So happy:sobbing::sobbing: hopefully she can put a fight against Kim

come on Caro:bounce:

 

[Ryan]

Can't believe she did it. I remember being pretty worried Cirstea would send her out...and now she's in a Slam Final. The only time I'd say Caro got "lucky" in her draw was for the SF - there's no excuse for no seeded player coming out of that section. :lol:

I just hope she can play well against Kim, hold her serve, and makes it competitive.

Bye the way anybody have check on where she came in the US Open Series as that might give a bonus?

Carolne Woznacki finished at a tied 5th place, but only the 3 highest ranked players can earn an US Open bonus, so no bonus for Woz.

Well I think Caro is more than a little overmatched today but as long as she plays a competitive match I'll be incredibly happy.

I posted this just a few week ago btw , I didn't know I'd be that wrong :lol: :

good luck tonight Caro!

Yes! Good luck tonight Caro! I am bummed I won't be able to see her play--I don't have cable or satellite and they're not airing it here in the US on CBS due to the President's spiel on health care reform which they're airing on 60 Minutes. I'd rather watch tennis and this is a really big deal with Caro making her first Grand Slam Final. But, GO CARO !! :bounce:

I'm just so proud of our little Cryoline Pushniaki! :hearts:

When she had reached the quarters, I was really happy, as she had finally gotten past the 4th round. And now she's in the finals! Unbelieveable, isn't it? She hasn't had a tough road to the final, but who cares? She's beaten the players who beat the big names, so I'm really, really pleased.

I really feel bad for Caro (and Yanina) that almost no one watched their match! The weather totally ruined everything, and the drama at the end of the Kim-Serena match took away all the attention from Caro-Yanina. She was really nice about it in her interview, though! Here's what she said:

Q. Playing in that stadium where it was maybe 300, 400 people in there and it was empty, was that easy or hard for you?

CAROLINE WOZNIACKI: Maybe actually it was easier, because, you know, you didn't really feel the thing that you're in the semifinals. You didn't feel the pressure too much that actually you're so close to being in a finals. Only two matches away.

So I mean, I understand the people. We were waiting all day to get to play, and the weather really didn't want everything like we wanted it today. But we got to play, and I'm very happy.

On one hand, the Caro-Kim final is amazing for me as they are my two big favourites, but on the other hand it's a really bad situation as I want both of them to win badly -- Caro's in her first slam final ever, and Kim has just come back from a long break. I don't want any of them to lose. :sobbing: I am definitely going to watch it, though! I'm really confused about when they're playing. The official OOP says they play after the Federer-Djokovic match, which starts 16:30 local time, but I've heard lots of people and websites say that the match is at 21:00 local time?

Does someone approximatly know Caroline's ranking after the USO ?? Will she be top 5 ??

 

[sunsfuns]

I haven't posted on the board for some time, but I think this is a perfect timing to come back and congratulate all Caro fans with her first GS final!

Honestly I didn't see it coming at all after mediocre results in summer hard court tournaments. Of course draw turned out to be very good, but she had to take her opportunity, beat an elite player (Sveta) in a slam and here she is! And I like her chances against Kim a lot more than against Serena. Good luck!

#6 as a finalist, #4 as a winner

 

[stangtennis]

The ranking infor after US Open is even put at her Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caroline_Wozniacki

She is the first Danish woman to reach a Grand Slam final, where she will face unseeded Kim Clijsters. The runner-up showing will allow her to reach a career high ranking of No. 6, and if she wins the title she will rise to No. 4 in the world.

I think it's fun to see so many of the old crew show up, Caroline should get into GS Finals more often.

 

[Protoss]

I really wish Caro's semi had been played in front of a full crowd and televised live. It just seems like Caro was pretty short changed on such a big occasion. :sad:

 

[C. W. Fields]

Both the WTA and USO sites have picked Clijsters as tonight's winner (so have I for that matter :angel but I really don't think Caro minds the role of underdog.

 

[Jorn]

Even with a loss tonight Caro will reach No. 3 or 4 in the Race List with her so far 1400 points won from the SF. She's has about 2200 points more than the No. 8 player, so ithink she's 99% sure in Doha, as so many players can't all win the next 3 bigger Tournaments and get the 2200 points they needs. We will see when the new Race List come out tomorrow...
