AO R3: [23] Svetlana Kuznetsova shows [11] Justine Henin how it's done, 6:4, 7:6.

Fuck yeah!

Lol. Hilarious.

Worst match ever.

Justine is done.

Congrats Sveta but you are not going far with your usual choke.


ps : I think my neighbour woke up because of my screams :tape: screw you justine

Yesyesyeys

Hellz Yeah!

So glad :sobbing::sobbing::sobbing::sobbing::sobbing:

Great regroup there from Sveta. What she did in that TB -- against history and all expectations -- was difficult. So mad props. And joy.

Henin's decision-making was more off than on, as was her execution on high balls. Also: could Carlos please stop coaching her. It's getting a bit pathetic.

A.Fucking.Mess.

But at least Kuzzy won :hearts:

Yeah baby

Homg, Justine! That double fault was :tape:

:worship::bounce::bigclap:

Punch Sveta! :lol:

Sveta choked so bad and won
Justine has completely lost it

Retire, Justine. Kuznetsova, how did you win? HOW?

Yessssss!!!

http://i55.tinypic.com/mizbpl.gif

I knew you could do it Sexlana!!! Win the title!! :bowdown:

That's why tennis is great! Some great points, some awful points.
This was an important match for the top half.
Justine's ranking will fall now

CONGRATS Svetlana.

oh my, juju. :o

:happy::happy::happy::happy::happy:

this much was disgusting at the end, so many errors :help:

amaze sveta, well done :D thankyou for knowcking out Justine :hearts:

Sveta had my heart pumping at the end! Great win for her :hearts:

Embarassing by both. :o I think 5-4 in the second was when it started becoming comedy.

Justine can't play worse, and Svetlana decides to choke.

Svetlana chokes, and Justine shows that she can, in fact, play worse.

That point on Henin's sp and the rally that Sveta won with a BH CC winner was worth sitting through all the 75 errors.

Justine's comeback is begining to resemble Hingis'; that's not a good thing.

If she doesn't have a revival and win the French, I don't think she'll be playing for much longer.

Big credit to Sveta for playing great when set point down.

Fucking shitty mess. LMFAO Justine had no business even getting to 6-6 in the 2nd set :lol::lol:

Shows her how it's done on the 7289573298th time of asking, you mean?

kuzzy started really well....and yea she did choke but she usually wouldn't have recovered especially against jh....:inlove: so proud kuzzy

Yay.

Retire, Justine. Kuznetsova, how did you win? HOW?

If every player actually listened to your dumb advice, the entire WTA would have retired by now. :rolleyes:

:help: Well the end of that 2nd set was disgusting! So much fail! So many chokes! :tape:

I'm really surprised that Kuzy showed some heart at the end. Usually she just completely folds. Hopefully this gives her some confidence.

Worst Match Ever
Justine sucks. Sveta sucks. Tennis sucks still 3-16
Nana will never get a chance to play Justine :rolls

Please dont lose next round Sveta

I am so sad. It is unreal how I believed till the end, only for that I fucking hate Justine.

sweet merciful fuck.
congratulations, Svetlana, but this match hardly constitutes a 'well done'
tennis has been fatally, fatally stabbed today by this match.
i am crying :lol:

Oh yes :drool: Long live Svetlana Kuznetsova :hearts: Although her choking abilities never fail to surprise me :lol:
Henin was pathetic but I don't care much :wavey:

That was fucking TRAGIC.:sobbing:

Justine was so stupid on court today. And her forehand.:tape:

:lol: Yes ugly match at the highest (...) BTW I didn't know Justine led Kuzzie 16-2. :tape:

I don't remember seeing such a bad tie-break between two top players.

It seems to me that Francesca and Caroline will be much tougher opponents that some people here want to give them credit for.

I am soo HAPPY right now. This is ridiculous. The choking, the UE That tie break the set points. I almost broke my computer several times. SVETA :cheer:

Great win for her. She really held it together in the end! Sorry Justine! ;)

now i wanna cry, sveta you make me proud

:woohoo: Sveta!

