Razzano defeats Sugiyama 6-4 6-7 [3] 7-5

Ai had match points at 5-2 and 5-3!! The slump continues.... he unforced errors in the end were esculating and no longer in proportion to her winners. :(

Ai :mad: :fiery: :sad: :( :rolleyes:

As per usual, she chokes away sizeable leads :help:

poor Ai...still second best Japanese player after K. Date

She better pick it up by Wimbledon, she has quarter final points to defend. It's a shame, I really enjoy her game and this would have been a great match to win.

Ai, Ai, Ai.... :sad:

Razzano seems to be having a decent week...

What a choke by Ai!!!! :o

Razzano has come out of nowhere to have a great week!!!... I wonder if it will continue

Ai :( - i bet vcash on you.

Well done to Virginie - a QF appearance! :eek:

every year Razzano has one freaky tournament like this that keeps her in the Top 100, then she spends the rest of the year losing to every opponent in sight.

i feel sorry for ai but i'm also really happy for virginie. she can beat zvonareva

Virginie :worship:

It wouldn't suprise me if it did... Zvonereva is beatable and clearly Virginie is very competitive... she never gave up against Ai.

i feel sorry for ai but i'm also really happy for virginie. she can beat zvonareva


please please no...

I think Razzano can beat Zvonareva as well... Tough conditions & the possibility of a rain delay might hurt Vera.

virginie :yeah:

but i do think Bepa can beat them, bepa seems struggling but she can do it!

i think Vera will be all right, she played with a lot of courage against Peng, hopefully she is turning the corner emotionally.

What a chooke...Razzano should not even be near the QF...

I am soo frustrated with AI!!!!! What a dumbass collapse....and to Razzano no less...

:bounce: Well done,Virginie!!!!! Here's hoping for another upset in the next match.ALLEZ!!!!

Razzano :eek:
She's playing very well this week

Virginie has had some surprisingly good results lately

Another good win for Razzano. Zvonareva should end her run though.

Insanely disappointing. :( Come on, Ai, you have more than enough ability to close out these matches. But keep working hard, I'm sure the results will improve. :)

Hopefully Razzano can't pull out another win over a slumping favorite of mine. It's bad enough she beat Ai (not to mention Alicia), but if she further destroys Vera's fragile confidence... Grrr.
