Alicia Molik def. Vera Zvonareva 6-3 5-7 6-2

Great Alicia!! :woohoo:

Great win :yeah:
The draw is wide open for u
hope u can achieve great results here... :)

Vera needs to stop the crying act... It is very unprofessional!

if she wants to be the best, she shouldn't cry after every lost match!

OMG she cried AGAIN?

:hearts::yeah::bounce:

Alicia :kiss:

Yes she was crying again.... When she went down a double break...

Good job Alicia, way to hang in and win!

Vera :(

Alicia :worship:

Great way to fight back in the 3rd after losing the break in the 2nd and then losing it....she seems mentally quite tough!

Good Luck against either Dechy or Petrova in the QF...good chance for Alicia to get to a tier 1 SF here! :eek: Take it Alicia PLEASE!!!!

Alicia :D

Alicia :) Well done :)

Congratulations to Alicia :yeah:

Vera, why'd you blow all of those chances? :shrug:

ALICIA :bounce:

Yes!

Alicia! :D

:)GJ Mahlick:)

Good job Alicia, when Mauresmo withdrew I just had the feeling that Alicia was gonna make the final. Now pls make it. Alicia seems to be able to take down big names and lose to some lesser player. Stay the course Alicia.

This is a great win for Alicia.

The draw is wide open for her to at least get to the Semis

Vera, Vera , :sobbing: this crying has to go. This child is way too talented to break down so often UGH Wonder if a :hug: will help. Where are her parents??:shrug:

The "Alicia is going to win the tournament" Party :aparty: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Vera:sad:

I think you need to see a sport's psychologist.

Vera needs to stop the crying act... It is very unprofessional!Really? Why? I've seen athletes cry in virtually every sport. I've seen MALE athletes cry in almost every sport, and men are usually more hung up about that.

vera :sad: :shrug: :hug:
she can virtually say goodbye to her chances of going to LA :(

vera was up 2-1 *0-30 in the third, but after losing that game it was all molik who played really well the last 4 games.

incredible that i have to cheer against alicia for the third straight time if nadia wins :angel:

What Is Wrong With This Tourney!??!?!

Awesome stuff Alicia :yeah:

CMOOOOOON I want a Masha-Alicia final ^_^

Vera :sad: :sad: :sad:

Alicia seems to be becoming a pest to the top Russians. She's beaten most of them at some stage this year - Myskina twice in straight sets :eek:

But she seems very prone to a loss after good wins so I hope she can pull through and make the final at least!!!

ALICIA :eek: :worship: :bounce: :aparty: :woohoo: !!!!!!! YAYYYYYYYY

Really? Why? I've seen athletes cry in virtually every sport. I've seen MALE athletes cry in almost every sport, and men are usually more hung up about that.
People cry, but there is a time and a place to cry, and it sure isn't in the middle of a tennis match, when you are struggling. At least not every damn match.

Vera please stop crying :(

:woohoo:
Well done Alicia :D
Great win ;)

Bepa :crying2: :crying2: :crying2: :(

Alicia :bounce: Makes OZ Womens Tennis Proud :)

Alicia has the opportunity to be entrenched in top 20 by years end.

I hope so at least.

Congrats to Alicia:) Vera needed a good run here to get closer to the championships...hopefully she can do it.

I hope so at least.

Ohh entrentched nice word

I'm concerned now. This is not a joke, she's becoming a fucking crybaby. It may be more serious than we all think, it could be that she is going through something painful.

Alicia was awesome again today. great serving. Good win!

I hope she and Masha make the final.

Good job Alicia, i like her now now that Daniela has gotten back at her for the Heart Breaking defeats she had.

Alicia could could even make the Final

in her QuarterFinal she will play

the winner of

Dechy/Petrova

and if she wins that

she could play in the SF

Loit/Suarez or Zuluaga/Schnyder

I would fancy her over a lot of these players.

Maybe I am getting overconfident.

Its just great to have a Aussie Women player with a high rankings. Top 20 when was the last aussie women to have such a ranking.

Yah Alicia !!

:banana: alicia :worship: :bounce:

now if u play petrova u can hopefulyl get a few more games off her then last time :erm: :D

ALICIA!! She can DEFINITELY go far!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Veraaaaa :sad: :sad:

People cry, but there is a time and a place to cry, and it sure isn't in the middle of a tennis match, when you are struggling. At least not every damn match.(

exactly. she really has to get a grip on this matter. it's annoying as hell and it sure doesn't help her.

congrats, alicia!
