AARGH.
No Sweta choke - she did look like she was cruising to the win, but at *5-4 in the TB Stosur just came up with three great points.
Earlier in the TB there was a really awesome point with both of them at net, which Sweta won, and I really thought it was over for Stosur at that point.

The match isn't boring any more!

Since when has Samamanmtha been competent with her groundstrokes. If she can maintain close to this level of play, she's a top 10 player. I've always loved her serve. And she's like the only female player with a good kicker.

Since when has Samamanmtha been competent with her groundstrokes. I know. I remember stating years ago that her groundstrokes are 10K level. Too bad she made that awful return at 2-2 BP. Oh well, Safina will win anyway.

Phew. That was almost a disaster.
Okay. A likable winner is guaranteed! Didn't look that way three days ago...

Sweta is not likeable. We still do not forgive her for past transgressions.
And Dinara winning a slam quells some of the Sistahtard bitching.
I'm never happy with women's tennis.

Sweater is exasperating (see: today), but I like her.

Sveta might be likeable, but I don't like her.

I like Sweta's hip-hop personality. But like Leena says, there are too many past transgressions on court to really wholeheartedly support her. I'll be supporting Dinara just to restore some semblance of face to the WTA.

The only thing I care about seeing is Roger losing. Just for lolz. But, there's a .002% chance of that happening with what's left.

I want Dinara to win, just not to win by virtue of another Sveta choke. Sveta needs to put the choking behind her and win another Slam soon -- but take away one from Serena, not this one.

Dinara-Sveta have played a lot. 8-5 Dinara. However, Safina won all four matches in 2008, and has split two this year, so she has the momentum.
In accordance with my prophecy, I think she'll win her first Grand Slam on Saturday. Sveta isn't as good as her right now and she's spent a lot more time on the court.
