Serena better come prepared because Ms Cibi took her to task during most of their Miami encounter. There are a lot of fun matches tomorrow Li vs Jankovic and Kvitova vs Stosur. Kvitova vs Stosur in particular because both need a good win and showing in a clay tournament.

Like your choices tossip, but I am going to go with MK over Sara. Time for Maria to really step it up and win some matches against tough competition. I plan on interviewing her at Eastbourne, all going well, next month. Her future hubby done with hockey, so he maybe travelling with her too. Would make for a fine combo interview.:)

Well, Aga better hope she breaks out of it as she has quite a bit of points to defend at Wimbledon!


Serena is getting better at protecting her serve on the clay which will be instrumental in Paris.

Aga played a lot of tennis at the beginning of the year, and last year she started to stumble around this time. Did not do well at French Open being thrashed by Sveta, and then losing to Pironkova in Eastbourne. I remember asking her if there was something wrong, and she admitted she felt tired. However, she had a little break before Wimby and was really strong at Wimbledon and for much of the remainder of the year.


maybe Aga is thinking ahead and worried about...defending her Wimbledon final.
