Wow, they started showing it at work, and I wigged the hell out while it was on. I scared an entire freshman orientation tour ;D Great win, Nastya She's due for a loss against Dementieva, though

Myskina/Dementieva. Yeah, that match won't be a hideous error-filled mess.

It was only a hideous error filled mess until the end of the second set. Although, Myskina did have 50+ UEs. Some of it was quite good, though.

Burley, what is your prognosis for the Mauresmo tilt?

Burley, what is your prognosis for the Mauresmo tilt? The head-to-head suggests Mauresmo. By a lot. Then again, it is getting to be choking time for her, but I like to think she'll be able to pull this one off. ~Burley

I think I just heard the PatMac describe Myskina as "very tough mentally".
Amelie is choking!

Myskina was down a set and 2-4, breakpoints against her, saved them, and just won four straight points to break Amelie to 15. Maybe she is mentally tough ...

Oh, I should note that two of those points came on Mauresmo doubles.

"I felt that Venus was not going to be on top of her game today. It's really tough to play after winning a Grand Slam because, emotionally, it's really hard to play two weeks in a row and play your best tennis. I kind of knew that I could take the advantage in the match and I did."

Wed, July 20, 2005 Can't block topless photos Judge rules against tennis star Myskina By AP
NEW YORK -- One-time French Open champion Anastasia Myskina can't stop a photographer from distributing topless pictures taken of her during a 2002 magazine photo session, a federal judge ruled yesterday.
Myskina was 20 years old when the photographs were taken by Mark Seliger, according to a written decision by U.S. District Judge Michael Mukasey in Manhattan.
Mukasey wrote that the Russian star's rights were not violated when topless photographs were published with an article weeks after she won the French Open in 2004, despite her insistence that she did not understand a photo release form with her signature on it and was not fluent in English at the time.
"Absent allegations of fraud, duress or some other wrongdoing, Myskina's claimed misunderstanding of the release's terms does not excuse her from being bound on the contract," the judge wrote.
Myskina's lawyer Alexander Berkovich said yesterday he didn't know if he would appeal.
"Obviously, we're disappointed with the decision," he said.
The topless photos were taken after Seliger photographed Myskina for the cover and interior of the Gentleman's Quarterly "Sports" issue in 2002 as part of a pictorial and profile of female tennis players.
Myskina said in court papers that the photographer had asked if he could take the pictures "for himself" and she said he could, as long as they were not published.
The lawsuit sought $8 million US in damages from Seliger, GQ and its corporate parent, Conde Nast. A message left for a lawyer for the publications and the photographer was not immediately returned yesterday.
