No matter how Svetlana will play tomorrow she's out from semifinal spot already. But if she will win tomorrow it means Venus is IN SF, if Svetlana lose it means Venus OUT; Elena IN!
I want Sveta to win to end her misery at YEC, so Venus can make SFs, and so Sveta can end her year on a win and not go 0-3 for the 3rd straight year at YEC.
This has been a great week of matches.
Tomorrow has some good ones.
Aga will be motivated against Vika.
Elena has a lot to play for.
I want to see how well Caro can play.
Only 1 spot in the semis in clinched.
So many close matches, like the USO
Well, Elena is my 2nd fav, behind Venus!
So it is already good that whether Venus or Elena will reach the SF for sure, although,as Sveta is my 3rd fave after Venus and Elena, that group was for me, anyway
But as today, as I cheered fhe first time in my whole life for Serena against Elena, I will also cheer for Svetlana tomorrow for the first time against Elena!
Putting aside this question and poll, I really must point out that Sveta has qualified for every YEC since 2006 and played in 2004 YEC in Los Angeles.
In 2006 Seveta lost two matches and didn't make the semis, in 2007 Sveta lost all three matches and in 2008 Sveta lost all 3 matches. The same thing can happen this year. For good measure in 2004 Sveta lost two matches and didn't make the semis either.
If you are a Sveta fan would you find this acceptable? When is Sveta going to start playing according to her status in the womens game and win tight matches against her rivals in the prestige year end tournament?
I don't want sveta to win because of venus but for herself..has she ever been the no1 player in the world ..the bigger picture is the points she may get tomorrow with a win may the very points that get her to no1 sometime next year. Every player who's won slams wants to have been the no1 at some point, just like slamless players who have been no1 want to win a slam. the money might not be important but at this stage of her career the points definitely are ..with the return of Justine and Kim who knows what could happen next year.
