2012 Internazionali D'Choko FINAL w Peak Pierce:[2]Ma$ha Survived [8]NaNa 46 64 76(5)

what a final in the oldest tournament on the SEWTA tour :worship:

F2omyfTUYPA

Peak Pierce getting wet in the stands watching this probably felt she could beat either of these MUGS :awww:

OMG, abysmal match from both. Li choked a 6-4 4-0 lead. Maria, never one to be outdone, choked a 4-6 6-4 4-1 lead to let Li back in. Sadly someone had to win, so WD to Ma$ha :cheer: 2 clay titles this year :yeah: Her best clay season to date, Stuttgart W, Madrid QF, Rome W?

:hysteric::hysteric::hysteric::hysteric::hysteric: :hysteric::hysteric:
winning the most dramatic final of 2012 in the rain


MASHA YOU ARE MY IDOL :inlove:

I expect tennisforum to enter a database error
so much choking but sensational effort from both

I've never seen my girl so happy!

I need some therapy now :facepalm:
26th Title, GL at Roland Garros :cheer:

lovely handshake

Chariots of Fire :haha:

Li lead 6-4 4-0. Crawled back from a double break in the third and still lost :hysteric:
I just can’t Li.

You can't choke if I choke more! :crazy:

Li, you idiot :o
http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3s7ngUasX1r1vcx3.gif

The fuck was that? :hysteric: I'm so glad Maria won. :sobbing:

Thank you Jesus. What a tragic mess of a match. :lol:

DEAD @ the stats :tape:

This is why i love you, always fighting LOVE YOU MARIA!
AMAZING FIGHT

The thread title should be Li Na and Sharapova defeat tennis.

thank God ot's over..
a shame for Li, but conrats Maria..
kudos to both for havingto deal with those conditions :o

I left when Maria was way down but even then Maria was playing awful to get down that much.

Maria :sobbing: I am crying.

Mess of a match. Good job saving Mp Maria. :)

That has to be the most dramatic match of the year - no doubt :worship:

NA :sobbing:

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2_Dc5zS5Kog/T7kkBdSs9oI/AAAAAAAAAXA/VxuknrtJ8as/s1600/NLi-Sharapova.jpg

Fuck off.

At least they saw the funny side of it

Na. I love you and I hate you :tape: :help:

WD Maria.

Yes.

what a final in the oldest tournament on the SEWTA tour :worship:

Peak Pierce getting wet in the stands watching this probably felt she could beat either of these MUGS :awww:

:haha: :haha: :oh:

New clayGOAT Sharapova :lol:

:haha:

Congrats Maria! Good luck at RG now :awww:

Well done Maria :worship:

Will the Mens final be played later?

MASHA! :worship::hearts::worship: What a crazy ass match :tape::lol: Another title for the Clay GOAT! RG next :armed: :kiss:

Crazy shit.....but BIG CONGRATS to Masha "newborn clay-queen" :worship::worship::kiss::kiss::worship::worship:

Great fight from both players in these tough conditions. Playing through the rain like there wasn't any and the numerous random collapses out of nowhere made this really dramatic. Maria looked so dejected at 6-4 4-0 I have no idea why Li started messing up. Then Martha started making random errors at 4-1 third set.

Maria has now won two tournaments having saved MP in the space of two months.

What a match :sobbing:. EPIC :worship:.

The handshake said it all :worship:.

Both not gonna win RG

that's for sure

NaNa won more points :sobbing:

Congrats to Maria! It was such a nerve wracking final. Especially waiting for tiebreak to beagin.

Li won more points, had more winners and less errors and still lost :o

Battle of who choked less and Maria won. Li is quite the choker! This is like the 2nd time I remember her blowing a huge lead...but Sharapova almost outdid her.

Comically bad match and EurosportFAIL for showing the third set recorded from the start while they were back on playing the tiebreak.

classy li! nice handshake! :)

thank you for literally gifting this match to maria, nana :hug: I love you

no comment about the match :o

as for maria, don't pull the cinnatti 2011+ USO 2011 run in the next week RG...thank you

damn that tiebreak :smash:

an iconic match in wta. :hysteric:

So proud Maria won this lol despite the choke, the rain, the helicopters and the firecrackers lol

Maria :cheer:

Serena could have been the Queen of Clay, had she not retired. Whatever I think she will win RG anyway :lol:

Maria :aparty:

Congrats Congrats

What a hard-fought match !

