Monica

My Romanians have had an awful year in singles...

[Ti-Amie]

Amelie Mauresmo


Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez

[Charlie02123]

Those are both pretty unflattering pictures.

[Moose]

Alize actually won a match!

[nelslus]

Good news: Venus already has 10 aces, early in the 2nd set.

Bad news: As is typical, Venus wins the first set easily, but is still now somehow down a break in the second.

[Ti-Amie]

Ayumi Morita


Alize Cornet


Serena

[jjnow]

When I saw the draw with Dinara listed at No. 1, I was thinking that Serena must have pulled out.

I forgot that she's No. 2 now.

[manolo]

Wow, A-Bond only managed to win one game against A-Rad... she's been having a terrible season...

[James7]

When I saw the draw with Dinara listed at No. 1, I was thinking that Serena must have pulled out.

I forgot that she's No. 2 now.

I had the same reaction. It's one thing hearing about and discussing it, but it's another thing to actually see it in a draw.

[rabbit]

Alize actually won a match!

YESSS! Long time coming. But I thought she had said she was injured in the groin?

[mmmm8]

When I saw the draw with Dinara listed at No. 1, I was thinking that Serena must have pulled out.

I forgot that she's No. 2 now.

She´s always seemed like a No. 2 to me

(Too far?)

[suliso]

She´s always been a No. 2 in my heart

You now a Serena fan?
