Giorgi is fun to watch, if you can overlook the many errors. Typical erratic SEWTA ballbasher but she has a cute face so I'm sure the WTA is rooting for her to beat the surly Petrova.

I still have seen just 2-3 games from this tournament. It was the end of Paszek/Cornet match, heh.

Didn't Giorgi beat Petrova in Memphis this year? Memphis International Hard Feb 26 2012 1 Camila Giorgi-Q - Petrova(1) 6-4 6-2

Well Petrova was up 5-2 in this set and now she's tensed all up against this fearless kid.

This is my first watching day, too, aside from about 2 games of Woz-Pas pre-rain. And Giorgi has fought back from 1-5 (did not know that) to 4-5. Why the Russian and French players can't secure their wheels better, I'll never know!

I tuned in at 5-2 and didn't know that. Giorgi is playing lights-out tennis to get to 5-5; it's not just those lost Petrova wheels that have gotten us here. The commentators are beside themselves!

Fed letting people up off the canvas from 0-40 down is pretty much his best trick these days.
I don't think he was aggressive enough on the bps. He was super-aggressive on the 0-30 point but not enough after that. Now I think this will be a close set. That was Roger's chance to break it open early.

I feel the upset now. I just think Roger will get sloppy, drop his serve and be out of the tournament.

GOATmila coming back from down in the TB too.
The crazy GOATmila fans always say she'd be ranked much higher if she had more money and was able to leave the US more to play bigger events. A couple more points, and she can start to prove their theory.

I didn't necessarily mean this game. Rog rolled there. But 4-5 ... 5-6 ... Wow, great backhand winner for Roger to start the 4-4 game. He needs to break here to avoid this set getting reallyy, really tense.

I think the chances of Benneteau winning this set are about 75%. Roger is way, way too sloppy.

There's no reason, if she sustains this level, why Giorgi couldn't be our SFist. She can blast through Aga and she'll try.

A couple more points, and she can start to prove their theory. That doesn't explain why she didn't fare better in the US ones she played! I remember her winning Dothan or some such; I watched her and thought she'd go on winning right and left, but no. She is Sara Erratic!
