[hapasaparaz]

Very strong line-up for the women's tournament.

[Vomephems]

Especially if you add Serena in.

[Romobencience]

Especially if you add Serena in.

The possibility of a Serena-Venus first round is both hilarious and frightening.

There's just something a bit wrong about making your comeback against the player you retired against. (Yes, Venus hurt herself in the previous match, but still... It's like a really bizarre omen. Good or bad? I couldn't tell you...)

OH, I know the answer, teacher, I know, I know, pick me, pick MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

"It's a bad omen."

[myspacecoo]

PIRONKOVA, Tsvetana BUL vs WC WILLIAMS, Serena

Excuse me, but I found a typo. Someone typed Serena when they obviously meant to say Venus.

[hapasaparaz]

The Eastbourne tournament director must be thrilled at the women they've been able to attract this year. And considering it's the week before Wimbledon, the men's competition isn't too bad either.

EDIT - just checked back, WTA was very good last year @ Eastbourne too. I know they've always been able to get some good players - don't remember it generally having this much depth though.

[Vomephems]

Or...typed Pironkova instead of Venus

Alternate post: Won't it just be especially pleasant when we all get to You Tube Petkovic's g*ddam*** post-victory Happy Dance?!?!?!?!
