Good luck Flavia and MM queens Flavia/Gise:hearts:

Good Luck Iveta and Venus! :)

Good luck Venus, I will rooting for you.

Good luck Flavia :yeah:

There is NO ONE in the stands. :tape:
It is really embarassing.

there are so many people there :eek::bolt:

Goodluck Flavia

The flags are floating. Must be winding.

hvem var det? ;) about 5 claps :o

Oh god.

claps must be from players camps :o

i cant see anyone

Is it me or the board half crashed with white background?

1-1 2 breaks Iveta serving

The board is crashed on all. Flags and avatars won't load.

Come on Iveta!

The quality is ok, could be better.
There is no atmosphere whatsoever.:tape:

seems like they're playing in a desert :lol:

Is there a livestream somewhere? :)

Iveta holds 2-1*

Iveta BH ROS sucks.

2-2...

What a miss.

Wasted two easy GP and DF to give a BP. :o

Flavia ad-court serve is killing Iveta while the Czech always miss on the easy putaways. As usual.

Flavia leads 4*-3.

Flavia leads 5-3*

Iveta wasted GPs on both games she got broken.
She lost a game where she wasted a BP.

So so so so frustrating.:o

Iveta's not winning this.
She misses too much easy shots, Flavia is serving first.

Iveta's drop :o


6-3 1-0*

On bet.fair they have bet 7,6 millions DKK on Flavia... :eek:

Benesova game not suited for clay

Iveta keep hitting right into Flavia's hit zone instead of open court.:tape:

On bet.fair they have bet 7,6 millions DKK on Flavia... :eek:

how much is that in $?:p

how much is that in $?:p
about 1.5 millions dollars

BP Flavia

about 1.5 millions dollars

:speakles:

Benesova game not suited for clay

She just not playing good.
Clay is her best surface. Thank you.

Iveta is luck to get that game. :lol:

Flavia's serving too good and Iveta is giving up. Yay.

Flavia 63 63

we get to listen to cool music while waiting :rocker2:

HSBC Sposors:inlove:

Venus is about to start

Okay Vee, whatever it takes to get to the final...... I am all set.

I really hope Venus wins in straight sets because Pennetta is playing very well
15-love

Venus sister better watch out about her weight.

30-0

she miss :l

30-all
Come on Vee

bp lumpsy:o

Wow - that was a really bad miss - DF
30-40

great serve

deuce - nice serve

Adv Ve what is she thinking,

1-love Venus

1-0 lazy start

she is getting warmed up.

Vee needs to remember that point she won at deuce. She needs to get angry because Zahlavova hit that ball right at her.

Wide 30-0

Good start Vee. Gosh, its so good to be seeing this and not just follow on the score board.:cool:

that was a nice shot - too bad it's wide -
30-15

omg what was that over lob :tape:

down the line 30-30

wow - lovely BHDTL
30-all

bp :)

2-0 the high class of mooballing :worship:

venus breaks for 2-love

nice put away - 15-love

15-0 Shes not match Babarian

Love that shot

30-0:)

30-love - great start so far

Venus is making this look like a high school drill.

40-0

40- love

some good stuff so far from Venus

40-15 - that was just frustration

Zahlavova is just too weak. Venus is overpowering her and making this look so easy. Hopefully this keeps up in the second. :scared:

Vee holds for 3-love

But I think we can all agree (all those who saw the 2R youtube/livestream) that Venus is moving 10000000% better.

she just needs patience on clay and she'll be fine.

Keep it up 3-0

Babarian cant keep pressure with rallying with Venus

straight set today, please Venus.

But I think we can all agree (all those who saw the 2R youtube/livestream) that Venus is moving 10000000% better.
so far but you know she is going to have some hiccups

Vee is striking the ball really well:hearts: This should be a straight sets win

Wow - folks have decided to fill up the stadium. It was a ghost town for Pennetta's match

bad drop

bbaad dropppppppppp agin :o

Barbara's dropshot/slice what ever :help:

Venus breaks again for 4-love

super forehand :hearts:

Babarian cant keep pressure with rallying with Venus

It's Barbora, moron.

