FRANNIE :woohoo:

Marion. :( There was a long break in the 2nd set, I hope she's not injured. :(

Congrats Fran, beat Swieta again! Forza! :devil:

Marion was injured with back, I was there and watch the match.

Pff already an injury to start the year :(, I was so sure that I shouldn't have been so confident about her.
Hope she will be fine for the AO.

biggest gs fraud of all time this marion is

Marion. :sad:

wow :eek:

Congrats Frannie

:hug: Marion

marion, hard luck.

re-group for the AO.

saw few of the important games of this from the stands. Very warm sticky conditions, I think fitness could have been a factor in this, Schiavone a very fit woman, Bartoli looked spent by the end, she needs to lose some weight, work on her fitness to reach the very top. Shes a gifted player, great flat returns not allowing Fran much time to respond, but in the end I think it came down to fitness!

:woohoo:


Bartoli :bigwave:

I hope Marion is ok. Then again, she injured her back in Toronto but was in good form at the US open.

Nice win, Fran!

Poor Marion! :hug:
Sooo many top players really seem to be struggling...:(

:woohoo:

I hope Marion is ok. Then again, she injured her back in Toronto but was in good form at the US open.

she's a faker, she makes a cramp seem like a fracture

:haha:

damn marion. :(
went to bed at 6-2 2-2 and things looked so promising.

Oh Mar :sad: :hug:

Rest up, I want you fit and ready for the AO to kick some butt! :drool:

congrats Fran :D
get well soon Marion :hug:

she's a faker, she makes a cramp seem like a fracture
I totally disagree. She is one of the most commited and genuine girls on the tour. Her work ethic is on a par with Henin and Jankovic... Which is more than can be said of your favorite, Serena-rules-no1.
