Vaidisova v Safarova

[The Grand Slam]

I don't even think I can vote on this one. Normally I'd be picking Vaidisova in straight sets, but Safarova is playing brilliant tennis... Vaidisova in three tight sets (okay, I can vote ).

Nicole Vaidisova [10] (CZE)
--- R1: Jill Craybas (USA) 6-4, 5-7, 6-1
--- R2: Milagros Sequera (VEN) 6-2, 6-1

Lucie Safarova (CZE)

--- R3: Anastasia Yakimova (BLR) 6-3, RET
--- R4: Amelie Mauresmo [2] (FRA) 6-4, 6-3

As much as I would like to see Safarova win ... I just don't picture it happening. Sure, she surprised everybody on Sunday morning ... but I have to give the match to Vaidisova.

Maybe next year, Lucie. (okay if she wins tomorrow then I shall eat my words).

I have seen Safarova play and I am really amazed by her game. I think we're in for a new upset with Lucie winning 2-1.

 

[Arrows]

Hmmn well Safarova and Berdych had been on a double-winning streak lately, so now that the latter person has been knocked out, this may also affect Safarova's game tomorrow.

Then again, Safarova's 1 match ahead of Berdych anyway ... though her 3rd-round opponent retired ... hmmn.

Nah, I'm still going for Vaidisova.

I see Safarova playing confidently while she beats a nervous Vaidisova in 3 sets.

They are hitting the stuffing out of the ball!

[Baghdatis72]

I voted Safarova 2-1 but she's struggling here against Vaidisova.

 

[Paul1993]

Vaidisova saves two break points and holds for 4all in the second.

 

[Paul1993]

Vaidisova wins 6-1 6-4 to advance to the semi-finals.

Argh... I wanted Safarova to win.

So, the couple Tommas Berdyche and Lucie Safarova won together the round before, and lost together in this round.

Hmmn wonder if either of them are superstitious? :grin: On the serious side, Safarova's shown now that she's a player to be reckoned with in a Grand Slam. She can only go uphill from here.

Vaidisova in straight sets.

I love being right , could vaidisova win the tournament??

I think Lucie Safarova lost because she wore a hat, a necklace and ear-rings. If all tennis players were to refrain from wearing a hat and jewellery on court, then tennis would be a more exciting game to watch and participate in
