change of draw with Testud moving out

Elena D is now 9th seed and plays Elena Bovina

with winner to play Elena Likhovtseva in 2r

dunno if its a good thing or not but
glad Elena got moved but then she draws Bovina

 

[lina4ever]

Not a easy draw but go fir it Elena!

Poor Janie! Who will she root for? LOL! May the best Elena win.

 

[auntie janie]

I will root for Elena D to win, with Elena B giving a good performance to cheer her for the next tournament!

I am less worried about Elena B getting THIS draw, than I am THRILLED to see Elena D squeak out of her bad Venus-in-round-2 draw! Quite a lucky break!

 

[sartrista7]

I'm glad to see Elena D get out of facing Venus - I don't think she's quite ready for Ms. Williams just yet, judging from her Oz loss and the one consolation is that it's a virtual certainty that an Elena will be in the QFs.

Greta Arn better not spoil anything.

Ok, at least it's now a better looking draw for Elena D.

Go Elenas !

 

[thefreedesigner]

Am I the only person who thought Elena D had 'a chance' against Venus?

I guess it's relief to see her moved, but it's a shame that all the Elena's have gotten clustered together (that's assuming Likhovtseva can shake off her horrendous form to beat Arn).

Elena could still meet Venus though, and that's the match I'll be waiting for (though if it happens, Venus will be warmed up by then )

 

[fresh2flash]

Any move is not good. Elena was preparing for the match against Nagyova, not Bovina. These two play totally different tennis. But I hope Elena can overcome this.

 

[TheBoiledEgg]

looks like Elena L is going down
3-6 3-4

 

[fresh2flash]

Eggy, I was so sure that Elena L. will lose, that I did bet against her. I feel almost sorry for that

 

[auntie janie]

POOR ELENA L, WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG???

PLEASE, at least win the doubles title with Daniela! Don't you remeber beating Vain and Vainer just a few months back??

 

[the cat]

Janie, who beat Martina and Anna?

 

[auntie janie]

Cara and Elena beat them last summer!

 

[the cat]

Nobody can beat the "Glamour Girls". Except for the Williams sisters, of course. And they've only played one time.

 

[thefreedesigner]

"Vain and Vainer"! OMG! Tell me, which is Vain?

 

[auntie janie]

Martina is "Vain"!

Cara and Elena did indeed beat Vain & Vainer, & so did Ai and Julie H-D the year before. Both losses were in finals.

 

[thefreedesigner]

*cough*

Justine/Meghann also 'beat' them last year, but that was a w/o cause Martina did her ankle in.

*coughs again* They all count though!
