[Lunims]

Safina beat Craybas 6-1 6-0. I saw the last few games of it, and she looked great! Craybas is a nonentity at this point, especially on clay, but I hope it can help Safina get some momentum. She was blasting winners left and right.

[Glanteeignile]

I hope she (Dina) continues - I just went out on a limb and picked her to WIN the whole thing

We're doomed. I did the same thing.

I hope she (Dina) continues - I just went out on a limb and picked her to WIN the whole thing

Sadly, I couldn't see her staying healthy for an entire tournament so I only had her out to the semifinals.

Picking ANYONE in this tournament is going out on a limb

[finasteridonline]

Picking ANYONE in this tournament is going out on a limb

except for greta arn!

[electmobile]

except for greta arn!

Grandma Greta is a sure thing for the final! Might even beat Dina in the final! Nothing pleases Grandma Greta more than beating up on high-profile Russians! Hell, once her tennis career is over, she'll probably invade Georgia!

[Nosmas]

We're doomed. I did the same thing.

... Uh oh.

[Romobencience]

Oudin??? Really???

[addisonnicogel]

Oudin??? Really???

Good win for Oudin today.

[electmobile]

Oh Aravane... It's really not funny, but
