I may have miscounted but there seem to be 3 Americans and 5 (possibly soon to be 6) Russians going forward to the third round of a Californian hard-court tournament?
If Petrova wins tonight, it will be 6 Russians in the third round in San Diego.
And Myskina and Safina are in the Sopot quarters. That's 8.
And Vera Z. and Maria S., two of the top Russian teenagers, are not playing this week. So that's 10.
And there are other good teenage Russians coming up.
