Karatencheva in the SFs?   Petrova pretty superiour in her match. |

I hope not.
Lena has experience and some junk shots to upset Sesil. But then again, this tournament has been crazy, so we can expect the unexpected.

At least Justine is playing better today.

I wish Likhovtseva being in the semis was a sign of anything else than that women's tennis blows...

Brinyi, it makes up for her not making a semi at the Aussie in 2000!

As for Justine, it was an impressive effort today. In all likelihood she has ended any hopes of Maria being #1 for the forseeable future. Unless something crazy like a Wimbledon repeat happens. Ha!

That was a much better effort by the Mighty Mouse. Petrova should not be a problem. Theoretically. Too bad you can never rely on Patty. It could have been a great final  |

Petrova whomped Ivanovic and looked good doing it. I realize she sucks, but she could give Justine a run. She did beat her at the US Open, and she has already been this far at this tournament in the past.

Hanescu plays really well. Quite a nice match, Jesus leads *4-1 in the TB.
I hope Hanescu gets at least one set for his effort.
