You're amazing

Thanks.

Last year, I also emailed WDFN, who had been the local Pistons radio station during 2004. The Pistons would change radio stations during a later year.

I emailed them to ask if they could send me a podcast of game 5 of the 2004 Finals. They said they don't have access to that audio anymore.

How can a station not keep every playoffs game for the major sports team that they broadcasted? And not just any playoffs game, but the NBA Finals? That they won? I'd think that just by keeping the audio, they would have been promoting the station too, and the history of important sports events that happened under them.

I like Lucic-Baroni's story.

Donaldson up a set and break on Troicki

Donaldson through to round 3 to face Donald Young or Karlovic

Nice hold by Stevie after facing triple break point. On serve in the first set

Simon vs. Lorenzi was a good match. I wish Simon would have won, but good for the 34 year old Lorenzi to make his first career 3rd round at any major.

It went into a 5th set tiebreaker.

I like watching Venus' joy during every postgame interview.

The Roland Garros form wants to know my birthday. They better not spam me.

Email sent.

(Replace relevant details with the AO details, for the AO email.)

I also sent emails to Wimbledon and the USTA for the size question.

Hi,

I have a few questions about attending Roland Garros during the French Open.

1) If I buy a ticket to Philippe Chatrier court, does that also include a grounds pass? Can I also watch matches on other courts?

What about Suzanne Lenglen court?

2) Approximately how many square feet, acres, or square meters is the entire Roland Garros tennis complex? I'm just curious how the sizes of the facilities at the four majors compare.

Thank you.

Lol some ticket reseller site called eSeats.

So not the most accurate source of info.

Can you find another pic with the court numbers labeled? I can't find one.

Also, how can 5 practice courts be enough for 128 men + 128 women + all of the doubles, boys, girls teams?

Even if 1/2 only play on the same day, that's still a lot of people.

Do the rest of the players practice elsewhere?

If so, where?

Draws opens up for Keys and she is a game away from being eliminated. Just wow

 

[bksballer89]

Will try but I believe it is how the US Open will look after the Old Grandstand is took down after this year.

 

[bksballer89]

Wow Novak just got all his opponents retiring. 6 total games played in 2nd & 3rd round

 

[Old Lion]

Holy shit, Sock made quick work of Cilic in straight sets. WOW

US men seem to be getting better. Could be a resurgence coming. Harrison did get beat today though. Still, the youngsters have looked good this Summer.
