I hope they're both blow-outs because I won't see them.   |

All-Russian final, I imagine.
However, "props" to Stosur. Cirstea played okay, but Sam was damn solid. She's showing a lot of growth in her game. Kuznetsova better come out fighting or she might get surprised.
Still, I pick the all-Russian final.

From 0-2 to 4-2. Safina is playing really well now while Domi makes too many errors trying to have good depth on her shots.

Too many return errors. Come on Domi, put up a fight.

I missed most of the first set, but I'd say Domi is definitely fighting hard. But the match is boring. How about a short angle once in a while, someone charging the net, more drop shots? Baseline to baseline till someone hits long is blah.

What I do like is that Domi is doing what she can -- she's certainly not paralyzed by fear out there like Wozniak admitted she was; she's hanging tough.

Congrats Safina but pretty poor match. Sadly the next one will be much worse.

It was no blowout, though; Dinara had to fight much harder than that score indicates.
As entertainment goes, though, it was far, far short of Dinara's heavyweight bout with Azscream.
I haven't seen Stosur at all, so I have no idea what to expect in the next match, I just hope Kuz is not too weary and empty after her momentous win yesterday.

The crowd only got animated when Dinara had a little war w/ the umpire about a call. They don't know who to boo in this match yet!

If Safina wins the tournament, the Wooden Spoon will go to Anna C. or Flavia. Nice!

5 breaks in a row ... Flashbacks to that Demented/Suarez RG SF with 10 breaks in a row. Only gonna bother to watch if it gets close, I presume the quality isn't up to much. |
