We can see the future of women's tennis in Svetlana Kuznetsova. Now she's number one junior player and soon keeps WTA tour in her control. She has just started to walk the road to success. Let's support this promising young star together !!
Come on Sveta !!
Now faces Halep--they're tied 2-each, but Sveta beat her in Stuttgart in straights this year. Simona won the other claycourt meeting in Rome last year in straights. The last time Sveta got to the SF of a slam, she won the thing! (French Open 2009).
Great to see Sveta in the QF again!!!
Giorgi/Kvitova/Safarova all were aggressive players, Sveta was able to take advantage of their UEs and won as she was the more consistent player!
Halep match will be different, Sveta has to be aggressive, on return as well but still has to avoid too many UEs, hope she can do it, good luck!!!!!
I hope Svetlana's injury isn't too bad. You could see it hampered her today. Shame she couldn't have been fitter - we might have had a real cracker of a match then, because she & Simona both looked sharp at the start of the match.
Congrats to Sveta though for another QF at RG, and good luck to her in future.
she is in the draw at least but not sure what to execpt..it´s grass after all
Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) [28] vs. M.Larcher De Brito (POR)
Stefanie Voegele (SUI) vs. Jarmila Gajdosova (AUS)
Healthy Sveta should be able to beat Screamer at least!
Vögele is quite average, Gajdosova just won a grass challenger but 3rd round still is possible.
A.Rad on grass in 3rd round seems definitely too much for Sveta then..:lol:
First, congrats to Sveta for returning to Wimbledon after being away a year!
She picked up a tough first round opponent, for sure! Michelle's playing on her best surface, while Sveta's playing on her worst. Plus, Sveta has not played since the FO.
Screamo played some good tennis but that 3rd set from Sveta was just horrible but kind of expected after that injury and given the fact that she usually sucks on grass anyway.
Hope that she can have some decent results on hardcourt again
