US Open 2009 Day 10: Wickmayer v K Bondarenko

Katerina had an amazing run – up until now… from the outset she seemed very bunny-headlightly – Wickmayer was swinging free and granted KBond was strapped up by now but it really seemed that the occasion had gotten to her – her amazing run of form and freedom on hard courts seemed to come to a juddering stop. She was pretty inhibited and just never really got herself going… losing in straights

A word on corporate hospitality - working for a corp myself - it's not an alien concept to have debenture users flitting back and forth from freebie bars - hell on Ashe you could hear conversation, laughing, joking and cutlery rattling from the restauarants.
But we had a couple of guys who really could not have cared less about the tennis in front of us ... one with a very girlie man-purse to boot!
Les deferred all tennisy knowledge to me - which consisted of trying to explain how seeding works (they thought the numbers in brackets were the girls' ages!)
What can you say - it happens... can be amusing and sad all at the same time.

Anyhooo......
