Afternoon, all.

The original Crisis Center thread is at over 1100 comments. Happily, Rosangel's flight to New York hasn't coincided with a washout: given the later start time of the Nadal-Murray SF, my hope is that she's happily watching the match on Armstrong right now (since I haven't checked on the score in that SF, I can't attest to her precise state of happiness).

In the other SF, Roger Federer has defeated Novak Djokovic in four sets. Congratulations to him and his fans, and commiserations to Djokovic fans. I hope you enjoy the rest of today's tennis. The WTA final between Serena Williams and Jelena Jankovic is scheduled to start this evening, although the weather forecasts have suggested that the chance that this will go ahead on schedule are quite slim.

Please keep conversations directed towards tennis until the day's play is done, after which it's OK to go off topic. As always, enjoy the tennis.
