I'll put this picture right under your cake as a Birthday Present.

Caro in Practice, New Haven 2013

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Makarova vs. Halep
Caro vs. Sloane
Pavly vs. Petra
Klara vs. Elena
Now back to business at hand!
I am really looking forward to two of these matches and no, it's not Caro vs. Sloane!
That will be a good one but I am looking forward to Pavly vs. Petra, this may be payback time!
I am also looking forward to see if Elena can even her record against Klara.

It's Russia against Czech.
That has to be good!

I am looking forwards to the Caro-Sloane match. I believe that both have something to prove to themselves and tennis fans. While both play "counter-punch" tennis, Caroline is trying to become more aggressive and take charge of matches. Sloane has a very good forehand and can hit with power when she steps into the court. I know that both would like to make it into the semis and possibly win a title just before the USO.

I think the match is Sloane's to win or lose.

you called it very correctly Tossip.. Sloane is either gonna win it or beat herself...

Hey.. Mr heavy vocal pipes Kader Nouni is presiding over this one.. you have to figure that he does voice overs in movies or television

 

[tossip]

Caro is the queen of defending...all day long she will run down anything.Sloane reminds me of James Blake...the same defeated demeanor.

Sad but mostly true! Caro was just awarded a point on a challenge and Sloane didn't even argue or put up any kind of fight. The result was a break of Sloane's serve.

 

[tossip]

New Haven is Wozniacki s stomping ground she owns the event...po Sloane you are the weaker link..

 

[Hoergren]

I got my best birthday present a Caroline win and even better a really well played win. Time for a Carlsberg (even if it's 3 in the morning). Looks promising for the US Open:

she looks like she had work done on her nose...something isoff with her face:snigger

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Wow, What a Whooping Petra did to Klara! Her kountrywoman!
0 and 1
Although Quick(50 minutes), it must have been painful.

Wooohooo!
:-/

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hopefully Petra can keep this type of form in the final
Though knowing Petra....I would not bet on it
Anyway Onwards Petra....remember you are the defending champion.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done to Simona she played well against the Woz and it was a good tough win
Good luck in the final against Petra.

Kiu I have seen Klara whooped very badly and it is not a pretty sight. She is such a sweetie, but when she gets up against the big hitters, ala Petra and Angelique, Kerber thrashed her at Eastbourne last year, it was hard to watch. I remember she was in near tears in that match, felt very sorry for her.
