[monmonito]

8 of the 16 seeded players are out before 3rd round.
In the top 10 only both Williamses are out.

WTA is so unpredictable, its great.

 

[ElusiveChanteuse]

5 top 10 players still in the draw.:shrug:

 

[Sharpie4me]

Sveta will be the next to leave. She's playing horrible tennis against Alona.
Maybe she just want to save her best for RG?

 

[Andy.]

I hate that I want to see the top players playing eah other in the latter stages of events. Thats what made the WTA so good in the 90's and early 2000's great rivalries and matches between the top players. I much prefered it when top players rarely lost in the early rounds I actually enjoyed watching them thrrash their opponents and then really fighting it out from the quarter finals on.

 

[Jorn]

Now Sveta is out!

 

[madlove]

this is fun.

 

[sammy01]

chaks still in though woooooooooo!

[charmedRic]

There were two players on the court that day. Please give Sveta some credit too

 

[Expat]

Is it 10 now?

 

[Matt01]

Is it 10 now?

German ES commentator just said that now 5 are left (so 11 out). I haven't checked yet if that is actually correct, though

 

[Matt01]

Safina, Dementieva (hopefully Momo beats her), Jankovic, Wozniacki, Azarenka....5 are still in, 11 out

 

[duhcity]

So technically Safina saves the WTA, not the WS?
lolol

safina should lose too if she doesn't want to be too tired for the FO

 

[InsideOut.]

Indian Wells deja vu :shrug:

 

[Uranium]

The Mandatories have been a huge fail
Indian Wells and now Madrid have had the same scenario, seeds losing early

It's not necessarily a bad thing, though. It adds some certain drama and excitement to the tourney.

Yes but it doesnt bring the casual fan to the game and it doesnt put bums on seats. People want to see the stars.

 

[AnnaK_4ever]

Safina, Jankovic and Azarenka are the only top-tenners who still have a chance to survive the 3rd round.
