Apparently she's become a decent journeyman-level player, or so say some, at least. Too bad I missed my chance to see her in Allentown in her hidden world days. I hope Akgul can reach a 2nd week sometime. If Gaston Gaudio can win a Slam, Akgul can reach a 2nd week, I say. John McEnroe said today that shortly after winning RG, GG told him "I'm the worst player ever to win a Slam."  So sometimes, especially if your opponent happens to choke like a dog, you can win even when you don't Believe!  |

Jeepers has wallowed away in the Hidden World forever. She's not suddenly improved at 26. Her draw was a joke. But, I suppose it's nice to see a grindin' bumpkinette get a break.

Clearly roids.
Funny: Scheepers has been undefeated since a loss to...Amanmuradova.

I am watching a soft porn cable movie, I want to see how it ends actually, will the guy keep the dominatrix or his boring wife? I will have only two hour of sleep between the movie and TENNIS  |

The ending made no sense
The guy discovers that his wife was not as boring as he thought when she invites her neighbours to a party, and the party was a swinger party that she had set up.
After sex he confesses to the female neighbour that he has a lover (the dominatrix)
Later he tells the dominatrix he has to stop seeing her, she gets mad and tells him she is tired of being a dominatrix fulfilling other's fantasies, that she wants to be a housewife, he tells her he will see her no more
She phones his wife, they meet, and make a deal, his wife when he is asleep and wearing dominatrix clothes ties him to the bed and tells him that she will leave him because he cheated her
Then the dominatrix enters the room, wearing "wife clothes", and tells him from now one she will be his wife
In the last scene we have the neighbours and the new official couple dude - former dominatrix about to have a swinger party, and the former wife now dominatrix slashing her whip from the stairs
Now I can sleep 3 hours and a half till Cilic Sod
today men matches look great but the wta matches are not Bery attractive, only Petrova Penis

LOL.
Anyway. Ian Eagle pronounces Scheepers as "skeppers," like skiing peppers.

UEs in this set, 5 to Justine, 1 to Maria. That ratio keeps up = bagel.

Began watching at 1-4 to Schiavone. Kirilenko playing gutsy, going for her FH, the crowd is into it bigtime. 4-4, yes! I want a 3rd set with lots of choking and drama. |

And another! Schiavone is playing a bit too passive, granted, but this is still solid gold.

Justine finally realising at 0-2, 0-40 that she needed to make something happen herself. Great hold, some great points. Sharapova's playing really well too. Much better than last night.

Nice FIGHTER game from Justine, saving 4 BPs.
I don't know if I'd be able to tolerate both Mashas winning today without going berserk at the liquor store.

I wonder if Schiavone knows just how close she would be to making the Top Ten, should she win this match. I certainly hope no one in her camp has told her this.

Superb aggressive returns from Justine. She's woken up now. Now, serving again...

God, I love Schiavone. If she really moves from #17 to #9 after this week, she will piss her pants when she looks at the rankings.

Yep, Maria can't keep the ball in the court anymore. Lucky for Justine.

Jeez. *4-2 40-15 up and then stupidity from Justine, ending with a DF on BP.

Yep, Maria can't keep the ball in the court anymore. Lucky for Justine. The minute I say this, Justine hits 2 moronic UEs and a DF on break point, with one big return winner from Maria interspersed within, to go from 40-15 for 5-2 to back to on serve. JUST LOSE ALREADY. |

YES, Justine broke again, mostly with superb defence. Serving for the match now...

That was torture.
I come away from that match more impressed with Maria than with Justine. She was hitting the bejeezus out of the ball, much like her salad days of '03-'04. Had she kept the ball in play on big points, this would have been a very different story.

Also, no sign of service woes.
But Justine had an answer to Sharapova's best play - that 4-3* game when Sharapova was smacking the ball around the court, but Justine won with her defence - whereas when Justine focused and cut out her own errors (or more specifically, was aggressive early enough in a point to stop Sharapova dominating, and could also put the point away), it looked pretty easy during those stretches.
That first serve percentage is ruinous for my nerves, though.

Good, it's over. The way it sounds, I'm glad I didn't watch this part either. I couldn't understand from the start why JH was the "favorite" to win this title, with only ONE, INDOOR clay tournament under her belt, and with those serving woes.
Anyway at least she gets past the 3rd round, and no more whooping Maria to try to bear.

She's still the favourite for me, with the Silliams match obviously key. She had this kind of tortuous match regularly even in her prime, and Sharapova was a worthy opponent.

It's probably worth watching if you can, Janie! Hugely inconsistent set in terms of quality, but some top-notch points. Especially going from *0-2 0-40 to *4-2 40-15.

What a great point.
