QUOTES OF THE DAY:

Svitolina: "For me it was very tough match, but in the end, you know, I found a way here and there, one, two points that made the difference in the second, and then, you know, we were in third set already, and then the fight began. That's, you know, that's tennis. That's what happens. You know, a few points here or there can decide."

Stephens: "I thought she played well. Obviously it was a tough match from the very beginning. Not even knowing if I was going to qualify here and everything that happened towards the end, I was just really excited to be here and excited to compete with everybody. I thought I did really well this whole week, a lot to be proud of."

Mladenovic: "I think each other's weapons are a perfect match for the doubles game, and our communication is good. Doubles is going so fast that sometimes you don't really have time to call the balls and to communicate, and I feel like we feel each other's mindset. It's pretty fun to try to associate our both games."

Babos: "We are here with the best players, doubles players and of course singles players in the world. It's just an amazing story and feeling, and to share it with Kiki and to live through these moments together, it's very, very special. I'm really, really glad to be part of this story."

Svitolina's game is fine. The funny part is I have trouble remembering her face, particularly off-court. I'm usually not that bad with this... She might have made a good spy in some alternate universe

Or you'd make a very bad one

Svitolina was called out for some "soft porn" pics she did earlier this year.

I completely missed this. Is it closer to SI Swimsuit or more along the Ashley Harkleroad lines? Is that something people or players are holding against her?

Many fans felt that she was a rising star and didn't have to participate in a photoshot like that. It was way earlier this year. I'll see if I can find them. They'll probably have to be posted in the "WAYYYYY Off The Court" thread.

I posted the pics in that thread. I thought we were talking about this in the pics off the court thread

Not sure this is an official photo, but clearly something close to it for Elina Svitolina.

I wonder if that's a traditional pattern on her blouse?

[ponchi101]

I know she has a pretty face but if she continues with the Queen Elizabeth I hairdo's, there is no hope.
