Time to cancel the women's tournament.

If you can't beat Kirilenko with an Olympic medal on the line, I'm gonna have to drop your ass.
Good, no faves again. Much better.

Just realized: Serena, Azza, Crapalenko, Masha/Kimmy: no reason for me to waste a day off tomorrow to watch the semis...or even watch the medal rounds over the weekend

Poor Kvitova. I hope she didn't actually believe her own hype.
Apart from Agatha's loss on Sunday, not a single minute of women's tennis has been shown on any TV channel available in Portugal so far.

Kvitova may be the most overranked player ever. No wins over top 10s this year. Horrible losses in 3 of 4 Tier Is. And she'll still make YEC because she had the easiest slam + Olympic draws possible.

Kinda of like the old days, when Steffi/Monica/Arantxa won everything and you had people like Huber at solid #6 forever.

Good grief. Serena-Azza rematch and a Sharapova-Kirilenko ALL-RUSSIAN SEMI.
Let`s just make Serena #1 again.

I agree, it removes the obligation I felt to My Sport. I can watch the fencing and the rowing and the equestrian, like I actually want to.

Wow, it really is going to be Serena-Maria, like everyone hoped for. YAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Serena d Caro - hideous but a Caro beatdown is still welcome so I'll take it. Azza d Kerber - UGH. I hope Serena destroys her in the SF. Kirilenko d Kvitova - WTF. I love Kirilenko and will root for her in the bronze medal match BUT she couldn't do this against Radwanska at Wimbledon instead?! Kvitova can fuck off. Sharapova d Clijsters - The one good result today and with Kvitova gone, she's my hope for the gold which isn't happening. The big question in this draw is now whether Serena will double bagel Maria in the final or allow her a couple of games.

I just thought of the silver lining - one of these intolerable women gets the Turd Medal, hopefully in heartbreaking, career-killing fashion

Yes, like that Two Olympics running, the Heartbreaking Turd medal has gone to one of my faves. Time for a change!

No because Serena is No.0.

I like this Ivo Williams. Not enough to watch more than a game of these matches, but whatever.

Glad Azza got raped. Remember the last time a #1 was so thoroughly outclassed at Wimbledon? Venus d. Safina 6-1, 6-0.

Azza has a job to do in the consolation match. No Myskining please.

Evil Justine. Oh how I love those Olympics for that result. Myskina could be my most hated player ever. Those Olympics were a total disappointment in the awesome upsets department. If Serena won't do her job in the final, I'll never forgive her.

I wanted Kvitova to be in the final, but since she's played I'm totally behind Maria. Ofcourse, it'll take a miracle for her to win more than a handful of games, let alone gold but one can dream.

Maria SHARAPOVA (FLA) won't win. She is a clay-court specialist.

Post by Traveling Man on Aug 3, 2012 14:56:39 GMT -5
Ofcourse she won't. All one can hope for at this point is better than 6-1, 6-2 or 6-0, 6-3.

That's a low enough bar for you to be confident.
