SEWTA & Wimbledon :scared:

Well done Sori ! :hearts: :woohoo:

No one said the transition from clay to grass was easy. :shrug:

Well done, Sori.

Back to Earth, then. Not a shocker on grass.

Great win Sorana :hearts:
Francesca :help:

Ouch !!! Tough loss for Franny......welcome back on earth (well.....on grass) :lol:
Well done Sori :yeah:
Franny :hug:

Back to Earth, then. Not a shocker on grass.

This. :lol:

its getting worse and worse on the WTA :help:
its like a fun tour :o

Great for Sori--big confidence boost! Tough day for Fran, though. Tough day to be an Italian player at Eastbourne.

Sorana :bounce:

Francesca :help:

SEWTA & Wimbledon :scared:

You are annoying. Are you stupid? I think yes.
Clay is different from grass :rolleyes:

:lol:

Great job Sorana :cheer: lets keep winning, okay?

Sori :cheer:
Trying to choke at the end of both sets :rolleyes:

Bye , Bye Schiavone !!!!!!!

Clay doesn't equal grass...I thought that's a common knowledge?:unsure:

poor girl.

Ouch !!! Tough loss.....welcome back on earth Franny (well.....on grass) :lol:
Well done Sori :yeah:
Franny :hug:

Our world no.6 and RG champion :lol:

Fantastic win Sorana :worship:

Bye Schia. ;)

Congrats to Sorana :)

I think Franny is still in party mode :lol::p

:eek: Sori. :yeah:

Myskina anyone???

Francesca probably still thinking about Paris... in Wimbledon she´ll recover, but lucky will be the one in her quarter!

hahahahaha somebody should write a book on how to beat the favourites !

Schiavone isn't top 10 on grass or hardcourts so to be expected lol.

Bye Schia. ;)

Bye Szavay ;)
:o

Sorana :hearts:

Like Princess TATI would say. "Welcome to women's tennis" :lol:

ClayGOAT but not a GrassGOAT.

:woohoo:

Well done Sori :D

Sorana is slumping and Schiavone is obviously in good form.. yeah it's grass but it's Sorana's first match on grass too. Schiavone had good results on grass last year?

Sorana :woohoo:

seeyounvrfran

sveta lost to wozniak last year, nothing special

it's the same with gaudio, costa on the mens tour...they won RG because of the surface, so it's fine to lose on grass

:unsure:

some players has had like a mmonth to practice on grass after losing in the first round of the french open while others spent two weeks winning a grand slam
am just sayin

YAY! GO SORI :) :) I wanted to bet on you after I heard about your orgasmic practice session too! But oh well, Heather won me money already :)

Soriiii :inlove:

Bye Szavay ;)
:o

Dislike her. . . ;)
Bye-bye schiavone and szavay :haha:

Sori yay! :D:D:hearts: make it two ok?!:lol:

Congrats Sori :worship:

well done Sori ;) :woohoo: :D :)
never in doubt on the grass :angel:

YAY for Sori. Playing Schiavone on grass is different than on clay, but I STILL want Sori to use this as a big confidence boost.

Schiavone had good results on grass last year?

She made a Wimbledon QF.

:haha: oh Francesca
good for Sorana though :yeah:

Congrats Sori :cheer::cheer2:

never in doubt:tape:

I guess Fran is still too happy about her win and not focused.

à la Costa :lol:.

:lol:

Finally, Sori! :yeah:

It's a tough transition to grass and Sori's had more time after an early exit in Paris. She's also better on it than Fran who has always struggled on grass. People are reading too far into it.

Fran you aren´t even bad on Grass :sobbing:

How can you lose to a player like Cirstea? :o

^ Eastbourne is grass
Wimbledon is clayish grass, cos Nadull wanted it that slow

Fran shouldn't attend into this tour...

Sorana :hearts:

Like Princess TATI would say. "Welcome to women's tennis" :lol:

in the almighty mens tennis rg winners would just skip grass season..(see Muster)

Still so so so happy for Sori :)

Fran :o

Not surprised if Fran won't win a match from now on.:spit: :p

:unsure:

OMG this is my Sori:hearts::woohoo: well done:yeah:

:haha:

Sori :yeah: :woohoo:
good win ;)

Fran is back to earth :lol:

:haha:

Sori this was expected thanks for responding to the expectations. Take confidence and fly to the title. :woohoo:

Not that big of a shock TBH :shrug:

Sorana. :hearts:

Well done Sorana but I kinda expected this to happen.

I don't know what to say....Sveta did the same last year.

I hope the Justine Henin curse won't hit Fran. After all, it's not easy to translate from clay into grass.

Well done Cirstea !

expected.

Francesca is a joke!!!!! :p

Now now.... we've had some top players have some AWFUL losses lately (Safina, Sveta, Ana... to a lesser extent Woz, Jaja). How is this much different?

Schiavone isn't top 10 on grass or hardcourts so to be expected lol.

looking at cirstea's results this year? not really.
fran :hug:

Nice one Sori!! :bounce:

Reckoned she would get the win here, but never expected it in 2 sets.

Hope she keeps it going.

Sorana :eek: I still can't believe it! :banana:

Any more proof the RG win was a fluke and she is never gonna win more slams again? :shrug:

Wow was not expecting this at all. Nice job Sori!

Relax guys :rolleyes:
It's not like Sorana is some huge expert on grass.
This is very respectable win :worship:
and now Schiavone can continue with her celebrations all the way to Wimbledon.. Bye… :bigwave:

Come on Sori! now you need to take out another RG Champion :smooch:

Nobody said she was gonna be better after winning her first slam.

She did level up to win it and that was spectacular.
TEEHEE.

no GS no Franny :p

Sorana :hearts:

Like Princess TATI would say. "Welcome to women's tennis" :lol:
Sorana. :worship: I hope she played well, we'll see how she does against Kuznetsova.

Fran is still on cloud nine. :lol:

She will actually return at Wimbledon.

Way to use your momentum Franny :help:

Totally expected. I expect Schiavone to lose in the early for the next few months. Can't take the pressure.

So totally expected....RG was great for u...but this aint clay "Cheska"

Sorana beats WTA #6 and FO champion in straight sets!:eek::):hearts::woohoo:
Reach QF, Sorana!

Schiavone :haha:

Back on earth.
Great day for Italy.:tape:

Totally expected. I expect Schiavone to lose in the early for the next few months. Can't take the pressure.

Agreed, but I'd replace "Can't take the pressure" for "can't be arsed".

I expect Schiavone to suck majorly up until the Fed Cup final.

Sorana :worship:

Roland Garros Champion losing in the 1rd round to (of all people) Cirstea who is in awful form. Another random champion, like MJMS winning Rome and Rezai Madrid. Is asking for a some consistency too much?.

Well done Sorana

Sorana :yeah: Get your confidence back here.

not entirely unexpected [/grass] :shrug:

I doubt she's too upset considering the last match she played before this one was a victory in a major final. :hearts:

eek Schiavone. still in shock she won The French Open.

franny :hug:

fran :eek::o

getit together 4 wimbly!

I don't want to have to wait until 2011 Roland Garros until Schiavone GTFO the Top 15....:rolleyes:
