| Misty May-Treanor intimidates the hell out of me, she's so good. It's like the year anniversary of the last time she lost and yet she's feverish and coughing like crazy, and she and Kerri are still dominating.

May-Treanor probably has 102 fever, but her and Walsh are still kicking people's ass. __________________ "...but I still like to think there is something about Pacey and me that no one can ever quite touch." | |||

And as amazing as Misty's run is, it's worth noting that this is also the 90-somethingth (yeah, I know that isn't a word) consecutive win May-Treanor and Walsh have had as a team. And obviously, a great deal of those (all, really) have come when Kerri's shoulder wasn't 100%. They're pretty much beyond awesome. __________________ Summer Wenn man füreinander bestimmt ist, kann die Welt untergehen – aber man ist wenigstens zu zweit.

| Moderator Support Team ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Yeah, I always hear how many matches in a row they've won as a team. That's a great accomplishment. I really hope (and think) they will repeat as champions on Wednesday. Can't wait to see that match. __________________ "...but I still like to think there is something about Pacey and me that no one can ever quite touch." | |||

| Ahhh, I hope so. They're so adorable on and off the court. I love how they obviously have a real respect for each other and a friendship even when they're not playing. It's kind of refreshing to see. __________________ Summer Wenn man füreinander bestimmt ist, kann die Welt untergehen – aber man ist wenigstens zu zweit.

I just think she's so cute and seems like so much fun. I always listen to their interviews. I look to see if her wedding ring is taped up now, too. Hee. They showed May-Treanor's comedic side the other day! She was dancing on the steps of somewhere and it was hilarious. __________________ "...but I still like to think there is something about Pacey and me that no one can ever quite touch." | |||

| Yeah, apparently Misty's the more lighthearted of the two? It kind of surprised me, although I'm not really even sure why. The feature with the Chinese volunteer finding Kerri's ring was so adorable. I cracked up at the expression on his face after she slapped his butt. Too funny. __________________ Summer Wenn man füreinander bestimmt ist, kann die Welt untergehen – aber man ist wenigstens zu zweit. Lieber gemeinsam ertrinken, als alleine verbrennen. | |||
