(3)Anastasia Myskina def. Shahar Peer 6-2, 3-6, 6-3

Way to pull it out in the third Nastya:yeah:

Shahar is a tough player.

Great game shahar... :)

Good fight by Anastasia at times - hope she pickes her game up again - I have high hopes for clay!

YEAH well done Nastya:kiss: Now continue:yeah:!!!!!!!!

Natya won the important points in the third set.
Well done.

Shahar :( better luck next time I guess :)

Shahar :sad: you almost won it ;)
Next time...

Myskina won by fighting. I thought Peer would out-Myskina Myskina but she made it very entertaining. Peer will beat some big player on clay. She just has to get a little better serve.

Good Clay Start Nastya!!!

:retard:

You can accuse Nastya of many things, but being boring isn't one of them.

myskina had an amazing first set.
she'd beat anyone on tour - the winners were rushing like mad, the serve was great.
that's GS material.
then again, the nexst two were kinda lame for a top10er.
i hope she get's her form back, nice game from shahar!

Good fight Nastya :yeah:
Peer impressive

Hey Nastya, hope you slept well during the second set;)

No, seriously...she won, first clay match of the year and damn, I´d really like to see that Peer-girl playing, must have had a great game in that match. I envy all the posters here who get to watch more tennis than just semifinals and finals;)

Nastya when she's hot can beat anyone
when she's not can lose to anyone :help:

thats always how she's been and will be

Nastya main thing done. :)

Nastya! :D

Good Luck in the next round!

A very unsettling win from Anastasia. I'm glad she won but I thought she would crush Peer. I hope she can take care of business against Asagoe.

Go Nastya! I wish she would just win in straight sets though...too much emotion
Welcome to the club

LOL @ this Myskina quote:
"I played very well in the first set, but then I got a little bit bored because I was serving well and everything was going well. But then I found myself down 4-0 in the first five minutes of the second set and it was just hard to come back."

LOL @ this Myskina quote:
"I played very well in the first set, but then I got a little bit bored because I was serving well and everything was going well. But then I found myself down 4-0 in the first five minutes of the second set and it was just hard to come back."

Oh...she didn´t say that, did she? :lol: :worship:

Well, I guess then I have to thank her for torturing her fans, just because she got "bored".

You can find that quote on the Wtatour site in the review of today's matches.

Wait, I found another version, which is even funnier:

"I played really well that first set, but then I got a little bored," Myskina said. "I was thinking, when is this match going to finish, and the next thing I knew I was down 4-love. When you're down 4-love it's hard to come back."

Does she know that she has to win two sets in order to win? Oh and if I were Peer, I would be pretty mad about this comment :lol:

Well done Nastya! :yeah: Now get a more convincing win next time ;)

Damn, I lost v-cash on this. :(

Nastya has Tennis Narcolepsy. :p

Nastya has Tennis Narcolepsy. :p
:lol: That's funny.

Nastya has Tennis Narcolepsy. :p

Ok, I am not fluent in english and in medicine...so I had to look it up:

Def.:
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally (what do you expect from a vampire?). At various times throughout the day, people with narcolepsy experience fleeting urges to sleep (practically during all matches). If the urge becomes overwhelming (esp. when getting overwhelmed by your own remarkable talent), individuals will fall asleep for periods lasting from a few seconds to several minutes ("the next thing I knew I was down 4-love") . In rare cases, some people may remain asleep for an hour or longer (longer, Def.: three full months!).

I didn´t mean to make fun about this illness, but in Nastya´s case, it damn is funny :lol::

Nice Job Shahar, soon it will be routine to challenge and beat players like this!

Nice fighting Nastya. :yeah:

:lol:

Does excusing a dropped set coz of boredom equal arrogance? Where are the great minds when you need them!:devil:

Damn, vcash lost on this one.

The arrogance in the women's game comes mostly from Sarina and Shaparova. Miskena is that way only when she's playing lower ranked players.

Nastya has Tennis Narcolepsy. :p
:haha:

But well done Nastya :yeah:

Myskina :bounce: :)

Myskina, you silly girl. Getting bored on the court!

when you think about it this year she has been playing like that. Bored. hahaha. its ok but im worried abou her shoulder.

from myskina about her shoulder

``It's bothered me for a couple years now,'' she said. ``I don't want to have surgery on it. I've had one and that's enough for me. I'll get use to playing with the pain, I'll be fine with it.''

:lol: @ Nastya
She said something similar after the match with Sveta in RG, and she won the whole thing ;)
What's with these boring tourneys anyway? :haha:

peer has potential to be a good player, definitely expect her to win some matches, needs to develop the serve which will come in a few years.

Did Peer really served at 149 MPH or it is just a mistake in match statistic?

I think it was meant to read 14.9 mph

ugly scoreline in second set Nastya :o :tape:

Shahar is impressive.

Pheeew... Anastasia :D :angel: :bounce:

Shahar :crying2: :(:(

Bravo Nastya!!

(please refrain from telling us about your boredom during matches!! :fiery: :ras: :tape: :lol: )

LOL @ this Myskina quote:
"I played very well in the first set, but then I got a little bit bored because I was serving well and everything was going well. But then I found myself down 4-0 in the first five minutes of the second set and it was just hard to come back."

:rolleyes:

It looks like once a player reach top 5 she (is player refering to she as well as he?) thinks that she can say whatever she wants :rolleyes:

I think it was meant to read 14.9 mph

:lol: And that's the 1st serve. :wavey:

Have to say loved myskinas comment of

'After the second ste i got bored and though when is this going to end':rolleyes:

Very classy and good attituide by a profesional tennis player.
