Glad Maria is in the SFs.
I kinda hope she will lose in the SFs so no beatdown, and I won't be annoyed on Saturday because I have a driving lesson from 8 to 10am , and the night session starts at 9.30 am  Such a fake fan too.

It wasn't the case for Vika when errani and Vinci were relevant in the draw

What do you mean? I was not talking about Vika's overall draw but just her opponent in QF

Also
So far, Sharapova has dropped a miserly nine games en route to the semifinal, and that is a record for the Australian Open. Since the Open Era began, no woman has been as ruthless or as efficient in Melbourne. In five rounds, she has spent just five hours and 15 minutes on court, which works out at an average of 63 minutes a round.

Whats funny is there is some fluff in there - it could potentially have been shorter.

Haha trih that meme 
Can't quite believe a seeded women's doubles pair had the ladyballs to beat the Williams sisters, and world no.1s too

Re: AO 2013: The Bridesmaid-Bride Double. The Sequel.
I only watched the second set, but I wasn't really impressed. Many winners, but some wild shots as well. Her serving isn't still at its best. Against Na she'll have to save BPs a lot, so she'll need to be extremely clutch with her serve! Tough match in the SF. Radwanska would've probably been easier, if Na decides to play well. But I believe Maria can win this and hopefully there'll be Victoria in the F

Re: AO 2013: The Bridesmaid-Bride Double. The Sequel.
I thought Aga would be a tougher SF opponent for Masha (not in general), but that's just me

If Na plays well, she's tougher than Aga in my opinion. Na is a formidable player on Plexicushion. Radwanska also started showing some signs of fatigue in the second set against Na, so I think she wouldn't have been 100% in the SF. Of course, if ErrorNa shows up, even Tiredwanska is superior

Re: AO 2013: The Bridesmaid-Bride Double. The Sequel.
The Na match can be potentially dangerous. However, if Maria turns up with her "A" game, there is no way Na can go home with a victory, and I would say even if Maria delivers a "B" game, Na will still find it hard to win.
I hope Maria will be in the same mood as she played Venus, I think she will....she will not let go easy the chance of going into the final.....

Re: AO 2013: The Bridesmaid-Bride Double. The Sequel.
I went to bed after Ferrer won the fourth set because I was dead tired so I missed the match.
Anyway happy for the win,6th AO semifinal and only 9games lost so far is amazing
From the comments it doesn't seem that she played particularly well. She'll need to step it up against Na. Also I think she now has 10 DF's in her last two matches and that worries me bit.
