Si!
You owe Sori an apology!!

Good, Sorana.
this isn't gonna do!

? ;) what do you mean? She lost the previous 5 matches with Errani so I am not that excited becasue Errani is not in form now, but Sori shows signs of life which is good enough for me ;)
This!

You said this when she was tied 1-1 with Sara.

Just be nice and say you are sorry, don't jinx my baby, show some support.

good. I need Serena to save her energy for the singles and beat JJ and Petra :p :)
Simona wants/needs/deserves the #7 place ranking even if she didnt win any match this week ;)

They need to play more dubs together, they are not just going to walk in here and blow the field away!

But this may be good for both the OLD ladies playing singles! Nice warm-up!

Believe me those days of walking into a tourney and winning are over in singles and doubs.

Thank you.
I don't think Sara played badly, really! As you said, Sori showed a lotta patience in the decider, she didn't try those stupid winners from off-angle positions, she waited for a good one.
Sori is talented, she just needs to control better. Next she will get her buddy Caro!
I don't know who I want to win!

Petra is making quick Spanish dinner out of Carla!

The big question is will she remember tomorrow how she played today?... :rolleyes: ;)
Its hard to change habits and styles of play. If she learned to have patience and wait then this can be a big thing for her. Thanks to Simona of course who brought that strange idea of waiting to her attention ;)
The Simona style will be learned in Tennis academies in the future, mark my words :)

I started with Sorana and ended with Simona... I am incurable :rolleyes:

Well, being as both play singles on a consistent basis, "walking into a tourney and winning" wouldn't apply to their singles.

Well, I guess u missed the China Open late last year, or Brisbane this year, and this tourney has yet to be decided.

Calvy. She didn't walk into those tournaments. Serena had been playing throughout the year. But they haven't played doubs since USO. And before that it was the spring.
