Bobito drew some cartoons about wta players, and a conversation started which resulted in me uploading the video of Anna getting her ponytail caught in her racquet when she won Stanford 2007. So I guess it should go here too- the original account seems to no longer exist.

Didn't the Vika scenario actually happen to Chaky? (the hair, not the illegal device).

It was during a backhand followthrough, her ponytail got stuck to the edge of her racquet, during the Stanford Bank of the West classic final vs Mirza which she won in 2007.
Here is a handicam vid of the incident, the point starting at 2:48. Unfortunately the camera person doesn't keep Anna in screen during the time when she is disentangling her hair. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPMS0mFbyVg&t=2m48s
There was another clip of it on youtube and one on dailymotion I think but the account no longer exists, so I uploaded it again myself:
It was a really cute incident. I hope Anna can come back to play again so that she can give us more moments like that.
