Sharapova is coming off a few weeks missing play due to a stomach virus, with the pain leading her to take a pregnancy test, which came out negative. Azarenka in a late match rolled over Russian Alexandra Panova 6-1, 6-0.

Donald Young talks about his losing streak.

Notes: Of course Isner could meet Mahut in the second round; players looking to get additional grasscourt practice in for the Olympics in London at Wimbledon; first-rounders of interest are (5) Bogomolov Jr. vs. Querrey, and (WC) Hewitt vs. Canadian riser Vasek “Popsicle” Pospisil; other wildcards went to Americans Jack Sock and Harrison; Isner (2011) is the lone returning champ in the field.

In the big shocker of the season, Serena Williams suffered her earliest Grand Slam loss at the hand of Frenchwoman Virginie Razzano.

“It was a tough loss for me [at the Australian Open],” Young said. “I thought I was going to win the match because I had beaten Lukas Lacko previously at the US Open last year. It’s probably more mental than anything. I try to figure it out in my head. Strength? I really like my forehand and weakness, I work it out, making everything better, probably mental or just getting my emotions better.”

Donald Young is starting to make waves, tonight he’ll play Andy Murray for the Bangkok title.

Fish said he will sleep with…well, the Fish family, knowing he put in a career-best effort after a career-best U.S. summer season.

Donald Young continued his boy-to-man transformation of the summer of 2011, ousting No. 14 seed Stan Wawrinka 7-6(1) in the fifth set.

“I warmed up and got sick everywhere after my 30-minute warmup,” Niland told reporters. “I thought I could bluff my way through but you can’t do that against the No. 1 in the world, I just found out. I thought I was going to vomit after long points. I just felt really, really rotten out there.”

Donald Young gets in some hot water with the USTA.
