It's a strange draw this year. The Open is quickly running out of good matches and we are only at the start of the third round. Today's schedule is completely meh.

It definitely hurt that Clijsters couldn't play and Li and Kvitova totally crapped out. All the slam winners out adds a rain cloud to the draw. Then Bartoli and A Rad had to go and lose to inspired opponents.

It's certainly been excellent for American women, though!

Ok, I love Vera as much as anybody else, but I thought the only improvement for Vera 2.0 was better seals in her tear ducts.
Just asking....

She definitely didn't have the game to make slam finals in the days when she was crying a lot. Her serve is much bigger now. I think she's always had excellent groundies, but preferred to go mostly cross court. Now when her opponent changes direction down the line, instead of hitting a defensive shot cross court she blasts it right back down the line. No matter how often she does it in a match it's so strange that her opponent is always caught a bit off guard. She was always a great mover too, but I think her explosive movement must have improved. She has to be one of, if not the best, movers on tour.
