Kuznetsova just took the 1st set: 6-3.

I can't see the match, but I think she is cutting Serena's arse. But I think this might go the distance. :)

Alright alright. I want Sveta to win. Sounds good ??? How about that :confused:.

I've switched over to the match, Sveta is going to kick serena's ass. Like that!!
damn now it's just 2-1 for sveta in the second. hope she is gonna bring it home in straight sets
 
Game, set, match:

Kuznetsova def Williams 6-3, 6-3. :eek:

Kuznetsova outplayed the Serena and I hope she doesn't have nothing to pull out of the bag.

Seems like Svetlana didn't give Serena anything to hit. lol

"I made so many errors, my balls were just flying and there was no wind," Williams said. "There were hardly any rallies. It was hard to get any rhythm because I was making so many errors. I was just spraying balls all over."

Nobody's talked about her so far, but Tatiana Golovin is in the semi-finals and hasn't dropped a set. She took out Chakvetadze in convincing fashion, and showed Bondarenko why she was a 45 ranked player. I think she might just win the tournament.

Ok, I know you're kidding, right? Golovin doesn't have enough game to handle Kuzi or Henin.

Lucky Jankovic made it to semi. Another setup with Justine. Would it be another lose or her 1st win over Justine. She never beat Justine b4 in all their meeting.

Jankovic needs a serve in order to beat Justine. When the match gets tight and you need an easy point, Jelena just can't get one like Henin can. It may be another tough one, but Henin will win, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were straight sets either.

Jankovic need to improve a lot of her serve especially of her 2nd serve and her net game too. Justine just too perfect. Yes another win for Justine.

Yes, her net game can use a little work, but she is a player who will only come in when forced to anyway, so I think the serve is her priority.

I hate to say I told you so, but Tati has beaten Sveta convincingly.

Well, you earned an "I told you so." Heck, now I'm wondering if she can beat Henin? She'll have to make a believer out of me. I didn't see the match today, so what happened?

Golovin is absolutely crushing the ball right now, great display so far to easily take the 1st 6-2.

They get a choice...the car or the money, which IIRC, is around 98,000.

oh so her prize money will remain the same if she chose the porsche then... btw i heard the car costs much more than 98,000 ....

Heh, I wouldn't know. But again, I think it is either the prize money OR the car...but I'm not certain, so if someone knows for sure...pipe up.

I would take the money...I already have a car!
 
juju with the gorgeous car... * dies of envy *

Heh heh...yeah, I was surprised myself to see it went to three sets, but Tatiana has the potential to play with the best, IMO.

If Golovin good enough, she should win the 2nd set too or maybe she just lack of stamina/power or mentally not strong enough to handle all this.

She played well. I just wish she could have kept up her high level in the last 2 sets. Beating Justine is just a hard battle. Maybe with a little more experience and fitness, Tatiana will get the W.

Maybe or maybe not.

Jelena Jankovic came so close on a few occasions, but she is still 0-9 (or is it 0-10) against Justine.

Jankovic is a great player but she's too nice and does not have the killer instinct. She would always smile and laugh even after losing a tough point. You don't see Henin doing that.

My apologies to Tatiana and her fans. I didn't think she had what it took to play with Justine, but she proved me wrong by winning the first set against Henin, something no one has done for some time.

I thought it was 0-8. But I see what you mean. I just think that Tatiana could improve her bh some and volley better. She's my favorite player on the WTA side, so I have to be hopeful about her chances.

I think Golovin should really be ranked higher, but every time she starts to play well she gets injured. Beating Sharapova last year- sprains her ankle. Wins her first title this year playing sensational tennis- injures herself again. She's only nineteen so I think she can make it into the top 10 for at least a while at some stage in her career.
 
It's funny that she is only 19 because she seems to have been around much longer. But, I like watching her play more than her looks but to each his own. ;) And those two injuries were her ankles, but she has a bright future ahead of her, and I think she will be in the top 10.

Althu Golovin is 19, has she ever in Top 10 before since she in the Tour quite sometimes already. Bright future haha who knows :confused:.
