I really like Peter Fleming as a commentator/pundit. He manages to combine an air of being very knowledgeable but not overly fussed about what's going on. I love his raised eyebrows when Marcus asks him what he considers to be a stupid question.
Why is the 10 minute heat break available for women after one set and not the men? The women only play best of three! I'm sure someone will have a good reason but it sounds incredibly sexist to me.

Agreed, best of 5 can sometimes be 3-4 hours, not allowing that 10 minute break is just cruel, it doesn't even change the game all that much either. Pure madness.
Not half. I was lucky enough to be there last year. On Day 4 I was watching Fed I think against Carlos Berlocq and I have a photo of me as the only one in a block of four rows!

Fantastic. Enjoy. I hope you get a more competitive session than I got. Of the three matches I saw on Arthur Ashe the two ladies singles were won in straight sets 3 & 1 and 3 & 0! And then Fed won in straight sets giving away just 8 or so games too.
Edit: just looked it up. He actually won just giving up 6 games. Must have been the shortest session on record.
Isn't there much demand for tickets? I couldn't imagine so many empty seats for a men's singles match at Wimbledon even if Centre Court had a similar capacity.
Am I the only one who is getting sick to the back teeth of the constant fawning over Dimitrov? He seems like a genuinely nice guy but enough already.:(
And it doesn't help having his romance constantly shoved in my face....sorry NotSean.

True. She seemed like a future top 5 at least. Cold still happen though?
Stephens has really gone backwards this year. You can't just lose talent I guess but her 2014 has been disappointing and that's an understatement.
Great return from Feli to give him the 4th set. VAMOS!:D

It's always like that until the 2nd week.
People watching matches on other courts have a reserved seat on Ashe, which they may not want.

Those empty seats at the top are not sold.
Hope it will be the same for me next week.

Have you got the official luminous pink "DS" t shirt so that we can identify you? I think Ferrer's people designed it.:p

They were all out of luminous pink. They are very popular. I got the luminous yellow one.
It is one of the finer examples of the challenge - his wife-to-be is a lucky lady!
Is he dating Caro now?
No, he's just got engaged to a Spanish model/celeb, Alba Carrillo
Of course. As you do. Shame for Hewitt. Wonder if he will retire after the AO.
