Britney Spears

A SF last week in Rome is enough to give Brit the extra ace this week, and she now has 3 to use in Strasbourg :yeah:

I had strange feeling that I've seen pair Shvedova vs Myskina somewhere :p

Bojana needs to win a match!

Ugh tammy.:o

Venus wishes everyone good luck this week, as she continues to recover from the tear in her ankle.

Last chance to Elena ::facepalm:

R16 on the way.

And of course in first match Nastya will kill Yarka...
