;) You ignored one thing. That Sara hasnt done anything in the last year and she lost many matches to players ranked much lower than her. Just like Caro, she is living in the past and needs a shake up, imo :rolleyes:

but Sara made the finals of Paris just a couple of weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Li has fired 51 Unforced errors and is still ahead.

Not anymore Kiu. Those errors have caught up w/ her as she finds herself down a break after having a break. 5-4 Cetkovska to serve for the match.

That was a wicked defensive lob Petra sent Li. The game winner!

Ah there she is. There's the Li we all know! She shows up in the beginning of the year and maybe a quick flourish somewhere else in the year but for the most part DUD. This is why I get so angry when tennis commentators call her "important" in the game.

I think commentators call Li important because she brings so many Chinese viewers. As the highest ranked Asian ever, she has a huge influence. I expect a bunch of Chinese players to pour out of the country in the next 10-20 years. The Graf effect.

Hoping Kvitova and Aga make the final.

^^ Petra will need to pick it up as Lucie is not playing around. Lefty vs lefty and the lower ranked lefty is not afraid. Luc up a break in opener 5-3

Venus thought she was pulling away yesterday at 4-1 and we see how that turned out.

Lucie is draining the last ounces of energy out of Petra, JJ should have no issues with this Petra tomorrow.

Kerbie dispatches Klara rather swiftly. Wicky/Jana underway. Early break for Jana.
