someone please take away his slam. it's the only reason anyone pretends to care about his bullshit I hate Cash, but he's probably accurate on this one.

Ali, do you really believe Maumau vs Shara was so bad? i thought Amelie did so well to hang in their in face of the pressure from Shara's big serves. I also thought Amelie served and returned very well, and was very good on defense. I guess the problem was that defense was all she could muster. I didn't see the first two sets, or the first three games of the third. But having just watched the end of the match ... it's clear that Maria lost because she played so damned stupidly. If she was smart enough to realize she didn't have to hit the lines with Amelie merely bunting the ball back in, she probably would have beaten her. Amelie was hitting forehand slices off SECOND serves! The only shot she was aggressive at all on in the third set was her first serve. The problem was that when she missed it her second ball was a wounded duck. She absolutely cannot play that way and expect to defeat Henin. Justine will make her hit waaaay more balls (unless she has another tummy ache) and will crush those weak second serves. It's wonderful Amelie got to the final and this is a great chance for her to shut people up, but she won't be able to do it if she starts playing like Coetzer again.

Well no. There was no 5-3 game. I know that, but I knew what he was saying, so I didn't feel like correcting him.
