I'll feel better to know I atleast had some sleep while she lost. and if she wins it'll just be a bonus

that's the best approach!

Same. I have no strength/enough drinks to watch another JJ's loss to Ana.

Good luck to all of you who'll watch it :bighug:

While they're both not in best shape and 'anyone' can win, Ana probably will because of the above.

Actually, Ana won 3 titles after beating JJ in the same event, so it's not like she only gets pumped for the matches against JJ and loses in the next round. During their primes Ana was mentally tougher, that's why their h2h was lopsided (although their matches were always close). But after RG JJ won 2 of their last 3 matches. If this match happened in the first part of the last year, Ana would be a huge favorite, now JJ has a decent chance, look at the names of the players Ana has been losing to in the last 5 months. But then again JJ herself has been losing to scrubs. I will enjoy this match regardless of the outcome, I won't get upset no matter what happens, but I don't understand why people feel like their h2h is 9-1. Maybe I'll eat my words, but I expect this to be competitive.
