Pac fight about to begin. Not a boxing fan myself, however there is nothing else on at 11:30PM

Any chance we witness an EPL team this year that can't score this many goals all year?

Only if we can't beat Lugano.

What an absolute waste of time this game had to be. Imagine if Leighton baines or someone had torn an ACL....

I don't watch a ton of shows, but I am currently watching Narcos (as stated before) and started watching 'Suits', which is surprisingly very entertaining.

Kerber defeats Serena. Sucks - but congrats to Kerber.

I will say Anderson falling, getting up and hitting it back with his left hand for to ultimately win the point was the shot of the year for me.

Has to go back to having a tie-breaker. Imagine a World Cup semi-final NOT going to Penalty Kicks, and each team being so tired all they can do is the odd ball attack, and you have to watch it for an additional 4 hours over the already 2 that normally would...No one wants to watch a 6 hour soccer match, nor do they in tennis. It's not just boring, it's idiotic and such a disadvantage to both the winner of the match, and the next match on. Silly rule, there is a strong reason for PK's whether you like it or not, and there needs to be a tie-breaker for 5th set tie breakers.

Never have been a fan of Novak's, and I absolutely love watching Nadal play, however I have a feeling that Novak is going to take this match and go on to play Anderson.

Tennis is a joke with having these matches go this long. This issue has to be addressed, especially at Wimbledon where their is an ordinance that means these players must end at 11pm, meaning this match will head into tomorrow (most likely). So dumb.

Also, I'm not sure I can explain any of my fascinations except for Iceland (Bobby Fischer)...

Denmark, Romania, Hungary and Iceland.

Yeah - I am fascinated by about 4 countries in the world, and Denmark is one. I actually visited Copenhagen maybe 10-15 years ago and absolutely loved it. I remember enjoy Tivoli park and having some of the best ice cream I've ever had.

How's that going? I have looked into Danish, however it's somewhat pointless unless you have so tie into Denmark.

Let me know how that goes. Also, are you seriously Danish?

Interesting little tid bit. They are now tracking how many ft the players ran during the match. Well Anderson ran more, and did so by running 11,384.3, which is just above 2 miles, or just a shade under 3.5km. As a runner and a tennis player, I would have thought there was more running.

And Anderson completes the upset. Federer is out in the Quarter Finals.

And Anderson breaks Fed... Oh my...

@nudge - If you haven't yet, you should check out Yellow Bridge's website. Great for learning how to say and write characters in Mandarin.

You can. So I learned a bit of Romanian, and partly how I did it was by reaching out to the regional Romanian representative, and asking him how to immerse with local Romanians, to which he gave me a few options. I promise you can do the same in San Diego

Chinese is a funny language, I lived there myself and studied it for years using kids books and just speaking with the locals. Personally, while Chinese was my...5th or so language that I studied, it was somewhat easier because I was living in a small city in China where no one spoke English except for my students and few engineers that lived in the city. Also, my friend learned it through Duolingo (or learned as much as you can with Duolingo), and is in Shanghai now, saying that it absolutely helped him. With almost all languages, including Arabic, Hindi, and Chinese (some of the hardest languages to learn for native English speakers), the key is to find a community that speaks that language and immerse yourself with them. Right now I'm studying Spanish and I am only drinking Mexican beer, listing to the Spanish radio station to and from work, and eating at a Mexican restaurant while ordering for me and my family all in Spanish.

I can't even find any mention of it on Al Jazeera https://www.aljazeera.com/

Yes - Would be incredible if she were to win it after having a baby just a year ago. On the Men's side, this has to be Federer's...Tennis is severely lacking new blood. Just when you think baby Zverev is coming along, he vanishes alongside Tsonga, Raonic, and the rest of the failed, 'next generation'. It's the Nadal and Federer show until they are too old to play.
