Today they annouced that Alicia Molik of AUS team pulled out from the tournament due to injury. And accordind to the tournament rule, Slovakia team will be the winner of groub B and will be playing the final tomorrow.
According to H2H between Lindsay and Myskina, I think Lindsay never lost to Myskina. She was leading 5-1 in both set, she played so well, hitting the ball harder and serving better than Myskina. She should win the match very easy but Myskina fought back, broke back one game in each set. Finally Lindsay hold her own service game at 5-4 and won the match 6-4,6-4. Lindsay was hitting the ball so deep and hard, Myskina could do nothing because Lindsay never let Myskina play her game. USA leads 1-0.
Very closed match between James and Marat, Marat won 1st set tie-break 7-6. In tie-break 2nd set, Marat was leading 4-1 and should won the match but he made an UE when James gave him a short ball at the middle court. At 4-4, James hitted unbelievable volley shot (even Marat hitted great FH down the line passing shot). James won 2nd set 7-6. The 3rd set James won 6-4.
Here below is some today's pictures.
Have fun :kiss:
