Martina loses. Bring on Wimbledon. Where are the idiots who were rambling about her "good draw"? Though, the way she's sucking today, she could lose to anybody. She looks tired. lol, dude, she got a good draw. It was not an optimal draw, but it was good. You have to expect to play one of the best players in the QF when you are the 12th seed, ok? Yeah, I get you, but the top half (with Choko, Pee, Queen Masha, et al) was definitely the easier half. But like I said, she would have lost to just about anyone today. Kim deserved the win.

Don't mind that ALG is going for broke today. Although it will result in some horrid errors, possibly on set-points too.

She played the second half of the first set very well, just a few bad points in the tiebreak. If she played like that the entire match, she'd be right with Kim. In the end, there was just nothing left in the tank.

I was out; can someone explain to me why they are showing Brad talking instead of Justine's match?

In the end, there was just nothing left in the tank. She fought so well to make things level in the opening set. After losing the opener despite her mini-comeback in the set, I think she slightly tanked it. I mean, there was only one racuqet chuck!

She would NOT have lost to just about anyone today. No...but if she played like she did in the second set, she probably would have lost to most top 30-ish players.

She would NOT have lost to just about anyone today. I should have been more specific. Anyone left in the draw. Except maybe Dinara or Anna-Lena. Maybe. But, with her seeding she couldn't have played them in the QF without facing one of the other girls earlier so that's moot.

When will Martina NOT have to face these players in the QF though...she's lucky she didn't get one in the 4r. She'll probably have to play them in alot of the slam QF's for a while.

ALG is toast.
Also, one day she will break her wrist while hitting that forehand.

I think kim wins for the same reasons jen fat used to win, martina can beat big hitters who are slow like shit like dacenport, and big hitters who can move but make 1209846 unforced errors, but jen fat and kim, can retrieve, hit hard, and keep the ball inside the court.

I dunno. Martina had JenFat dead-to-rights in their last match. She could still beat her, it seems.

I'm now indifferent about the women's champion, although I would prefer Kutze or Nici.
All that matters now is that Federer beats Nadal in the final.

kolya will lose pitifully in straight sets to fed, david will make it close, and if he has the chance to win, choke it all away.
I dont know what I prefer
I am also kinda wanting fed to beat nadal

Ancic not doing badly at all. The women's side has become boring. I'll root for Nicole, Kim, and Sveta. That's it.
