For anyone with DirecTV, the usual five channels are available from 11 a.m. Eastern time until the day session matches end on each court, with no studio chatter from ESPN while the matches are taking place.

903: Ashe
904: Armstrong
905: Grandstand
906: Court 17
907: Court 5

I'm finding it very difficult to find the summaries for the pools, once the votes are all in.

Do you mean the day's Suicide Pool picks, or the poll on who will win the tournament?

The men's Suicide Pool summary is here, just numbers and no commentary yet: viewtopic.php?t=1095

I don't think the women's SP summary is out yet.

The tournament polls are here:
ATP - viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1081
WTA - viewtopic.php?t=1082

Garcia, Riske, and Kalinskaya first through. Kudermetova right behind them. Garcia barely lost points on serve.

RBA and Wolf having the most ridiculous squabble. Men and their stupid towels.

Really nice win for Camilla Osorio over Ann Li.

Great fight and form from Sakkari in her match to beat the player that took her out at Wimbledon.

Zhizhen Zhang is fixing to try to be the first Chinese man to win a match at a grand slam. He's up 2 sets to 0 against grass court season afterthought Tim van Rijthoven, and they are currently 9-9 in the third set tiebreak.

Sounds like someone was a little put out to be unceremoniously dumped out in straight sets.

van Rijthoven won the tiebreak 11-9

Zhang is fading and lost the 4th set 1-6. Meanwhile the other Chinese player in the draw (Wu) has won his first two sets.

Seriously. I thought the complaint was going to be Wolf was getting coached when he went for his towel, not that the towel was distracting him.

Wu won.
Not a real upset because Basilashvili has been playing lousy tennis lately, but a bit, on paper.

And I know it is not going to happen, but Daria Snigur (yes, go ahead, we can make that joke: Wu?) took the first set from Simona.
Ranked 124. That's how close the tour is.

Snigur just took the first set off of Halep. Not familiar at all, but looks like she's a junior GS winner, so not exactly a player that Halep should've been taking for granted she'd get past, not that that's a good plan at any time.

.....Hard court specialist Tim van Rijthoven would like to thank you for your inspirational bemused contempt. :gorgeous:

....AS was also true for Succubus Harmony Tan, Snigur only toyed with our dreams of a humiliating defeat for Patrick-coached Halep. AH, the pain is real. :gorgeous:

Can't believe TVR came back. Zhang had at least 3 match points.

I'm sorry, what? No Chinese man has won a match at a Slam?
