OMG NO :bigcry::sobbing::rolleyes:

Ai :( :sad: :hug:

OMG Anne should have beaten her earlier :crying2:
You are lucky Marion

Marion, great match. :yeah: Honestly, couldn't be happyier with the final :D

OMG, why?! :bigcry: She was just unbearable to me today for some reason.

Great week, Sugi. :hug: So many wasted opportunities though :o

blueprint is ready to make Bartoli the Champion :devil::spit:
:haha: Serena injury

Does anyone else think her actually backhand looks different?

:woohoo: Well done Marion! :D Great week for her.

Ai :hug: Great week for Ai too.

Well done Marion, take the title !

Ai, you have been Marionated :drool: :devil:

Did anybody happen to see me holding up the "Hi tennisforum.com" poster when they were at the ESPN2 desk in early coverage of the match? :haha: :p

Bartoli :banana:

:drive:

Oh Ai. :sobbing::hug:
SF still a great result.

ALLEZ MARION!! :hug::hearts::bigclap: Very nice to see you playing well again.

Does anyone else think her actually backhand looks different?

Yes, and her forehand aswell. She is chucking a Williams sister and preparing very early for both her shots. Not a bad idea really. :D

Ai :sad:

What a great chance for Marion to win the title, don't blow it!!!

Good win for Marion. Hope she wins the whole title.

Go Marion, win this now :woohoo: Great tourny for her! How different things would be if Anne handt choked.

Well done Marion!

Onwards to the title now :)

One more Marion please :hearts:.
Great win considering how one-sided this H2H was.

Allez for the final!!!!!

Take the title! :bounce:

Sugi :hug: great week.

Marion :yeah: A great tournament again :D

SF Eastbourne & already finals here - her form obviously is going better again :D

Well done Marion! :)

thanks! ;)

Nice week Sugi :awww:

Allez Marion !

:woohoo:

Marion now you win this tier II title....go!!! :D

:bounce: Now take the title Marion!

Yes, and her forehand aswell. She is chucking a Williams sister and preparing very early for both her shots. Not a bad idea really. :D

Yes I noticed that as well. It worked very well too!

Wow Marion!

good week for ai but losing to bartoli has to be disheartening...never a good loss for any player. and she would have likely won the title...oh well. solid result none the less.

go wozniak!

Fantastic result to finally beat Ai :bounce:

Now go and win the title :banana:

Hard luck Ai but it was still a good tournament:)!

that was a really great match from marion. :D she is definitely playing much better recently and i love it. take this title.
