Schnyder 1-6 6-3 *1-4 15-30

Russian commentator is saying few bad words about crowd saying that the crowd is quite pro-Schnyder, that linesmen make a mistake after mistake into patty's favor, so that the umpire has to overrule time after time ..

Schnyder 1-6 6-3 *1-4 30-30

Schnyder 1-6 6-3 *1-4 30-40 BP #1

DF #3

Sometimes Maria's movements can look so awkward its really funny. Dont think she will go down in history as one of the great movers in the game. But if you win who cares about movement.

Maria Im so proud of you!!!! :bounce: could have really won in the second but oh well...still a win!!! please go on winning!!

yyeeessss!!

...really awful having to to follow the match via live scoreboard.

Bad luck Patty :hug:

If Pierce can beat Kimmy, then Nadia can also do the same to Lindsay.... anyone agree ? ;)

great fight, patty :yeah:
congrats Maria ! :p

Good win, Masha! 35 winners!:bounce:

Good fight from Patty as well!

If Pierce can beat Kimmy, then Nadia can also do the same to Lindsay.... anyone agree ? ;)

Mary is in a different class to Nadia

gam im elech begai tzel mavet, lo era ki ata emadi.
baruch ata adoni elokeno melach ha'olam, she kiddeshano bemitzvotav venatan ototav ve haya ose nisim rabim.
God be with you Nadia, amen.

It is a very slow Hard Court which Definitly does not favor Lindsay But I think she can pull a win here.....if she was playing one of the better movers like Myskina or Kim or maybe Even Mauresmo then I dont know....this court favors the good movers and the hard hitters that is why Kim's done so well in the past....

Two easy errors at the net give Lindsay an early break..1:0..

The US TV satellite is broken.. Russian TV gets signal from an alternate source now..

OMG I hope Nadia gives us a good match at least!...this is gonna be boring...I dont like either player and now I'm gonna have to watch Lindsay thrashing Nadia...please fight Nadia! You can do it...:)

The US TV satellite is broken.. Russian TV gets signal from an alternate source now..

wow why couldnt they have gotten signal from a different source a while ago?! :lol: wow is a bagel possible??

The two earlier matches were good I watched them....

someone please post direct link? :)

yey!!! live feed back up. Thanx You Russian TV. At least you value tennis.

Lindsay 4-0

Davenport 4 : O :bounce:

oh wow Nadia dont be the weaker link.....

Can someone provide semi-live scred? I switched to my iBook which doesn't have Real Player. :(

Lindsay :hearts:

Nadia finally wins a game :lol:

Seems like it's way past Lindsay's bedtime and she wants to go to bed soon on a win.

Russian TV switches to showing taped Mary-Kim match.. No signal from US..

Lindsay 5-1

Keep going, Linds! :banana:

:yawn: I stayed up for this?

Russian TV switches to showing taped Mary-Kim match.. No signal from US..
how is that possible? I'm supposedly watching tennis on the same feed. :lol:

Lindsay 5-2

Serve it out now, Linds!

how is that possible? I'm supposedly watching tennis on the same feed. :lol:

It's on and off.. Now it is on..:)

Lindsay 6-2

Lindsay 6-2

Was the 9 dollars worth this match? ;)

Keep doing your thing, Linds! :D

Anyone watching this game?

BTW, Petrova up 2-1 in second set.

Pet 2: 1

lets go nadia :bounce:

I am just wondering how bad Petrova is looking in the second set (or how good Davenport is looking). I see the score, but that doesn't really say much.

Go Nadia!!!

It;s just yr first ever match on YEC

Very boring match..

Lost signal again..

Nadia barely holds her serve, after two deuces. She's up 3-2 second set.

Score is 2-2

Was the 9 dollars worth this match? ;)

To watch Lindsay crush an opponent. Yes it's worth it. I get to sit on my ass and watch Live tennis without those annoying seats in the stadium where you can never really relax. Plus I don't want a 3-setter at 2 in the morning.

Even on of my favs is playing (Nadia) it's more boring match than Kim-Mary and Patty-Masha

Now tied 3-3. According to the points scored, Lyndsay is holding her serve easy while Nadia is barely winning her serves.

3-3

Petrova still abale to hold

Break her now, Nadia

Nadia 4-3*

4-3 Nadia 2nd set

go Nadia win!

I tried to stay up Lindsay, but you miss many bp's. Good luck.

Please win :yawn: :zzz: :zzz:

go nadia...make it go to a 3rd set!
cmon! :bounce:

The way this is going, it's headed for a TB ... unless Lyndsay breaks on game #9 of second set.

4-4

Even on of my favs is playing (Nadia) it's more boring match than Kim-Mary and Patty-Masha

The boredom is magnified by absolutely dead crowd..

Break for ste Nadia

To watch Lindsay crush an opponent. Yes it's worth it. I get to sit on my ass and watch Live tennis without those annoying seats in the stadium where you can never really relax. Plus I don't want a 3-setter at 2 in the morning.

I would! :lol: I wouldn't want to stay up until 2 to see Lindsay's spank Nadia's ass.

But Nadia hangs on to win serve. She's up 5-4.

The boredom is magnified by absolutely dead crowd..

Seems full hall of meduzas , and it's only one USA player between 8 is playing now :rolleyes:

Go Nadia!

Tied 5-5. Almost at the TB.

5-4 Nadia

Take the match already Lindsay :help:

The boredom is magnified by absolutely dead crowd..

Ya I noticed that as well it looked like the crowd knew nothing about tennis, not a tennis crowd at all....

Come on Lindsay. Put her away :)

Ya I noticed that as well it looked like the crowd knew nothing about tennis, not a tennis crowd at all....

LA is full of soulless, dispassionate people. Worst place for the tourney. :sad:

Is that people's image of LA? :(


(I live 80 miles east of LA, but it's still almost a suburb of LA).

it's crazy to think that this event used to be held in madison square garden. the staples center sucks by comparison...

still, let's hope it gets better as it goes on.

nADIA 2-6 6-5 30-30*

Its not the center it is the crowd....they dont know anything about tennis, they were echoing the Grunt of Maria Earlier which is irritating and unprofessional by any standards regardless of how we all hate her grunts....

Davenport 6-2 6-6 TB 3-1*

Davenport 6-2 6-6 TB *2-0

wow!

i still think it has to do with the center though. msg is so warm and intimate, yet big, and always the matches there had energy. it was a new york event.

Uh, I was late lol.

Congrats Lindsay :yeah:

Just got back from the matches tonight and reading all the posts here, a few comments:

* you guys didn't see this in the video feed otherwise you would have talked about it but Amelie and Elena were in the crowd watching the matches, they sat a few rows in front of me. First was Amelie with prolly her coach for the Kim v Mary match. Left half way thru match. Then I saw Elena and her mom/coach come and sit around same area, also watching Kim v Mary match :worship: . Then Amelie came back and sat 2 seats away from Elena, lol. Close quarters since they just played a tough 3-set match a few days ago. Saw Natalie Dechy walking by these rows around this time too. I asked for her autograph and asked if she was here to support her fellow French players and she said no, lol. Elena stayed thru most of Maria v Patty match then went to locker room. I believe Elena's mom stayed to the middle of the Lindsey v Nadia match.

* Mary was on fire the 1st set, not that Kim played a great match, but it also reminded me of her play in San Diego where Ai Sugiyama had no chance with her shots. Crowd was evenly pro Kim and pro Mary, like here in the boards, lol :p .

* Unfortunately this event doesn't draw very well, even last year when Serena was playing. By the time Lindsey's match came on, there was only like 20% of the crowd left, which wasn't a huge number to start with :( . I felt bad for Nadia, not playing her best game and in front of a heavily pro-Lindsey crowd. This match didn't even start till almost 1030pm, a time which most people thought all 3 matches would be over and they'd be heading home considering the 6pm start time.

* It's lame that ESPN2 didn't carry the first match of Kim v Mary which was a great match. They won't carry the first match tomorrow night too, Mary v Elena which should be as drama filled as the last few times they've played. Considering this is the top 8 players, ALL matches are potentially fantastic matches, not like round 1 or 2 in a regular tourny

i wish venus was in this tourny...it would have certainly spiced things up a bit

Interesting....thanks for the report...:) Very funny that Amelie and Lena sat just a few seats away from each other. I guess players are used to it. Why didn't you ask for their autograph or maybe tried to talk to them? And Why did Lena go to the locker room? To congratulate Maria? :lol:...And what were Amelie's and Elena's reactions while they were watching the matches? They probably tried to get pointers from Mary on how to play Kim. Are you watching tomorrow's matches as well?

I was very very late! but Congratulation to Maria Sharapova! :kiss:

Patty :o
Awful match :help: :fiery:
Bye bye semis :sad:

This was a horrible tournament start, my two favorites Kim and Patty lost :awww:

But I think Kim will win the next two matches, let's hope that it was just the jetlag, like she said :rolleyes:

It would be great if Patty won against Davenport and Petrova, a nice revenge for Zurich and Linz :devil: Well hope dies last...

aaa
