Domi is continuing her good play in 2014
Domi defeats Petra 63 62
Well done Domi!!

I don't think anyone would be surprised if pocket rocket does it again.

So, we now have a rematch of AO finals in QF.

Na Li vs. Pocket Rocket.

Whoever wins this one has a very high chance of winning the title.

All I heard about the Match was that Genie's play was awful! Apparently from those that saw it they thought Genie was nervous playing Simona. Congrats to Si :)
Nonsense. Genie played very well and was very close to win the match. She made two big errors in the last game though. I will retract the word "choke" because rubydo doesnt like it, but its normal to make errors when you are under the Simona fire pressure :)

Sexy new avatar there, Si Si Simona :cool:
Its on air for 2 days, you missed it for a full day ;)

The word choke is completely inappropriate here.
Genie played great but made two big errors in the last game under pressure. I will not say "choke" because it may sound bad and not nice, but every player can "choke" now and then, including Simona.

Li is in a good position to win the title...only Radwanska or Halep could stand in her way

I guessed 10 winners out of 16 in R4, not so bad :cool:
My 'last 16' picks:
Caro, Aga, Li, Simona who else, Kley(!), Casey(more aggressive?), Flavia (experience and Camila's respect), Domi (Petra will be found out again).
I guessed 6 out of 8 including the Casey match ;)

QF picks:
Li, Flavia(!), Fire, Aga.

MySherona, I am sorry that the domination tour ended. May I recommend
two glasses of Glen Levitt, fine Irish Scotch to down your sorrows. :idea:

Maria dominates this start of 2014 tennis season.." Prepare to be awed" - R Lacoste

Well now she has to get back to the final of Miami to not lose even more points. Ranked at number 7, she could very well end up on Serena's side of the draw and meet her before the final. And she'll need to get back to the final of Roland Garros. Maria could very well be out of the top 10 by the end of the season. :cry

I was going to say the same thing.

I am off the Canadian band-Wagon and now I am about to hop on the Australian!
Casey has to play twice today, can she win any of them?
She is up against Simona in singles and #1 team in Doubles.

I may have to change Wagons again.
:puzzled

Blondes always have lucky breaks :rolleyes: :mad: She will be seeded 5, not 7 because they count only the rankings before IW! Simona is still seeded 7 for the Miami draw! :nono
If Vika retires then $ugarova is one of the 4 top seeds :speechless:

I swear her English improves every day! Good and interesting answers. Simo interview after the genie match:

And another. She sounds comfortable with English now after staying few days in USA and thinking in English :)

You like so much to lose :D each to his own ;)

Just because I pull for the under-dog most of the time, it does not mean I like losers.
I like JJ and she's been winning. Genie is not a loser either.

I also like JJ and she played a great match against Caroline the other day.
Radwanska has a h2h 4-1 against JJ.I can't recall the last time they played one another.
Hopefully JJ will carry her good form into this match today.

In the other match Halep will be too strong for Casey.Halep has a more complete game to me.

Those Canadians just cant let go... ;) (only joking)
Milos can only delay the Simona storm but not prevent it :)

Unbelievable what this little Constanza fire girl is doing to so many people out there in the world :rolleyes:
She got so many people attached to her. The Romanians are going kuku over her :)
They forgot about football (soccer) and other sports

I think Aga will win against JJ. JJ has less IQ.

I agree with your other pick.

Black and Mirza manhandling the no. 2 seeded team in doubles action. Of course, there
is a long way to go.
