FSG's grunt. I'm rooting for the double bagel! Me too. Lucie is dead to me after such a pathetic performance.

FSG's grunt. I'm rooting for the double bagel! Me too. Lucie is dead to me after such a pathetic performance. If bashing the ball out of the court and in the net hasn't worked for a set and a half, it's not going to work now. Why not try something different? Anything?

Why not try something different? Anything? That's what decided it for me. Weird things happen, opponent's game can throw you off, but freaking 9 games? With Niculescu's harmless serve? Which Safarova returned into the doubles alley just right now.

Aww, poor Virginie. So what does Irina do when she loses? Stomp on her flag? Remember young Petrova ripping a crucifix off her necklace and heaving it to the ground when she was losing once? I liked her for years just because of that. That's awesome! "God, it's over between you and I! This tears it!"

I remember reading about Spirlea's issues with the teenyboppers hogging the show courts that year over top tenners, and the journalist wrote that her win over Kournikova that year was "seemingly fuelled purely by spite"

She went the wrong way with the forehand on mp against Venus. If she'd gone down the line it would be her losing that final to Hingis.
