DOUBLES MATCHES TO FOLLOW

[Unjucky]

I think Serena, Venus, and Clijsters are all massive favorites. I think Kvitova has to be a pretty big favorite as well. I don't expect any match to go three sets.

Anyone seeing it differently?

I don't know what to expect with Kvitova/Kanepi.

[eljugadordepoquer]

I don't know what to expect with Kvitova/Kanepi.

Ditto. I would think Kanepi will give it a good shot.

I'll actually go with Vera over Kim. And even though I agree Kvitova is the favorite, GO KAIA!

[DoctoBuntonTen]

Bepa has to control the pace of the match. If she can do that she has a good chance of frustrating Kim.

Kanepi and Kvitova is a toss up for me.

[kesFockplek]

Of all 4 matches tomorrow, Kim is the only player undefeated against her foe - she's 5-0 lifetime against Bepa.

Venus/Tsvetana: 1-1
Kaia/Petra: 2-1
Serena/Na: 4-1

I don't see Bepa giving Kim any trouble at all, but if others see it differently, that's fine.

[MpNelQTU]

Predicted Kanepi I did. Why all the Kvitova love? So good is she?

After today I'll go with "anything is possible".

[Unjucky]

I'm surprised anyone would even give Zvonareva a decent shot. She's an underacheiver in slams, and this is probably her worst slam.

Venus will dominate in an easy two sets, I think.

Na Li should make things interesting, but I only think it will go to 3 if Serena has a walkabout.

I think Kvitova is the favorite in her match because of the players she beat to get to the quarters. The commentators also said that she doesn't really like grass, so she's not expecting very much out of herself.

On the flip side, Kanepi has actually made a QF before. Perhaps she'll be more at ease with the occasion. Plus she qualified so she has to be extremely confortable on grass by now.

I agree. Kanepi has a big game and has been closer to the top than Petra. i believe at one time, kanepi was ranked in the 20's.


I've been a fan since watching her play Henin in Sydney 2008 (I believe). i'm rooting for her all the way!

I actually picked her to get to this point to meet Azarenka, but it didn't quite work out that way

Agree completly

[kilibry]

I see Li Na pushing Serena, and even beating her if she has an off day. Bepa/Kim is a toss up for me, as both are kinda streaky right now, and capable of dialing in or checking out on any given day.

[kesFockplek]

I honestly expected Tsvetana to have the snot knocked out of her on court this morning. Don't know how long she can stay in the match, but good for her to this point.

[warrgazur]

And she just broke Venus.

[eI7iqNot]

Vera starting to get mad

[Zvmwissq]

Venus' serve has gone on vacation.

I had a feeling Pironkova would trouble Venus. That's why I wanted Bartoli to win

[kesFockplek]

Kimmie

One to go, you hard-bodied sweetheart, you.

[Npbfamgt]

I'm speechless. Pironkova wins the first set!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kesFockplek]

Damn, Tsvetana. Girl just refuses to back down in the big matches. Gotta love that kind of spirit.

I thought when she blew the couple of set points (before Venus got the match to 40 all), that the match would turn. Didn't happen.