Li :hug: what a lovely handshake, I love her personality :inlove:

bizzare match with both trying outchoking the other.
Martha was so passive in this match hence the low number of winners.
Li played goat tennis before choking.

RG here comes masha.Awful match btw

Both deserved to lose. :sobbing:

thank you, Maria. :sobbing:

SO EPIC :bowdown:.

I'm speechless.:devil::devil:

Looks like clay is officially the best surface for Sharapova. :lol::help:

All the best to Li Na in RG.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

a match that could have finished in just 1 hr and 30min.. :facepalm:

hahah wow that match. glad maria could choke slightly less than na and take the title

:lol: epic fail from Na The match was hers and she choked it away :lol:

Sharapova lucky with the last two points, her was close in and then Li's was close out. What a dramatic match

Shows sad state of WTA when clay bovine Queen wins Rome twice :tape: :help:

Phew. That's all.

Congrats, Masha.
:hug: Li Na.

Beyond The Baseline ‏@SI_BTBaseline
Li: 21 winners, 56 UFEs, 5 DFs, 110 points.
Sharapova: 20 winners, 59 UFEs, 10 DFs, 109 points.
:oh:

Pierce! :bounce:

maaary :hearts:

Both deserved to lose. :sobbing:

Owned!

I'm speechless.:devil::devil:

Looks like clay is officially the best surface for Sharapova. :lol::help:

All the best to Li Na in RG.

Says a lot about the current state of women tennis. :lol: :tape:

Poor Li :hug: Congrats Maria

who cares if li choked and it was a shitfest maria saved match point and defended HER title. :rocker2:

My favs still dominating clay season so far. Serena and Maria 2 titles each on this shit.

PEAK PIERCE IS PRESENTING THE TROPHY :sobbing::sobbing::sobbing: so much life I'm not worthy

Best part: No DF in Tiebreaker.

Well, on a positive note, it was better than the last match they played qualitywise and at least this one was competitive and full of drama. Heck, despite the less the sterling quality it was even entertaining at times in a kind of gruesome way. And yes, that was a lovely handshake at the end.

So disappointed. :sobbing:

Best part: No DF in Tiebreaker.

Good point. :yeah:

More like Sharapova survived herself. Her serve was so on during Stuttgart but since then it's been back to being almost a liability. Anyway I'm very happy she eked out the win.

PEAK GOD PIERCE :hearts:

Omg Im in tears of happiness for Maria :bigcry: Congrats Masha :worship:Very well deserved!!! :bounce:

Na and her fans. :hug:

Sharapova and Noah making 5 :lol::lol::lol:

Maria should laugh more often

No Comment. Tour shambles

Good luck to both in French Open. :o

I think Serena will win RG this year unless G.S-SF-Rena shows up. :p

More like Sharapova survived herself. Her serve was so on during Stuttgart but since then it's been back to being almost a liability. Anyway I'm very happy she eked out the win.

You only watched the final. Her serve was really good in the first 4 matches.

Na? Li? :weirdo: :smash: :o thorougly and completely disgusted. no words. Get ready for RG I guess. :hug:

Cue the inevitable 2-month slump from Li. :lol:

Congrats, Maria! :yeah: The FO is really between her and Serena.

Na and her fans. :hug:

I literally feel like I am owed something after THIS. Perhaps money.

Maria is trending on Twitter. :lol:

Says a lot about the current state of women tennis. :lol: :tape:

Poor Li :hug: Congrats Maria

I think you should give some credit to Maria, she improved greatly on this surface. Of course there are no real clay goats right now and that's not her fault. You can only beat who is in front of you. Maybe if players like Petrova, Kuznetsova, Jankovic, and other "supposed" clay specialists like Errani, Vinci, or Medina Garrigues actually gave a shit then she wouldn't be winning clay titles. :shrug:

I am exhausted after this match :sobbing:

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f337/Gainsy/unsee.gif

Masha hasn't a lost a single match on red clay so far this year going into the French :sobbing::worship:

I just have to repost this:


Not that surprising, it's because Na is a queen ballbasher. She has one thing that makes her stand out which is impeccable footwork, but other than that she is a BBB in the truest sense of the word. Hits the ball one way the entire match with no variation. Whether she's up 6-0 5-0 or down 7-6 6-7 0-4, she does not change a single thing. Everything is on the lines or out. Even when she's playing well you always get the sense that shes hanging on by a thread... It's like if the wind starts blowing at 1mph faster all of her GOAT shots that are painting the lines suddenly become instant UEs, and she makes no effort to take some air off the ball, LordRena forbid she plays some smart tennis and allows her equally errant opponent gift her 2 games to close it out 6-4 6-0. It makes rooting for her a chore.