:embarrassed::disappointed::Kim/Sveta For the win:

SVETAAAAA :speakles: :hysteric: :inlove:

JuJu you suck:(

I only saw the Tie-break..... Was the match really that bad? The tie-break was alright....

I cant believe Justine lost to one of her bitches though.... :help:

Is it weird that I am crying? :/ With happiness.

:rolls: :haha: You go Sveta!!! :rocker2: She just wanted to play mind games with Juju by "choking" while serving at 5-4 and 6-5 :worship: :shrug: It was all part of her master plan :smoke:

Seriously I don't care how ugly the match was-Sveta finally beat Henin again!! :banana: It was good to see Sveta fist pump and cheer herself on for a change instead of getting down on herself when she got tight. She looked so happy in the end too :awww:

The TB was so awful and nerve wrecking. :o
When I saw Carlos indicating Henin to serve wide in the second to last point I kind of wanted Henin to doublefault and lose. :lol:

Punch Sveta! :lol:

Yessssss!!!

http://i55.tinypic.com/mizbpl.gif

Y'all stoopid.

Stoked for Svetlana. I'm not a fan, but it's nice to see her finally get a big win over Justine.

Justin :wavey:

Is Sveta the favorite on this half now? :shrug:

Sveta should play like crap more often against Justine :drool:

Kuzzy save the tournament! :lol:

Oh yes :drool: Long live Svetlana Kuznetsova :hearts: Although the her choking abilities never fail to surprise me :lol:
Henin was pathetic but I don't care much :wavey:

Exactly how I feel :clap2:

Sveta just dedicated her win to Claycourter

Good job staying strong Kuzzie...

Deuces to you Justine! BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Congrats Sveta :clap2:

:lol:

I don't remember seeing such a bad tie-break between two top players.

It seems to me that Francesca and Caroline will be much tougher opponents that some people here want to give them credit for.

Unfortunately, Caroline is playing well. :rolleyes: She's just so annoying!

That was such a fucking hot mess.

Justine, get it together. Please.
Sveta, you better not suck in the next round.

oh my that was all sorts of wrong and ugly. sveta is a choking mess as usual, but henin a choking mess more wtf lol.

women's tennis is just plain ugly right now

:eek:

Now please beat Caroline in the quarters :o

The match was awful but the drama at the end of it made up for it(almost)
Henin needs to re think some things and Kuznetsova choked but Henin wouldn't let her.

Yessssss!!!

http://i55.tinypic.com/mizbpl.gif

^ F*cking this baby!!!! YES!!!! Happiest I've been in a result in a LONG LONG TIME!!! Got the monkey off her back!! YOU GO SVETA!!! Way to step it up in the tiebreak and OUST HENIN!!! :worship::

Justine? :wavey:

Sveta didn't choke, :shock: play like this against the Woz! :hearts:

Henin is so done, and out of top 20. Just get out, bitch.

Sveta just dedicated her win to Claycourter

epic :lol:

:sobbing: OMG I'm still in total shock. Well done Svetaa:inlove: soo happy right now:sobbing:

The good: the fighting, and even when Justine was playing her utmost worst she could still bring Svetlana to a TB.

The bad: everything else

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS:cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer: :cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:

That point on Henin's sp and the rally that Sveta won with a BH CC winner was worth sitting through all the 75 errors.

Disgusting. My heart really exploded at this moment, Justine gave everything she could :sobbing: :sobbing:

If every player actually listened to your dumb advice, the entire WTA would have retired by now. :rolleyes:

Not Serena :rolleyes:

3 double faults in the tie break - THREE what the hell. 100 quid down the drain and Sveta was giving her the set and she just made a pigs ear of it. Ugh so annoyed but Sveta played a great match for the most part apart from when it mattered but it didn't because Justine managed somehow to play even worse.

Justine :sad:
Sveta :)

WD Sveta!! Gurl, take that title!!

I'm feeling sad for Justine. She's lost it mentally!

oh my that was all sorts of wrong and ugly. sveta is a choking mess as usual, but henin a choking mess more wtf lol.

women's tennis is just plain ugly right nowHenin didn't choke. She just sucked.

