duration, how about shoving Dick Enberg in there, too? Please? He must get paid by the word.

I'm not the right person to ask. I thought he should have been fired after the 2005 U.S. Open incident.
