I hate USO being on sky :angry: as i cannae see it!

Caz, what do you like about JHH?? I think her backhand is incredible but she's not one of my faves...

Well a lot of things really....
Her obvious tennis ability. The backhand and the underrated forehand are just superb! and without a doubt one that I envy! :P
Her personal qualities like determination and will-power.....and a moving article that I read in the daily telegraph about her younger life and her mother dying of cancer.

well I cant really explain it...she's just my fave! B)

Right, according to those watching American TV, they've spoken to Lindsay and she said her shoulder is 'doing okay', and that she will play :)

Fair Dinkum :ok:

good work scotsguy!

Poor Alicia...this ear infection has completely wrecked her career :(

I saw some of the match, and she was making so many unforced errors. Her backhand is more frail than it has been for a while.

She had been such a promising talent but like you say the backhand had been week for a while....

But a good win for King :ok:

She's agreat little counterpucher and doing well, she's tiny tho...

And Muller beat Yakimova 7-6 6-3
Peer beat Bardin 6-2 6-2

Kuznetsova is again a break down in the 2nd set 1-3

Kloesel takes the second set 6-2 :blink:

I completely agree lDF, her body just cant hack the tennis at the moment. Her serve is good, the power is still there but everything else just looks completely immobilised. She cant move very well anymore and she cant hit over that backhand. The forehand has flashes of the molik of old, but they're very few and far between. Such a shame about that inner ear infection, it has effectively ended her career as an elite player.

Great win for jUstine. Camerin is no push-over, but Justine through comfortably. I cant believe Kloesel is doing so well though, she's one of the most innocuous players on tour :lol: :wacko:

Scores

Daveport vs Zakapalova 1-0
Grannville vs Dementieva 1-3
Kuznetosva vs Kloesel 6-2 2-6
Groenfeld 6-2 0-5 (nuther shock even if Anna is more comfortable on clay)
Tu vs Laine 1-6 1-6
Srebotnik vs Morigami 6-2
Albanese vs Savchuk 6-7 4-2
Dubois vs Bremond 1-6 2-2

Lindsay survives a break point, taking a 2-1 lead.

Her serve down the middle on the ad court so far has been great :D

Kuznetsova is a break down in the 3rd set :blink:

* wish i had sky sports*

:(

:hug:

Lindsay's just broken for a 3-1 lead - she's hitting the ball sweetly so far. And she looks great in her red outfit :D

Red outfit? I've been a fan of all of linday's outfits this year :D

Trying to make up for venus not being there eh? :lol:

I'm glad she's playing better. Lindsay's trademark demolition early rounds :D

Lindsay holds to love and takes a 4-1 lead.

Her shoulder looks fine - she's not in any visible discomfort and there's no heat patch on. :)