Sveta just dedicated her win to Claycourter

Can't wait to read his comments about how Justine lost to Mugnetsova :lol:

Sveta just dedicated her win to Claycourter

And justineheninfan.:lol:

Get it Sveta!!!

It was the worst match Justine has ever play...retire please, I won't be able to see again those loses. She can't play, simple.

GO MASHA, win the title!

i want to kill you Sveta :hysteric::help:

:lol: Yes ugly match at the highest (...) BTW I didn't know Justine led Kuzzie 16-2. :tape:

Well that's an indicator of what you do know: NOTHING!

Impressive last few points from Sveta, especially the rally being down 6:7. Got lucky on mp but gutsy serve. Overall her fh was better than Justine's today and her bh held up. Well done! :D

Ju :o Even worse than ever.:tape:
Sveta :cheer: Gonna see you losing next round though.:o :p

Henin is washed up and done
Too bad, coz once she was a great player to watch

YEAAAAAHHHHH Sveta!!!!!
:worship::worship::worship:

Henin made 9 UEs in the TB, Sveta won 1 point. The last few games of the 2nd set were totally pathetic choke and errorfest.

The way Sveta said 'especially the second set' to Barbara Schett :haha: She knows how embarrassing it was :lol:

Lol Justine, you absolute MESS! You were killing me there...didn't even deserve a set though, so I'm not too disappointed. Rest the elbow up Ju, we'll get there eventually :hugs:

Well done Kuz, for a set and half she was very good. We were all just waiting for the choke and sure enough, right on cue lol please keep it up for a few more rounds at least.

Claycourter, where art though? Did Sveta play the match of her life or something?...

Awful match...comparable to Svetas infamous US Open semifinal.

Good luck next round Sveta, I guess the result itself could be good for her confidence.

Terrible Tiebreak :lol: I think Justine had 3 doubles in it:help:

Congrats Sveta:yeah:

I am so sad. It is unreal how I believed till the end, only for that I fucking hate Justine.too bad. it happens. justine can contine to rehab the elbow and then move to the red clay.

:banana:
Ugly match, but I'm glad who came out on top.

I am happy.

Sharapova is washed up and done
Too bad, coz once she was a great player to watch

fixed it for you ;)

I am beginning to lose all hopes on Justine.....

Congratulations to Sveta. Nice try Justine. The French Open is in four months.

And ppl doubted me for not thinking Henin was a favorite at all for this title

Fuck yeah!
Congrats Sveta, :D First win over her nemesis in a Slam.
She obviously has the game to beat Justine, but couldn't get over her head. Today's match is the solid proof. Hope this does wonder for her.

I dunno what's worse - the fact that Justine committed 41 UEs :tape: or the fact that she hit 9 DF in the match alone (IIRC, 5 in first set).

Oh well, get some rest and be ready for FO, Justine.

And Sveta... congrats. But at the rate you're playing, Caro will be smiling.

yes!!! go sexlana!! so happy! :D

I only saw the Tie-break..... Was the match really that bad? The tie-break was alright....

I cant believe Justine lost to one of her bitches though.... :help:

:lol: Yes it was though the quality really picked up a bit in the end of the tie-breaker (...) Justine's FH is just utter shit ! :lol

Amelie said it would be a Kim vs Sveta final. I didn't believe her...

Bye Justine :sad:

LMAO at Serenastans. Y'll tew much.

http://i27.tinypic.com/2r3cht5.gifp

She may have needed--what was it? 4 or 5--several match points, but she did it! The nerves were flowing across the court. Justine was definitely having some problems.

Yessssss!!!

http://i55.tinypic.com/mizbpl.gif

The hell ... for a moment it looked like Stepanek :o

fixed it for you ;)

we'll see about that smarty pants:wavey:

Congratulations Svetlana :)

I am beginning to lose all hopes on Justine.....

She can still win the FO when her elbow is fully healed. There must be a reason why her serve and forehand were hideous.

fixed it for you ;)

No, he is right, Justine is truly done.
She used to pwn Clijsters and Kuznetsova in slams, now she can't win.

What have she achieved since her comeback? Nothing but a final at the AO.
And we all know she got lucky.

Well done Sveta, but what another awful women's match today. :help: :lol:

Claycourter, where art though?

Quick, someone check his house!!!

That point on Henin's sp and the rally that Sveta won with a BH CC winner was worth sitting through all the 75 errors.Justine was just pushing in that point. Which was a good strategy seeing as Sveta was hitting random errors, but it didn't work out that time.

Justine, you idiot :o

She can still win the FO when her elbow is fully healed. There must be a reason why her serve and forehand were hideous.

She hasn't been very good since last year's AO

The TB was so awful and nerve wrecking. :o
When I saw Carlos indicating Henin to serve wide in the second to last point I kind of wanted Henin to doublefault and lose. :lol:

That's how I felt too.

Fuck yeah!

DITTO! GO SVETA!

Yet Ana still can't beat her :( :lol:


Well done Kuzzy, try to make the semis at least! :cheer:

Horrid.

Sveta tried hard not to win this match but henin was just too bad.The t-b :o

I am beginning to lose all hopes on Justine.....

:hug: :awww:

Congrats to Sveta. :hug: @ Justine. hate that they had to play each other this early.

No, he is right, Justine is truly done.

Aww... come on, don't be too harsh to her. Remember 2 things...

1) She just came back from injury.
2) Wimbledon is her primary objective.

Cheer up. ;)

What have she achieved since her comeback? Nothing but a final at the AO.


She's still top 20 player. Serena won a grand slam while she wasn't even ranked in the top 50.
There is hope for Justine.

Yet Ana still can't beat her :( :lol:

Your guess is as good as mine on that matter. :cool:

She hasn't been very good since last year's AO

She won two tournaments,lost a close match to clijsters in maimi, then lost like a headcase vs Stosur and got injured when beating Clijsters easily. I think she can still play at a high level but maybe she shouldve waited more to be fully recovered. I guess she thought there was too many points to defend and decided to give it a try.

Glad Sveta won it in the end! :)
Such blatant coaching for Henin :o

Aww... come on, don't be too harsh to her. Remember 2 things...

1) She just came back from injury.
2) Wimbledon is her primary objective.

Cheer up. ;)

She won't win Wimbledon. THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

Quick, someone check his house!!!

Suicide warning?

Sad to see Justine lose the match, which was on her racquet from the beginning. Watch Kuznetsova get roasted in the next round. Awful news for the Australian Open.

Amazing

Congrats Sveta :yeah:

Justine :bigcry::sobbing::sad:

She can play at a high level I'm sure, but at the moment, there are no signs she will/can win the French.

ahhhh, here he is!

She won't win Wimbledon. THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

The next one is 5 1/2 months away. We will never know until the day comes :cool:

Sad to see Justine lose the match, which was on her racquet from the beginning. Watch Kuznetsova get roasted in the next round. Awful news for the Australian Open.

How really sad. Justine got beat pretty bad. And not that Sveta was playing very well too. Well, Justine still has many months to play before she retires. She will have her chances.

SOUR GRAPES? very sour...

Awful news for the Australian Open.

NOT!

happy for Sveta to get a win over JuJu, finally.

Yessss! Well done Kuznetsova.Thank You for beating Justine you almost let it get away,but showed some great toughness. :)

Yukk! at nasty Martina pulling for Justine. :rolleyes:

:hug: :awww:

Congrats to Sveta. :hug: @ Justine. hate that they had to play each other this early.

Thanks you :awww:

Aww... come on, don't be too harsh to her. Remember 2 things...

Cheer up. ;)

1. Her elbow was strapped up, I hope it is nothing... but I fear the worst.... after all, she avoided a surgery but said she might be forced to undergo one in a few years... It would be a shame if she retires again before the Olympics

2. Well, have you seen her crap serve ? Not gonna happen.

She's still top 20 player. Serena won a grand slam while she wasn't even ranked in the top 50.
There is hope for Justine.

She is now out of top 30. And she is not Serena.
I will still support her, of course, I am mad at her because I stayed up only to watch her losing in an errorfest to someone she used to own, but I will be ok ;)

Did anyone notice the hottie in Kuznetsova's box:hearts:

Sad to see Justine lose the match, which was on her racquet from the beginning. Watch Kuznetsova get roasted in the next round. Awful news for the Australian Open.

