Tokyo R3: [7] Dementieva def. Pennetta 64 62

:worship:

:cheer:

:bounce:

Not very impressed.
Both are good in the rallies, but today too many rallies ended in an (un)forced error.

As for Flavia, that's too many physical problems for a first tournament after 2 weeks off :( Also, 2nd serve got killed, forehand looked quite powerless....not too happy about this.

Thank you Lena :hearts:

First set was a bit scary..

Lena good day keep it up make mama Vera proud :cheer:

:woohoo::inlove:

so proud of you Lena :kiss:

I thought that they will be more friendly in the handshake but Flavia was in bad mood and Elena probably noticed that...

lena!!!!!
good luck against vera!

Well done Lena:)

Flavia:hug:

:woohoo: lena! now please go all the way

Elena, playing well this week :drool:
Flavs :hug:

I expected this match to be much closer than this scoreline.
Thank god Lena appears to have woken up from her slump. Its not too late to salvage her season.

2 useless with for flavia then as this result won't help her to rise in her ranking even though she lost in R1 last year :o
i expected her to win this, but from Linda's comment i can easily see how she played and that's the thing that annoyed me the most :o

Well done Elena :bigclap:

She can really play without pressure.

This was the first time they played each other, EVER?!!!!!!! :speakles: :eek: :tape:

Otlichno. :hearts:

I like it better when they played with each other than against, but I'm glad Lena won.

congrats Lena :D

:lick:

Well done Lena:cheer:

:woohoo:

Well done Elena

Lena :worship:

Lena :) :yeah: :bigclap:
good luck against Bepa :)

Flavia :hug:

as Fran said...flavia has probably the worst record of match lost after having lost the 1st set :rolleyes:

I expected this match to be much closer than this scoreline.
Thank god Lena appears to have woken up from her slump. Its not too late to salvage her season.

slams over = too late.
