I think maybe they hired the RG stat crew this year? Or are all these errors just Women's Tennis.

I wasn't going to rag on Dinara. At least she's playing better, and not crying to her box after every point again.
But what the hell was that DF on SP? Massive, ugly choke. She just stopped swinging! God, just go away Women's Tennis.

Blanche Dubois is acquiting herself better than I expected her to. Losing, of course, but not as badly as I would've predicted.

Barrois up a break. Go. I like her game.
Demented having a bleh day vs. Oodaa. Could be upset alert, even though she won the first.

Melanie Mania will be running wild if Oudin comes from behind to upset Dementieva!  It's sad seeing Safina struggle so much and being so unhappy playing tennis.  |

Unless ESPN is showing Kendrick - Haas, I don't think I want to turn on the tv. I don't want Demented or Dinara to lose and it's excruciating to watch them on their bad days.

Okay, Dinara through, and ED loses the set. Blanche still hanging in there in set 3 but probably about to fall apart.

Oudin is a hold up against Dementieva. Thats like being a break up, but for women. Yeah. I just noticed there've been 10 breaks so far in the Sorana-Blanche match. |

Can Oudin seal the deal on Dementieva that is the question?
Atleast Safina won even though her game is a mess.

Could ESPN cheer for Oudin anymore. Geez. She's an impressive player, though. And Demented is playing safe, so she'll probably lose. Ugh.

It sucks that Safina is still in this tournament, and Demented plays 10x better but loses because she drew a confident USian.
And we do not need to see Safina in the final.
