Saturday OOP + Scores!

But the belief wasn't really there from the other players. That loss to Serena really rubbed some of the luster off of Masha's aura. I think now others believe more that they can take her down. Of course there's no way to prove it, so I just say it's my opinion.

Well Justine beat her quite comfortably at YEC as well..:confused: Its not like sharpy won all the matches last yr!!

OK Martina. Pump some of hubby's testosterone in your veins and be ready. Now is the time to step up and have a weekend of revenge from these two players. BE AGGRESSIVE.

yeah good point.. soo many matches she could have won with a little more aggressivity.

Maria held serve to start the second set. There is no doubt in my mind she was injured.

I hope Elena beats Martina and then Ana beats Elena in the final :)

When will Dementieva vs Hingis start?

yeah good point.. soo many matches she could have won with a little more aggressivity.

sorry but I think you mean Aggression

Well Justine beat her quite comfortably at YEC as well

Yeah, but that was Justine in a tight two setter (at least one of two sets was tight). A victory like that wouldn't necessarily surprise many players. But to go down like she did in AO to a supposed has-been Serena Williams? That revealed a lot. But like I said, it's just my theory/opinion I fully reserve the right to be wrong. :lol: Only time will tell.

:lol: I wouldnt mind this theory to be true..:p But I think its too good to be true..;) Queen masha has quite a bit mental fortitude to come up of bad losses as far as i know

Well at least I won't have to stay till the wee hours for this match! :D
Allez davai, Lena! :fiery:

Ohh I thot u like hingis!! She has game similar to momo doesnt she???:confused:

Go Lena

all the best Elena and Hingis

:...Queen masha has quite a bit mental fortitude to come up of bad losses as far as i know

Agreed. She's is VERY mentally tough, it's really more about whether her present form will engender confidence in these other player's minds when they play her, like Ivanovic. This, of course, includes the great Ms. Mirza as well ;)

Easy hold for Hingis.

good start, Martina.

Ohh I thot u like hingis!! She has game similar to momo doesnt she???:confused:

Does she? :confused:

any link to live scores

Lena! :smash:
All first serves in and she doesn't win a pt?

Already equalled last year's result. Keep it up Martina! 8 of 9 points to start!

Yeah she must be loving tokyo (or big appearance fee :p ) But she just shudnt have travelled all the way up here after gruelling fortnight in melbourne!!Esp after the drubbing..Sharpie generally plans smart..Wonder what happened

Well she's always been able to pull herself together after a tough loss. She wont tokyo after that heartbreak of a loss to serena at the AO 2 years ago. But this time, I think mentally she's been drained and at a disadvantage since the beginning of the season....pin anyone? :o...so there hasnt been enough time to recover. but now she has two weeks. hopefully that gets it done and she'll come back strong in dubai. just crossing my fingers she isnt hurt or anything, but just being careful.

early break for Martina

omg...LENA WAKE IUUOP!

fght lena

Go Lena ;) :)

come on martina hold for 3-0

Agreed. She's is VERY mentally tough, it's really more about whether her present form will engender confidence in these other player's minds when they play her, like Ivanovic. This, of course, includes the great Ms. Mirza as well ;)

Well I would love serena forever if this happens..;)
