[Maria Croft]

You know what, I'm really done with being scared mentioning her chances of winning the title. GM can create jinx threads all they want, people in here can have heart attacks every single match. Point is, if she keeps playing well she has a real shot. That should be something to be proud of, our favorite player being a favorite. Instead most of you are running scared. Not hoping and thinking she's going to win isn't going to make a potential loss any less painful anyway.

That being said, I hate all this talk about future matches, next up is her 4th round match, and I'm glad she's not on last tomorrow. So even if tomorrow is a wash out, she'll at least be able to finish her match on Tuesday.
