YING & YANG of the day

+ I'm SO glad I backed off the Zheng bandwagon.

My mama said that to me on her deathbed.

[Foxykhat]

2 and 0. I do so love having Maria back. Tough test next in Bondarenko, who seems to have remembered how to play.

Maria will cream her, after all she's still Alona.

Alona did take out Kuznetsova in straights. I dunno.

Love Kuzzie, but she's still Kuzzie sorta like hot mess Venus when she's being a hot mess. Beatable!

Maria will cream her.

I think regardless of the results she should be happy.

Is it me or is this like the weakest quarterfinal line-up ever? It's kinda like a challenger event. And is it even worse that I've heard of every single one of them and how well their year has gone so far?

if this is a challenger-level event, have you seen Strasbourg?

[Jtdrum10]

Anne is really going to town. She's leading 6-0 3-0...

[Jtdrum10]

Well she doesn't get both bagels, she wins 6-0, 6-1

[Jessie181]

Sorry Maria fans

oh, but it's game point for Shaps

It's not over yet. Maria broke Alona serving for the match at 5/0 and held. Now 5/2 Alona will freeze again.

[Foxykhat]

OOPs I was wrong. Never thought Alona could do it even with her playing well.

Foxy

[mwoods]

Maria gets Bondarenko'd.

Hint: Alona looks like a great bet in the first few rounds of the SP, rookies!