Well you do think Justine is the greatest of her generation so perhaps your delusion is understandable if you think this is awful news for the Australian Open.

Can't say I like Justine, but I do feel a little sorry for her fans. That would have drove me nuts to watch as a fan.

Can't say I like Justine, but I do feel a little sorry for her fans. That would have drove me nuts to watch as a fan.

I feel so sorry for CLAYCOURTER. He must feel really sad.

Can't say I like Justine, but I do feel a little sorry for her fans. That would have drove me nuts to watch as a fan.

At least, she didn't win that SP and then lost the third :lol: Would have been much worse, to be honest even if I think Justine would have won easily the third set, because Kuznetsova is a mental headcase against Justine lol

I was crazy hahaha, I screamed when Justine came back to the score, when she got broken, when she saved all these mps, when she got that sp, and when she double faulted :lol:

My heart is feeling much better at least. :o

And what two tournaments did she win?
She can play at a high level I'm sure, but at the moment, there are no signs she will/can win the French.

There was a sign Schiavone could win it?:o Henin beat Stosur on clay so that was a good result. I don't think she's that far away from a decent level. She knows how to play on clay unlike 99% of the tour. Like I said maybe she shouldn't have come back early.

Thanks for sending :bigwave: packing, Sveta!!! :haha::bowdown:

Well you do think Justine is the greatest of her generation so perhaps your delusion is understandable if you think this is awful news for the Australian Open.

Justine is not the greatest - but she is in the top 3, behind Serena and Venus.

1. Her elbow was strapped up, I hope it is nothing... but I fear the worst.... after all, she avoided a surgery but said she might be forced to undergo one in a few years... It would be a shame if she retires again before the Olympics

2. Well, have you seen her crap serve ? Not gonna happen.

1) That's what I suspected too - her elbow is creating error after error. I mean, 41 UEs in the match alone? When was the last time she did that many? :scratch:

But most likely she will stay until Olympics is over - remember she wanted to play doubles with Kim during the event?

2) Noted - but if she work that serve out in the next few months.... ;)

:lol: Thanks for the laugh.

Thank God.

Disgusting. My heart really exploded at this moment, Justine gave everything she could :sobbing: :sobbing:

Atleast she didnt get routined by a player like Wozniacki. Saved face there by losing early.

You can say that again. :kiss:

SO - it was an INJURY. That's a good reason.

Did anyone notice the hottie in Kuznetsova's box:hearts:

Her new coach? :drool:

Well Justine was determined in that tiebreak to drag Sveta over the finishing line whether she liked it or not..think even she was sick of Sveta's choking by that stage:p
Anyway, congrats to her:) I guess the choking is excusable considering the head-to-head.
I just hope the top half of the draw doesn't lose 14 slam calibre before the night is over:scared:

:bigwave: bye bye Henin!
:bigclap: Sveta!

fuck

:bigwave: bye bye Henin!
:bigclap: Sveta!

Congrats Sveta. She handled the bigger points better than Henin did.
Then again, Sveta's last Grand Slam was more recent than Justine's.

:bowdown: Nice job Sveta. Now lose to Caroline or Fran please. ;)

Justine took over No.1 C.W., offically hated most in TF. What the fuck.

see how great Kuzzy is when her mind is there :yeah:

take a look Jankovic, Wozniacki, Ivanovic, Zvonareva .. a real champion.

Her new coach? :drool:

that coach worked with Hantuchova in 2nd part of 2010
http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/5382/50970317.jpg

Atleast she didnt get routined by a player like Wozniacki. Saved face there by losing early.

LOL thanks for the smile you gave me. :p

So happy for Svetlana ... Justine & her cheating coach needed to go!

see how great Kuzzy is when her mind is there :yeah:

take a look Jankovic, Wozniacki, Ivanovic, Zvonareva .. a real champion.

Please stop fooling yourself. Henin's level was lowest in years and Sveta, a two time major champion choked like Novotna while serving for the match twice. Not very 'real champion' like.

So happy for Svetlana ... Justine & her cheating coach needed to go!

Carlos is still cheating? Amazing.

Sveta just dedicated her win to Claycourter

:haha: this just made my year:p

I'm disappointed Caro won't get the chance to play Justine, but congrats to Sveta. This might revive her. She hasn't had many positives in quite a while.

Sooo proud and happy beyond words. I knew you could do it Sveta :inlove:

Please stop fooling yourself. Henin's level was lowest in years and Sveta, a two time major champion choked like Novotna while serving for the match twice. Not very 'real champion' like.please stop crying

:help:

please stop crying

:lol: I like Sveta and I can be called a henin hater so no I'm not crying, just telling the truth.

Justine wasnt gonna go far with whatever the hell she was doing on court anyway. Still I rather see her losing to a multi slam champ than somebody like Wozkniaci.

How really sad. Justine got beat pretty bad. And not that Sveta was playing very well too. Well, Justine still has many months to play before she retires. She will have her chances.

Don't worry, your "injured" Venus will soon be shown the door pretty soon :awww: And lol @ Kuznetsova playing "pretty well", she is gonna exit in the next round.

Had a feeling Justine Henin might was going loss I think she might be rank 31-32 now she get into the top 10 by the end of the year fosure After WIMBLEDON there no point to defend it all gain so she be alright just get it together Justine and tear Clay Season Up

Don't worry, your "injured" Venus will soon be shown the door pretty soon :awww: And lol @ Kuznetsova playing "pretty well", she is gonna exit in the next round.

I think even Venus is resigned to the fact that she will lose the next match considering the injury. Reports have stated she hasn't played any tennis at all since her 2nd round match.

Anyway, I actually wanted Henin to beat Sveta. Sorry for your loss. :aww: At least Venus will have an awesome chance at Wimbledon however, the odds of Justine even doing well at the FO again are very slim considering she will be well outside of the Top 10 seeds unless she wins everything she enters from here on out.

:lol: at the title by the way. Shows how what's done? Choking?

:lol: at the title by the way. Shows how what's done? Choking?

I guess not by looking at the result!

Don't worry, your "injured" Venus will soon be shown the door pretty soon :awww: And lol @ Kuznetsova playing "pretty well", she is gonna exit in the next round.
Poor thing still feeling bad after JH loss.:wavey:

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f361/shadowstrump/cry.gif

Kuznetsova tried as hard as she could to lose that second set. Luckily she held it together when it mattered, and hopefully she takes a big confidence boost from this. Very good chance to make the Quarters now.

that was abysmal,Justine looked like a club player :weirdo:

Embarrased :o

Juju rank after this mess is going to drop at about #30 or so :tape:

Ju. :sad:

I hope this means that Sveta's in decent enough form to advance to the semi.

so many haters for Henin :awww: i'm so sad she lost, but at least Sveta is a funny player so i can bare this loss

well, feeling a bit sad about Juju, it seems that she did not take advantage of the "gift" from Sveta:sad:. But lets give her some time, she is just coming back from injuries and so many months' time off, may be she is going better soon:angel:

wish I could see the match, but congrats to Sveta for pulling it through :kiss:

:lol: I like Sveta and I can be called a henin hater so no I'm not crying, just telling the truth.

Really? You're actually capable of liking a player? Kinda difficult to believe... In the past 30 posts or so you bashed Sveta, Justine, Maria, Venus, Kim and only has some remotely nice stuff to say about Caroline.

Congrats Sveta :cheer:

[QUOTE=Claycourter;19031328]Don't worry, your "injured" Venus will soon be shown the door pretty soon

Why are you worried about "injured" Venus?:fiery:

Hmmmm....Sveta can be tough, but Juju should've at least made Sveta pay for all the choking by winning the second set. The comeback trail started well, but is becoming a horror show.

I didn't see the match, but if Svetlana played well, good job. And sorry to Justine, you'll have your chance in the coming months.

Claycourter worrying about Vee? :lol: What's going on, Cali?! Juju still went out earlier..:lol:

Not that surprising, justine just wasn´t there in this tournament. I had that feeling from the start. :shrug: Still, a loss to kuznetsova in this way leaves a lot of questions.

Improve justine, goodluck!:awww:

Damn, Justine sucks. She will NEVER EVER WIN ANOTHER SLAM AGAIN!!!!!

I watched from 5-4 in the second set til the end, and that alone was a shitfest :lol: Sveta, congrats on the 'win' :spit:

Embarassing by both. :o I think 5-4 in the second was when it started becoming comedy.

Justine can't play worse, and Svetlana decides to choke.

Svetlana chokes, and Justine shows that she can, in fact, play worse.

Great encapsulation.

Thanks, Sveta. :bounce:

I'm thrilled for this win, if only because we won't have to deal with Claycourter's shit.

Sexlana :dance:

Oh my god the the break. I'm dying watching right now... Never seen so many balls into the net

You were supposed to beat Wozniacki, Justine :weirdo:

Having watched this chokerama from both, eyes displaying fear from closing it out, it is hard to believe that 2 multiple Slam champs have faced it other here.

But Stan Laurel is out. Good.

Glad I didn't stay up to watch this. Justine :sad:

Let's not forget she is still playing with an injured arm. Her path was filled with very physical mathces anyway. Evenif she somehow managed to beat Sveta, she still needed to beat Schiavone, Wozniacki, Petkovic/Li, Clijsters to win the title. She was bound to feel the effects of her injury at some point.

I still think Justine shouldn't have come to Australia in the first place. But the field is currently soo weak that I think she felt even with an injured (playing) arm she had the chance to win it. I don't blame her for that.

Justine, let your playing arm heal fully and come back fully fit in time for Wimbledon.

Sveta :worship:

...
Q. Quite hard work in the end for you. Justine said she sensed the nerves in you. Did you tighten up in the second set?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Yeah, I did. I mean, I was not scared; I was not afraid when I went to the court. But of course I get tight.
I kind of had a perfect match, 6 4, 5 4, serving. Didn't have any breaks. Just had few breakpoints. Serving good.
Then the nerves game. Then started to do a little bit of show time, you know, it's like comedy. Women's drama going on. It's not only women's. It's like every match you see something, when it's tough matches you see something like that, and then you have to fight the nerves to fight against yourself a little bit.
...
Q. Francesca say that you move better this year and you're more quick in a way?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: I didn't run some sprints with her, I don't know why she knows this.
Q. She looks your matches.
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Oh, okay.
...
. And can I ask you something about you and Francesa? You're friends outside of court. She always says nice things about you and you about her.
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: I didn't start to talk about her yet. How did you know?
Q. In the past.
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Maybe I want to do big news. (Laughter.)
...
Q. We're waiting for it?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: No, I'm quiet; I'm nice. With Francesca, we're great. We have great friendship. It's like but we both are athletes, and both know clearly when we go out to the court. We're animals and kind of fighters against each other.
This is pretty clear. It's not going to disturb our friendship. It's going to be nice match. Yeah, I mean, she's a great personality. I have lots of fun with her.
Q. Who's going to bite the other one first?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: I hope I try to bite her first, but this is a fight, another one I'm looking forward to. Never know.


:rolls:

Sveta :woohoo: she beat her demons ;)

Does anyone think Kuzy will actually win this title? I think that those who do are dreaming in Australia land, where the brave go fishing and the alcoholics go sleeping...

Nice win for Sveta.Now, watch wozniacki going to the semis easily.:o

:cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer: Sveta

:bigwave: Justine!!

ALLEZ!!

:lol: But if Juju couldn't even beat Sveta...what makes you guys think she was gonna beat Wozniacki? :shrug:

Sveta :sad: I thought you would win 6-0 6-0. I am disappointed.

awful, henin

Nice win for Sveta.Now, watch wozniacki going to the semis easily.:o

:hearts:

Svetlana :hearts:
Didn´t watch it, but it was a bad match it seems, but who cares :tape:
I just hope that this win gives Sveta some confidence back :D

Hope justine does well at RG.

You can't forget that Henin has only played one tournament besides this in how many months?
She'll be back...and Kuzy, she'll suffer a loss in round one of the french open because she always chokes there. Only once has she played like a normal person.

i thought that kuz really had a chance. but now that she's done it, i'm surprised nevertheless :lol:

good luck against fran.

Justine is so awful these days, sad to see. I don't think she will come back to something close to her best, in fact she is going from bad to worse. And this injury and her low ranking now won't help the matters.

Surprised and then again.... not?

Justin :o Now Wozniacki is reaching at least SF :scared:

The form is gone..is way too difficult to coming back.

:speakles:
ok that was unexpected
well done Sexlana! but I wonder who will advance from this half now

Sveta. :speakles: :speakles: :speakles: :bowdown: :inlove: :yeah: Good to see she overcame her nemesis even if it wasn't in convincing fashion. :)
Justine, you will be back.

This AO sucks.

I think Justine really needs to do something about her elbow! I honestly think it hindered her; never seen so many backhand cross courts netted.

She has to be patient with it.

If she surgically operates it, her career is over.
I don't think the pain will go away.

It's not going to be a win-win situation.
But who knows?

:inlove:

How really sad. Justine got beat pretty bad. And not that Sveta was playing very well too. Well, Justine still has many months to play before she retires. She will have her chances.

I don't get it. How is 6-4 7-6 beaten badly?
Like moby said. Justine was playing some horror show out there.

But take nothing away from Sveta, she was playing some pretty good tennis.
Probably choked away the 2nd set, but just when I thought Justine couldn't play any worse, she proved me wrong and showed me what an amazingly bad player she can be. :worship:

Svetlana :woohoo: :banana: :yeah: :worship:

This AO sucks.

you still have caro :awww:

This AO sucks.

:tears: We should have enjoyed more Jaja-Juju GOAT matchs. Now they are like buses, everyone can take them then they go away to reach the courts.... but not them, they still drive, drive until we don't see them anymore.

I think Justine really needs to do something about her elbow! I honestly think it hindered her; never seen so many backhand cross courts netted.

She is done.
I am not biased, I say the truth. Her doctor told her she should get a surgery, she didn't want to because it would mean the end of her career so she looked for others ways to play without undergoing a surgery.... but it stills bothers her. Her bh is affected.
She should be thinking about her healthy and retire again.

Justin :o Now Wozniacki is reaching at least SF F :scared:

Fixed.

This is sad. And Im not even a fan of Justine. Weird.

I hope she finds her A game in time for the FO otherwise I feel she might finally retire.

:o awful

:yeah:
Sveta scared me. I kind of counted her out after she didn't serve it out the first time, but Justine was so horrible and made some key errors. Sveta kind of played down to JH's level, but Sveta picked it up enough toward the very end to get her done. Good on ya, Sveta.

What a match :hysteric:
Sveta :cheer:

Wow, just watched this match and still can't believe how bad Justine played, so many easy forehand misses. :o
Just terrible performance from her.
Svetlana was just a bit better in the end. :o
Hopefully this gives her confidance to play great like she can in next matches.

Today it looked like the clash of the (titans) idiots. The bigger idiot managed to come out of top. A win for the WTA! lol

really....to Sveta???really:mad:jus completely awful Justine:sobbing: I am sure Mirza would have done the job handily:rolleyes: but still.. its after a long injury break and I forgive u:hug:

I know!!!! now I would rather if she lost to Sania instead.. Woulda served me some purpose (sorry for being so selfish but this AO just sucks). Where is Serena???? I would rather if she streamrolls everyone than mama fiona sweeping the field :lol:. But seriously Justine :help:

:eek:

Congrats Sveta!

:unsure::eek:
Please win it all Sexlana! :bigcry: You and Fransexa are my last hopes. (lucky me)

Ugly tie break, both were just gifting each other points. Sveta will probably lose next round now knowing her lol.

Unexpected to say the least :eek:

I cannot believe some clowns in this thread actually celebrating a Justine loss because you don't like her.

:tape:

Physician, heal thyself.

I think they were actually celebrating the hope that you'd shut up for a couple of days.