Fabunny, Venus was wearing the all yellow dress last night. Why? Tell her to please wear the white one for the final!

4-0 :d

It's Barbora, moron.

Omg, you are on fire today. :lol: :hysteric:

15-love venus

Venus is looking pretty sharp out there 4-0, could it be cause she isn't in the yellow dress?

It's Barbora, moron.

Babarrrrrrian :ras:

deuce

Bp put too much power on the shot.

super forehand to save bp :hearts:

Fabunny, Venus was wearing the all yellow dress last night. Why? Tell her to please wear the white one for the final!

She is alternating the dresses probably because, as she said in her blog, she will be retiring the dress after this tournament.
I asked her to break the curse of the yellow dress and bring home the trophy with the dress before she retires it.
Given the way Pennetta is playing, Venus will have to play really well to win. Deep down, I want her to stick with what works and wear the white dress in the final, but this curse of the bright yellow dress needs to be broken because the color looks great on her

bp attacked on 2nd serve

Vee making a few errors now, regroup here

I have to watch the internet stream cause listening to this match in Spanish is not doing it for me.

wow - these lobs are working today

Lol Venus Comes To The Net, Just Lob

Really nice lobs from Barbara:(

I have to watch the internet stream cause listening to this match in Spanish is not doing it for me.

My commentary is British - Eurosport guy

Stop coming to the net, V.

She misss

My commentary is British - Eurosport guy

I was watching ESPN Deportes.

Come on Vee - You must hold her. If not, I smell a momentum change

Awwwwwwww sorry Vee, that would have been 5-0

Fabunny it is ESPN Eurosport dont give a shet :o

I was watching ESPN Deportes.

ok

Fun point! Venus with the great putaway. :D

I want her to wear the white dress for safety but I'd love to see her win with the yellow.

Lol Venus Comes To The Net, Just Lob

And you should get a lobotomy.:wavey:

out deuce 7 :speakles:

loose shot - come on Venus. Get it together
Love the fight though

And you should get a lobotomy.:wavey:

Omg ... :hysteric:

wooottt!! 5-0 :aparty:

And you should get a lobotomy.:wavey:

:tape::weirdo:

Venus holds for 5-love

Venus finally stopped playing around and its 5-0

I would like a double bagel, please.

Vee is moving really well on the clay to me:confused: Then again, this is the first match I have had the pleasure to see her play this week

15-0

15 15

Fun point! Venus with the great putaway. :D

I want her to wear the white dress for safety but I'd love to see her win with the yellow.

Me too. Pennetta has a winning record against Venus; beat her at the French last year and now they will be playing the final on clay - in Acapulco - where Penetta made the final 6 times in a row.

All curses are meant to be broken. :D :devil:

And yes, she is moving great. She was not moving like this against Arn. :o At least she is moving well when it counts and hopefully tomorrow's final, too. :D

Great get from Venus. Love that she is into this like that at 5-0 on deuce.

Wow - Venus is really attacking tonight. She really needs to wrap this up in 2 and get some rest for Pennetta tomorrow.

Venus breaks again and takes the first set 6-LOVE :bounce: :bounce:

Great movement from Venus! Game and first set Williams.

6-0. :devil:

Bagel :drool:

BAGEL:hearts: simply amazing:worship:

Can Venus keep this up? She looks and moves great, 6-0

Wow - Venus is really attacking tonight. She really needs to wrap this up in 2 and get some rest for Pennetta tomorrow.

That is exactly what she needs to do against Pennetta, too. At Roland Garros, she was so passive and sluggish. At Zurich, she pounced on everything. Think Zurich!

oncourt coaching :secret:

Great to see the stands packed too. There seems to be more of a crowd here than there was in Dubai:o

What has the crowd so excited?:confused:

If only Venus would play this well against Pennetta tomorrow and take this quality of play with her to Roland Garros.
People question why Venus would come to Mexico on clay while hard courts season is still on - Vee has a plan. When all those girls wil be losing their clay-court points from last year, Venus will be moving up in the rankings.

