After seeing the girls in action today (Thurs), Vera impressed me more than any others

plus her section of the draw is easier.

so lets go Vera

"Vera is my one to watch for 2002"

Yeah, Veras was very impressive today knocking out #2 Marion Bartoli...

But I'm still sticking with Svetlana. I think she will finally win her well-deserved 1st junior GS title at last.

I hope Eke can go for the upset!

I want Maria to win the 2002 junior Australian Open. But realistically, I think Svtelana will win. And that's why I voterd for her. Udachi Maria, Svetlana and Vera!

Eggy, I know you're high on Vera. But please don't go overboard! Last week you thought she would beat Maria. But Maria routined her. Right? Vera had a nice day yesterday. Beating Bartoli was a good win. But Maria had an even more impressive day, beating Myriam Casanova and Samantha Stosur, both of whom outweigh Maria by nearly 50 pounds, back to back. Especially after Casanova crushed Sharapova in their match just last week.

An all Russian final would be nice!

cat .... one swallow doesn't make a summer.

anyway in the long run Vera will do better IMO, she has the weapons to take on alllcomers.

I guess you cheer more for Maria as she is based in the US.

Beating Bartoli wasn't only a good win but the way she did it, alot of girls would have folded having missed the chance to close out the set but she got over it and became stronger.
That match was all down to Vera, her power, her shots if they were in they didn't come back.

Guess who I voted for! Go Su-Wei!!! Take home your first BIG junior title!

 

[per4ever]

Too bad for Elke..but I think she did very well for her first grand slam ..

 

[gorecki]

Ooooo Su-Wei is up against Maria 'Sharky' Sharapova in tomorrow semis!!!
