[Mr.Sharapova]

I have no idea how she'll do here. Here's hoping for an easy group.

[ziros]

I think she'll do well,then get destroyed by Vika/Serena again I guess in the playoffs...

[Cosmic Voices]

haha the title. it's the only way though, she has no gameplan vs either on this surface (or any surface vs rena ) its just disappointing that as the number 2 seed she can't make anything competitive against these two. Bar stuttgart and the USO semifinal, in terms of final performances this has been abysmal from her. Maybe she'll surprise us at the YEC, but I'm sick of hoping

[Mexicola]

Just you watch. Serena will step on some glass, Vika will get dizzy, and Maria will still find a way to lose to Radwanska in the final.

[JoPova]

I want Kerber, Errani and Radwanska! No Serena or Vika please!

No don't go there. Not with the Rena fans lurking around.

I mean, In 2012 Martha is 1-7 vs fellow Top-4 players and 9-1 vs the four other YEC participants. So realistically I'd rather her face Serena in the RR, so she doesn't face her in the SF? (Of course assuming Serena makes it to the SF)

this!

Lol So true though after watching this match I really can't help but feel so negatively..still can't believe she lost like that

I smell a Maria-Serena-Kvitova-Li group just for the shits and giggles. Sooo going to happen.

[NashaMasha]

Masha should take WC for Kremlin Cup, because after this Final will be hard to get mentally ready for YEC. And Masha has lack of game practice vs decent players

[CareerSlamPova]

Just one wish: Radwanska in her group pls.

[Mexicola]

Maybe not in time for the YEC, but I believe Kvitova will be back to top 3 form soon. And that will be another huge problem for Maria in 2013 and beyond, to go along with her mental blocks with Serena and Vika. When Petra's on her game, Maria can't handle her. We saw that at Wimbledon in 2011 and in the 2nd set of the Aussie semi.

Just something else to think about on this bleak day. If Maria is stuck in a group with Serena/Kvitova, for example, I don't see her getting out of RR. She has to be demoralized at this point, after what happened today.

She's not gonna do that, she's not that desperate. It's better for her to rest up and be ready for YEC.

[Wonderwall.]

I just want her to have a good finish to such a good year.

[Jack89]

Can you imagine if one group ends up being Maria/Serena/Petra/Li and the other Vika/Aga/Kerber/Errani.