15-0 agressive :banana:

And here comes the second set. :scared:

Loving it:drool:

60 10

Venus holds to start the second set - 6-LOVE, 1-LOVE :bounce: :bounce:

Don't forget to email her that and remind her. ;) It annoys me that OZ will hurt her ranking for the whole year but '10 OZ, #1 Venus. :devil:

So much LOVE to go around. I am LOVE-ing it

Two good serves toget out of trouble and Vee rolls on

7-0 :bounce:

15-0

Focus Vee;)

Oh no. :( 1-1. :scared:

Venus giving mercy :angel:

Don't forget to email her that and remind her. ;) It annoys me that OZ will hurt her ranking for the whole year but '10 OZ, #1 Venus. :devil:

You are right. I posted a breakdown of all the points that the top players will be losing on clay in another thread, I will email it to her tonight.

As i say all the time, Venus is very forgetful, if she doesn't remember what day of the week it is or what the score is, we can't expect her to remember what is happening to other players. She is in a zone

Lazy shot from Venus, no double bagel:crying2:

destruction :lol:

Venus has lost focus in all previous 2nd sets. I really hope she keeps it together tonight and hold.

good hold 2-1

Venus should have no problems destroying Flavia tommorow :devil:

i am loving what i see, this girl is not going out without a fight though.

beautiful bh

a couple of loose points from Venus there
That was a beautiful backhand though - 30-all

So far Venus is not looking as sharp as in the 1st set

deuce again
Vamos Venus

she keeps having letdowns in the 2nd set all week

I don't like this girl's demeanor, she looks like she has already lost the match.

Framed that one - Ad - Strycova

nice game from Barbara. come on Vee!!

2-all
Venus to serve

Break her to lead 4-2 :p

Wow - I am loving the way Venus is playing tonight.

nice try

There she goes again, beating up her racket.:lol:

Damn - these lobs are killing me

good move by Venus coming to net but better move by Barbara

The girl is playing better realising she has nothing to lose

that was a good volley from Strycova. she is playing much more aggressive in this set. Come on VEnus

Well played point

that was such a fun point - 40-30 Venus

:clap2; kudos to Babarian

She reminds me a little bit of Dementieva and her squeals on court
Venus holds for 3-2

trying to dropshot the return?!!:o

Well done Vee!!

she missed that short 2nd serve :awww: go Ve 3-2

bizzare return :lol:

the girl lost her rhythym :P

0-30
break her Venus, make this a quick night

is anybody else finding this match a bore? I don't know why but I am

brilliant point :lol: she got angered by the crowd

I find he 2nd set amusing

0-30 to 40-30

Venus is gettinga bit frustrated, she needs to calm down

deuce

is anybody else finding this match a bore? I don't know why but I am

Considering the 3-set dramas that we have had to contend with from Venus 3 nights in a row, watching Venus play so well , serving better, moving better returning better- is a treat for most of us.

deuce\

nice return there Vee - break point

two good returns, 4-2

Venus breaks GSM

Vee breaks 4-2

Venus breaks again for a 4-2 lead in the 2nd set

Venus breaks GSM'

Wow - missed that serve by a mile

15-30 Hmm

WHY???? why can't Venus just take the momentum and run with it? plzzz

Come on Venus - find that box
30-all

Are They?

She missed :speakles:

Considering the 3-set dramas that we have had to contend with from Venus 3 nights in a row, watching Venus play so well , serving better, moving better returning better- is a treat for most of us.

Surprisingly, I think that is why I am so bored with this match. I want Venus to win but I would love to see a more interested match.

thank god she didnt miss deuce

nice shot Vee - deuce

out :awww:

60 52 break her for it

Awesome:armed: Come on Vee :bounce:

thank you Venus, now just break and finish it off. I can't deal with drama and heart-pounding madness tonight

Surprisingly, I think that is why I am so bored with this match. I want Venus to win but I would love to see a more interested match.

you will get that in the match against Flavia because Venus will have to play exceptionally well to win.
Venus complained that her legs were weak - too many 3 set matches in a row. She needs a break and some rest tonight to have a fair chance against Flavia.

15-0 BH great

I love this brand of tennis from Venus. If she brings this to Roland Garros, I would be very happy

30-all - break her venus