A horrible player, I hope she loses R1 at RG and falls out of the top 10, where she belongs. As for Maria, sort your serve out girl :o

Peak Pierce was given a golden racquet :sobbing::sobbing::sobbing:

Only the 3rd time Maria has successfully defended a title I think? After Birmingham 2004-05 and San Diego 2006-07.

LOL at Maria during the trophy presentation ''We both tried to play our best today'' :hysteric:

Rafa and Nole must be mad and bitching hard about WTA.

I swear to God, one of these matches I'm gonna have a heart attack :sobbing: With the rain delay I had the Cincy 2010 feelings all over again :o :tape: Li really should have won this in two. And Maria with two points for 5-1* in the third set, that was another howler. WTA at it's best. But it's 7 for 7 in three-set matches for Maria this year and that stat is the only thing keeping from from breaking down to pieces watching Pova struggles. Once again she elbowed her way through some serious crap and won the damn thing. And if we consider Li was a no-show in Miami earlier this year, it's the first really meaningful win over her since RG 2009. Li is one of Maria's nemesis of late (since she announced herself as Top 10 contender) and I always have second thoughts about their matches.

Just like Stuttgart, Pova saves MP en route to the title. About time to make up for some of the clunkers from the past. I reckon that Cincy final remains the last one where she blew a MP herself and lost the match in the end.

I was flattered to see some of usual Maria haters and WS fans to actually care about this final and hang around through the rain delay. I know Rome was irrelevant to Serena fans once she retired, but I appreciate your interest in the sport. And hopefully you're not THAT mad over the end result :wavey:

When Li was on, she outplayed Maria and that was obvious, then Li choked that epic choke in the 2nd set. Maria was just solid enough to take advantage of Li's drop of form in the rest of the match. Good for her but still not the clear fav to win RG IMO.

This is why Li Na deserves the choker of the year award already. First the Kim match at the Australian, not to mention her other horrendous matches and now this mess.

The trophy presentation is just as tragic as the quality of the match preceding it. :worship:

Total unorganized mess.

Lol at Maria saying "She has to mention the sponsors" like she is being forced to do it. :tape:

chokeli i have no words, see you back in a couple of months i guess

You only watched the final.
In fact I watched some of all but one of her matches.

From 6-4 4-0 down, your fave could never.:lol:

Only the 3rd time Maria has successfully defended a title I think? After Birmingham 2004-05 and San Diego 2006-07.

Tokyo 2003-2004 as well right?

Only the 3rd time Maria has successfully defended a title I think? After Birmingham 2004-05 and San Diego 2006-07.

She defended Tokyo MM in 03-04.

Well done, Maria.

Omg Li's speech began with "Well this match was joke no?"

Li is still a tough match-up for Maria on clay, this is in no way going to start being a lopsided H2H in Martha's favor after this match.

Tokyo 2003-2004 as well right?

Oh, yeah. The MM version though :lol:

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2_Dc5zS5Kog/T7kkBdSs9oI/AAAAAAAAAXA/VxuknrtJ8as/s1600/NLi-Sharapova.jpg

Why does a match up between these two always end up in an error fest.

Li is still a tough match-up for Maria on clay, this is in no way going to start being a lopsided H2H in Martha's favor after this match.

hmm who said otherwise?

From 6-4 4-0 down, your fave could never.:lol:

actually, she has :oh:

What a lovely shitfest: this is all I have to say.

Oh, and thank you Maria :hearts:

Mary :worship:

No one that I know of? Just stating it. :lol:

actually, she has :oh:

He was baiting.

Pierce is well past her prime :[

LOL, Serena would've made mincemeat of both.

Please get that serve sorted out, gurl.

From 6-4 4-0 down, your fave could never.:lol:

Li Na will always remain the only mentally retarded GS champion in tennis. :worship: :bowdown:

LOL, Serena would've made mincemeat of both.
Rome has not blue, green or violet clay sorry

congrats to maria ; she need to rest and prepare herself to RG !!!

Fck me. I am so over the moon right now :sobbing: I was shattered at 4-6 1-4. :hysteric: What a fighter :sobbing:

So sorry Li, as I am a fan :tears: This one could have gone either way.

Rome has not blue, green or violet clay sorry

why, why?! :banghead:

Mariiaaaa :worship: :hearts:

26th title :yeah: great comeback :)

Li :hug:

Li Na will always remain the only mentally retarded GS champion in tennis. :worship: :bowdown:

You're a broken record. so pressed I see :lick:

Rome has not blue, green or violet clay sorry

surface is irrelevant.

This made that Cincinatti final look like a classic. oh well, get your revenge in Paris Na? Li? :devil:

Comically bad match and EurosportFAIL for showing the third set recorded from the start while they were back on playing the tiebreak.

No, Eurosport 2 showed the whole tiebreak live, including the warm up. In 1080i HD too :)


Conditions were terrible, no wonder statistics are terrible, but still there were some brilliant points in the match

what a final in the oldest tournament on the SEWTA tour :worship:

Peak Pierce getting wet in the stands watching this probably felt she could beat either of these MUGS :awww:

The first time I read this. :hysteric:

serena maria is the same result regardless of surface.
na serena depends.

Maria is a great Champion and Li Na is great jocker^^

You're a broken record. so pressed I see :lick:

British Eurosport 2 haven't shown any tiebreak yet. They abandoned the match at the rain delay, then returned with a 3rd set repeat about five minutes before the tiebreak started. They are currently showing the 6-5 game.

yaaaaaay, but what a weird match

:hearts: beat that Nadull :bigwave:
Masha please show this spirit, not this form, in RG :yeah:
Na :hug: girl get it together mentally. You just can't afford to lose these kind of matches.

Maria -true champion , nothing to add .


Conditions were awful for both and it affected the game seriously , But the better player , who had much tougher draw on her way,has eventually won the title. Congratulations Maria.

This made that Cincinatti final look like a classic. oh well, get your revenge in Paris Na? Li? :devil:

She has your mind :hearts:

No one won. Tennis lost.

Surprise, surprise. TF tards strike again...

That's tennis, sweetie. Chokes, comebacks and downright fuckfests have been happening since the sport came to pass. It makes for an exciting sport. Deal with it and grow up. :wavey:

9 match winning streak on red dirt for new ClayGOAT in the making:bowdown:
I don't even care if she played like crap today - she still won and defended her Rome crown...to be fair, I only saw the end of the tiebreak and I guess I didn't miss much either:lol:
7 more matches on red stuff champ:drive:

LOL Ivanovic?

who?

British Eurosport 2 haven't shown any tiebreak yet. They abandoned the match at the rain delay, then returned with a 3rd set repeat about five minutes before the tiebreak started. They are currently showing the 6-5 game.


Yes, I know :) I had British Eurosport 2 on one TV and Eurosport 2 NE HD on another (from Hot Bird).
Still, the same commentators :)


The match statistics are pretty funny:

Firsts serves - Li Na more
Double faults - Li Na less
Winners - Li Na more
Errors - Li Na less
Total points - Li Na More.

That shows what statistics are worth.
There should be statistics of big points instead.

And both would have made mincemeat out of Petra :lol:.

Petra fans are really sad these days, jumping on Serena at any chance they get solely cause their fave is too fat enough to do the job like I said really sad.

who?

he meant ivvanovic or ivonavic
tf grammar :facepalm:

love you Maria :yeah: :worship: :eek: title #26 :)
what a rollercoaster, reminded me of the Clijsters-Henin 2010 Brisbane final :lol:

2nd title of the year saving MPs in both ;)
and unbeaten in three-setters since the USOpen

PeakMary in the stands :hearts: :hearts: :sad:

haters stay pressed :devil: :wavey:

I've never been happier to be a Maria fan, and I've also never been happier to have slept through a match. This one would have undoubtedly killed me :lol:

Second time in three tournaments that Maria has beat a reigning Grand Slam champ from match point down. She's also defeated all four slam champs on red clay this year. Good luck in Paris :yeah:

Petra fans are really sad these days, jumping on Serena at any chance they get solely cause their fave is too fat enough to do the job like I said really sad.Yep, they've lost identity.

Wins a win. Tournament win good for confidence either way.

So rain is better than wind. Last year Masha lost to Li Na @ RG because of the wind.

111 UE your fave could never

Mine could :o

Well done Maria :worship:

Will the Mens final be played later?

I hope so ..... otherwise I'll just be left with the memory of this shitfest from two players in the top 10 :help: and it might just put me off of tennis.

Li Na? really needs to see a sports psychologist and I mean REALLY :rolleyes:

Maria and Serena won all big clay tournaments between them. Truy the top 2.

SOMEBODY HOLD ME I CAN'T :hysteric: :hysteric: :hysteric:

Yes, Na choked her ass off in the second set (thank you very much), but the way Maria saved MP at 5-6 in the final set was just :inlove: :bowdown: (How fucking retarded btw that the one MP Maria saved was in the final set rather than in the second set :spit:) 2-time Rome Champion, 26th title, and second title won this year from MP down :worship:

Na and her fans :hug:

And Maria is in no way a favorite for RG. Matches like today just remind me how fucking random her form is.

Maria and Serena won all big clay tournaments between them. Truy the top 2.

based on 2012 performance the top 3 should now be: vika/masha/rena

vulture can live her life at 4 + petra :help:

She's definitely not the overwhelming favorite, but winning the two biggest red clay warm-ups has gotta count for something :shrug:

A lot of drama, but not quality.

Very very disappoiting match from both players in nearly any standards.

based on 2012 performance the top 3 should now be: vika/masha/rena

vulture can live her life at 4 + petra :help:

At least Vulture won Miami. Gollum is going empty handed this year in slams/Tier 1's :lol:

From 6-4 4-0 down, your fave could never.:lol:

:weirdo:

She's definitely not the overwhelming favorite, but winning the two biggest red clay warm-ups has gotta count for something :shrug:

No, for sure. I'm just saying she could easily throw in a shitshow like today and lose the match :shrug:

Li Na is def choker of the year...4 match pts against Kim at AO, 1 set and a break against Azarenka in Madrid, and now this. As much as I like her as a player and a person, this is why she only has 5 titles and will always have a hard time winning more. Ugh, just so frustrating watching her matches! She really needs to see a sports psychologist and be less of a head case. When she's on, Li Na is such a good all around player to watch. She should really be a threat to win every tournament that she's entered, but then she self implodes! Ugh

Congrats to Maria for again toughening it out. She wasn't at her best, but I think overall she should feel positive by her form. Def a strong contender at RG.

What did I watch? :hysteric:
Hilarious match. :rolls:
Peak WTA :bowdown: but still unbelievable.

It was incredibly nerve-wracking, amazing turnarounds (chokes).
So intense and so dramatic. The tennis sucked most of the time but what a final nevertheless.

I am so happy for Maria :hearts:
but mainly I feel relief that is over.


Feel bad for Li though, after that AO match this year that was another match hard to get over. :hug:

Good luck to both in RG. :yeah:

No, for sure. I'm just saying she could easily throw in a shitshow like today and lose the match :shrug:

Sure. Good news is she's been winning those shit shows this year.

And both would have made mincemeat out of Petra :lol:.

LMAO

I'm just saying she could easily throw in a shitshow like today and lose the match

positive sign is that she didn't lose even playing far from her best and found her chances to turn this match in her favour

Hopefully "AO R4" won't happen in RG. :sobbing: All girls will be on their own, no on-court coaching. :o

I hope so ..... otherwise I'll just be left with the memory of this shitfest from two players in the top 10 :help: and it might just put me off of tennis.

Li Na? really needs to see a sports psychologist and I mean REALLY :rolleyes:

LOL just noticed that you had said this. I just posted the same thing.

btw, love your new avatar ;)

Sure. Good news is she's been winning those shit shows this year.

True. :worship: 3-set GOAT.

Shows sad state of WTA when clay bovine Queen wins Rome twice :tape: :help:

Absolutely ..... plus when two top 10 players choke that much :tape::help:

says a fan of PEStra Errormachinetova. Oh the irony!

It's hilarious how Petra fans use serena to create drama because they know their shit fave is washed up and not a treat to anyone anymore, loves it

Sure but she's not the only one is she? If i was forced to support your fav who is also (still) top 10 i would have quit watching tennis some time ago.

Spot on.

:rolls: at petra fans seething on here...it'd have been better if they would just focus on their fav's well being instead of try jumping on bandwagons of certain players and gloating on the losses of other players who are doing better than their fav this season

Maria :bowdown: Im not worthy, true Rome-GOAT

Li still has a good chance of defending her title though, if she can reproduce the play for the one and half sets she did during the final, im quite positive

:rolls: at petra fans seething on here...it'd have been better if they would just focus on their fav's well being instead of try jumping on bandwagons of certain players and gloating on the losses of other players who are doing better than their fav this season

I don't get what their problem is either. Kvitova acquitted herself with a lot of class this tourney, playing through her QF despite injury. They should focus on the positives instead of throwing chairs out the window @ Maria and Na's match today :shrug:

positive sign is that she didn't lose even playing far from her best and found her chances to turn this match in her favour

Even you have to admit that surviving Li Na had much to do with Na's brainless gameplan. Down 0-4, she wouldn't have had an easy time eeking a win out against someone who knows how to keep the ball in play, most of her recent conquerors in big events(Azarenka, Radwanska, Pennetta, etc.) Maria's performance was not one to be happy about, although to her credit she has been much better this clay season.

Very happy for Maria!!!:bounce::bounce::bounce:

they have been doing that since madrid! serena is the only one who trashed both vika and maria so they feel the need to lick the ass of serena and her stans on here

really, they should just remind themselves of who they stan for primarily and stop being pathetic

Martha seemed kinda tired the whole match and her serve was gradually getting worse which testifies to that fact. She can definitely use this week of rest now.

Peak Pierce is really pretty.

111 UE your fave could never

The European clay tournaments, especially Roland Garros, tend to classify all errors as unforced, so I wouldn't read too much into that statistic.

I Luv Kvitty is truly the worst kind of troll because he combines bandwaggonish asslicking with his obnoxiousness. Now he's slobbering all over Serena, but a few short weeks ago...

So, Serena and Maria can face each other in the QF at the FO right? I'd be pissed if I were them, Maria especially.

Does anyone have the handshake or the tie-breaker video? I saw the entire match except for the the end cause of the stupid rain and work.

Gracious and humble speech by Pova.
Li Na's English has sightly improved but she seems to have lost her sense of humour.
What are Noah and Pierce doing here with their golden racquets ?

So, Serena and Maria can face each other in the QF at the FO right? I'd be pissed if I were them, Maria especially.Thats actually our preferred draw :lol:

Li and those conditions must have been very tough today.
She hung in there well, and claims another title :worship:

Hope she brings the convidence from this win to Roland Garros, and not her game :p

So, Serena and Maria can face each other in the QF at the FO right? I'd be pissed if I were them, Maria especially.

Yes. It's better for the tournament if both are on opposite sides but they seem to always draw each other. So prepare for it. :lol:

Thats actually our preferred draw :lol:

:secret: Which one of them has won more RG quarterfinals lately? :oh:

YASSSSS. WORK. :cheer:

Pretty much. That's the QF I am prepared for.

so what...which one of them has won the last 7 meetings? :oh:

:secret: Which one of them has won more RG quarterfinals lately? :oh:

Playing Kuznetsova, Henin, Capriati, and Stosur in the QF is alot different than playing Sharapova who Serena pretty much owns.

And, I don't believe the likes of Petkovic and Patty Schynder are QF draws that leave you shaking in your boots.

Here we go! Serena is suddenly the topic of a final she wasn't even a part of :facepalm:

so what...which one of them has won the last 7 meetings? :oh:

The thing is, the matches haven't even been close except that AO match played many moons ago.

Here we go! Serena is suddenly the topic of a final she wasn't even a part of :facepalm:

Just talking about potential French Open draws.

Indeed, GodRena just needs Maria's wig on red clay to complete the Sharapova Slam :inlove:

TheDream brought the Lord up. Hes one of you guys, isnt he? :lol:

I think we would know if he was one of us :lol:

i know i know this would turn to a serena maria thread once again :sobbing:

And? She lost all her matches against Sybille Bammer too, right? I am just saying Patty Schnyder in a FO QF is alot easier than playing Henin twice, Capriati twice, Kuznetsova, and Stosur. And, she had significant leads in all those matches except the one Henin lost.

Sharapova took advantage of her easier QF opponents but couldn't beat the tougher ones. Didn't she have to play Henin and Safina in the QF a few times? There goes my point.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2cyh1u1.jpgOK bitch, now don't go crying foul with what happens next. :lol:
