Lisicki vs. Wozaniacki

rad breaks kuzzy and makes all the early running.

Kuzzy gets it back on serve

as expected rad and kuzzy are having a real battle out there.

apparently it's raining......so play is suspended on outside courts :blink:

break! 5-3, rad serving for the set. i think it took 6 break points to break in that game. let's see if she can serve it out.

yes! 6-3, what a girl. not over yet though.

GSM! rad wins in straights. who'da thunk it?

and Sveta is out 6-3 6-4 to Radwanska... :wacko:

kiri fighting back against chav.

Kiri is now thrashing Chokevetadze... :clap:

Kirilenko sees off Chakvetadze routinely in the end. Two pretty major upsets in the women's there - the bottom quarter has been blown wide apart now. Is that the first time Kirilenko has ever got to the 4th round of a Slam?

Roddick out yesterday! 3 major upsets today...seeds watch out!!!!

THe bottom half is looking like defo the winner of Ivanovic Venus is the finalist. So almost defo Venus.

Ahhh I didn't look close enough at today's matches. I didn't realise it was Mirza :wub: :wub: :wub: up against Venus.

She will get smashed off the court but she is extremely pleasant on my eye.... Come on Sania!!! :wub: :wub: :wub:

well at this stage its 4-2 to Mirza... :blink:

Venus inevitably breaks back and its 5 all now in set 1....

Now 6-5 to Venus who is playing well enough to win in straights now.

I like the new sig Choka.

Speaking of sigs....doesn't Justine slot into yours with 7 slams now FW :P :P

Nice one Gav... :ok: roflmao

into the tie break... :unsure:

To be honest, the nice (and appealing) thing about the WTA is that you have things like Serena, Justine and Venus on 8, 7 and 6 slams respectively whereas in the mens game Roger has 12, Rafa has 3.... and the rest have 2 or less...unless I am forgetting anyone... :(

No ypu're right, it's definitely a bit more even on the women's side.
Meanwhile Venus is 6-0 up in the tie break.... :)

Venus came back strongly there after being down and takes the first set :ok:

Aww Sania... :wub: :(

For me Venus isn't looking like a title contender at the moment but as I have said before it's all about getting through to the second week. I expect Venus to win this one and am sure will improve in subsequent rounds....

Venus is still playing well and is now 5-3 up in the second. Question is....will they put on Lleyton and Baggy next.... It's getting late but I hope so.

yes upped her game but credit to Mirza, it wasn't the thrashing some were predicting. No discredit losing 7-6 6-4 to Venus... :)

According to the BBC they are going to put on the next match

Gav I only put the slams in of my favourite player's not by rank of current players.

If we're getting picky Venus has 14 slams anyway so still tops Justine :P in that facet.

in the grand scheme of things though doubles titles aren't what people are going to worry about too much

Only pulling your leg FW... but if Venus has 14 slams you should put her above Federer! :P :P

No they are also in order of how favourite they are :P

Federer is my number one favourite for life.

He is greater than them as well.

Venus had such a test today, and came through it really well in the end :D Mirza was hitting such devastating forehands and giving Venus little chance to work the points due to the accuracy and depth of her hitting. Venus went through the gears though with that superb tiebreak and was generally pretty comfortable then on. Her serve was great, 7 aces and only 1 double :ok:

Going into the second week now, hopefully Venus will keep on improving and work her way through the draw :D

Kuzy though :crazy1: Radwanska played a really methodical match as always, but Kuzy was just so erratic off the ground. Moving sloppily, forehand flying out and no authority on her serve, nor when she attempted to move up to net. Just dismal allround, and defies her number 2 ranking yet again.

Anna C also bombed out in ludicrous fashion. Just seemed to tank the last two sets :wacko:

Anna yet again shows her ranking is a joke...

Well her performance sure was :wacko:

Do you think Elena can take out Maria tomorrow choka? ;)

I think she can dl, she has beaten her twice and she had a marvellous win against Peer... :D
but I don't think she will... :nope:
