I like Cibulkova's Pomes.

Отлично/а! = Excellent.

I like Serena's 'Come On', including the frequency she uses it (not too often, she's usually winning ).

It sounds perfectly natural, as opposed to native Russian speakers Sharapova and Azarenka.

The noises are all so overrated.

Even though Elena will always be my favorite, no yell, or "come on" or anything verbal could ever say as much as one of Anastasia Mykina's green-eyed glowers.



I don't know what happened just then, but I do know it was ALL JENS' FAULT, and the history of why it was all his fault would take too long for me to type.

So much ignorance. Transcription of eastern-european languages is in general way more logical and consistent than in English.

Off topic! But you have a great avatar and siggy pics... Is there anywhere a video of their performance??? Tell me on PM.

And to stay on topic; I wuw my Ana's Ajdes when they are after good points, I like Sharapova's and Serena's come ons after a good point.

Excuse me, but in Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic latin alphabet is the one that is used... If you reffer to cyrillic and its transcribing into latin, well cyrillic is used in: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Montenegro and some non-Slavic languages of countries that were under the Russian Empire / USSR also use cyrillic alphabet.

Serena and Maria.

Venus's "c'mon" is good too, but she doesn't do it very often, although she's started to do it a lot more since coming back this year.

[zigga]

Maria's come on

[mercury williams]

Serena's Come on IS EPIC!!!!

Thanks
As I said I didn't know that - but even if you use the same alphabet, different languages have different sounds for the same letter many times - like for example J is closer to "H" in Spanish That is what I meant when I said I am not familiar with how E. European languages are written in Latin alphabet.
