It is funny with Maria still clearly rusty, Elena in her current form should roll over her. However Elena has always seemed to have a mental block with Maria. Elena will probably still win but it will probably be hard work as it has been so far.

It just seems Russian girls are inherently bad at serving. Doesn't matter where they got trained. It's just in their genes. LMAO

The only one I can think of with a decent serve is Kuzzy, her 2nd serve is pretty good also.

I'd add Petrova to the list, but then again that's about the only thing she's relatively consistent with.

they also seem to be very emotionally expressive, from what i've seen of most of the russian women on the tour (except maybe for kleybanova who's more stoic), IOW just "let it all hang out"

question: do you (or does anybody) know the name of the sportscaster on tennistv wta? I've noticed him before, and he's very pleasant and knowledgeable, but i've never heard him say his name.

Just finish the damn match already. I am so sick of the stupid WTA choking.

Good win for Elena! Thank goodness she held her nerves enough to win for once.

It's held in Toronto on odd-years. Last year it was in Montreal.

just got the answer to my question!
His name is Kevin Skinner!
He finally said his name at the very end of the broadcast. I've been wondering who he is since the very first time I heard him broadcasting the clay matches in charleston earlier this year.

55% voted for Clijsters???
I suppose these are probably frustrated WTA critics. Clijsters will probably do well when she gets back in form, but she still can't compete with the Top 5 IMO.

wow. i am watching the delayed match on espn2 and sharapova got upset at michael joyce for talking too loud
i've sometimes thought that the coach was purposely talking loud enough to allow his player's opponent to hear what he was saying, especially when they say something that is in some way a negative against that opponent! :shock:
Oui c'est moi.

Wish I could have seen the finish, but the first set took so long my DVR stopped recording midway through the second. The serving was ugly, but some terrific hitting and defense by both players.
The last two matches Dementieva played were great to watch. It's inspiring to see a player make that kind of improvement so late in their career.

I loved that match between Dementrieva and Sharapova. I saw a lot of amazing rallies.
