US Open Tennis
Our own Laura Robson has beaten Kim Clijsters who promptly announced her retirement.......... nice for the plucky Brit but Clijsters will be missed.
Noise Abatement Report: Sadly, both Squealarenka and Gruntapova both won. If they both reach the final, it will be unwatchable..............

Re: US Open Tennis
............. and having beaten 23-seeded Clijsters, she's only gone and dumped 9-seeded Li Na out - what an angel......... first British woman to reach the last 16 in a Grand Slam since 1998..............

Cracking stuff....though that has to be the end of her run, meeting the current champ in the next round?

Re: US Open Tennis
You never know - but if she gets past Stosur, it's Squeallikeapigarenka, the number one seed, after that. That's the trouble with knocking out seeded players in the middle rounds - the way the draw works, you get another, then another, and so on.....

Later today, Andy Murray's mum will again have divided loyalties as her pride and joy takes on 'Deliciano' (Feliciano Lopez to you and me)...............

Re: US Open Tennis
It's Earplugs Day at the US Open..............
At about 9.45pm this evening (UAE time), Squealarenka will confront Gruntapova with the winner going through to the Final. You can try watching with the sound turned down , but you'll still hear them. [England are away to Moldova in a 2014 WC qually tonight, so that might be a better bet]
Anyway............ here is an entirely gratuitous pic of long-since-retired Anna Kournikova:
