(2) Francesca Schiavone d. Maria Vento-Kabchi 60 46 61

Maria :o

Well done Fran!

Franny :yeah: congrats :bounce: but this second set?!? WTF!?! :banghead:

Strange score lol
Well done Frannie

Really? Livescore.com says MVK is leading 0-6, 6-4, 5-0. :o I got excited for Maria.

Yay Fran :banana:

You suck on grass, but as long as your winning! :D

Now it says Maria won 0-6, 6-4, 6-1. :tape:

It always says Vera Zvonareva won 3 matches in one day but I don't buy that. :lol:

I figured she would be bad on grass. Losing a set to Vento-Kabchi proves me right. :help:

Good win, nevertheless.

Stunning that Kabchi took a set off Schiavone in my opinion. Thought we might get a double bagel after the first set.

Congrats Fran! A bit crazy scoreline thou :crazy: :lol:

Congrats Fran :)

Birmingham scoreboard :smash:

Well done Fran :yeah:

Maria :lol:

Maria Alejandra :sad:

Francesca, you shouldn't lose a set to the brand new Wooden Spoon Award winner...

Oh I had thought Maria had won :sad: glad she won a match here and took a set from Francesca. At least grass brings her good memories ;)

well done fran...Now win ur doubles match as well..

Fran :D

YES!!!:banana:

Fran :D :o Grass is obviously not your surface but still, a 6-0 and a 6-1 isn't bad.

I expect you to beat Pironkova :)

To be truthful, the score isn't that surprising. Maria had a winning record over Fran and last year on grass had beaten Hantuchova and taken Myskina and Farina Elia to 3 sets.

Maria :sad: But her 1st Top 100 win of the year and a good performance. Hopefully her form will improve now.

pf I thought Maria won :sad:
