New strategy ??

Lose 1st set, then crush her.
Mauresmo - Safina 2-6,6-1,6-0
Sharapova - Waters 4-6,6-0,6-3
Petrova - Ferguson 4-6,6-0,6-1
Maybe Mauresmo, Sharapova and Petrova had a bet :lol: or were asked by the AO officials to spice up their meetings :dance: (the crowd seemed to love it :bigclap: , I dunno about the fans :unsure: )

I hope Nastya was not involved in that bet :rolleyes:

As far as Mauresmo match is concerned, he second set was far from a crushing . Just look at its duration.
Sometimes a 6-1 is more a fight than a routine 6-4 where the top player just choose the right moment get that one break needed.
If you read many comments done by journalists you often realize that most of them are based only on the figures of the score...
