Ha, I saw that.  Probably a climate thing! Akgul qualified and will play all-time Cult favorite Kirilenko. |

Kumkhum took a set off Kirilenko, but was unable to hold on. How great would that have been!

Bratchikova's got a very unconventional game considering she's a Russian. She uses slice for non-defensive purposes and she tries constructing the points and come to the net.
Unfortunately she misses a lot.

"Bratchikova moves very well for a big woman"
Alright.

Bratchikova has hit more winners in the first 4 games of this match than Cohen had in the entire 2012 season!

Lisicki looks like a taller Mimi Labonque.

I see mass choking was involved from both women in the final set.
