Toronto 2013: Rogers cup

[tossip]

Lindsay has always had some bad blood with the sisters dating back to the nineties.I think she is probably jealous that Henin and Serena have moved on from that incident , shared champagne and chatted in french like old friends.Another situation must be the Serena and Hingis situation..the also seemed to have grown up from those days of cold war and having dinners..that must be ecking Davenport who never congratulated Serena and Venus for their gold medals but congratulated everybody else.
2005 Wimbledon must be still hurting her a lot...

Li Na and Stosur have unbelievably deep voices.....

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

I don't tweet but wish someone would ask Serena to please do something with that nasty weave, wig, fall...what ever it is called. Very unattractive.

If her appearance means so much to you, you should create a Twitter acct and tweet her yourself. From what I hear she has a Facebook acct and you could also post a message there.

Serena has been doing fine since that hairdo, I doubt she is going to change it. you know how superstitious athletes are, right?

might do just that...

Li Na and Stosur have unbelievably deep voices.....

probably the "juice" they are drinkinguzzled

Sorana is smelling upset just about now, and if she does it, I'll put her picture up again.
Ahead a break in the decider, Sorana leads Petra 2-0

Li Na and Stosur have unbelievably deep voices.....

probably the "juice" they are drinkinguzzled

just shocked by Li Nauzzled

It was just an excellent effort and a true seizing of the moment by Venus at the 2005 Wimbledon. It was Venus's greatest comeback win ever.. Lindsay played great, Venus wanted the title more.. that's all

[RJD11]

The two-time Rogers Cup champion will face third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, a 7-6 (1), 7-5 winner over fifth-seeded Sara Errani of Italy.

"It's a good matchup," Williams said. "She does everything so well. She's playing better too actually so she's having a much better year. It's going to be an interesting match. It's definitely not going to be easy. I can only hope that I play well and I can only hope that I come out on top."

Aggie will put up some resistance but I don't see how she can beat Serena. She needs to score aces like she did the other day which is unlikely, I give Aggie a 10-15% chance. She is 0-5 against Serena, only taking one set from her during those matches!
Serena is being gracious, Aggie 2012 was much better than Aggie 2013!

First Doubles match finished and Sorana vs. Na will be on at 1:00 pm

Li seems confused like she's not sure that being a successful tennis player means keeping those little balls in between the white lines. Sorana serving for the set at 5-1

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Sorana hands it to Na in the order of 6-1
Second set on the way. Li up a break.

 

[kskate2]

Typical Li. DF's on MP in the 2nd set breaker after she surrendered a 4-1 lead in the TB. Sorana will play for her first premiere title. Congrats for holding her nerve 6-1 7-6

 

[tented]

Very disappointing performance by Li, but congrats to Cirstea for a well-deserved win.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Sorana has surely peaked at the right time, this is the best week of her career, this week Sorana beat #9 Caro(her good friend), #15 Jelena(former #1), #6 Kvitova(former Wimby Champ) and Now #4 Li Na( former FO champ).

But what does she get for it?
Play #1 Shark in the ocean!

 

[honey1269]

$213,000 as a finalist. And a chance to play # 1 in the world.
I would say that is a lot..

Congrats to Sorana, she will need to be on the top of her game to beat either Aga or Serena. I do not believe either will have too many UF errors and "gift" Sorana any games like some of the "head-cases" she has played this week. Petra and Na Li seem almost afraid of winning and do anything in their power to turn a straight-set victory into a tie-break or 3 set loss. Not taking anything away from Sorana, but Aga and Serena will make her earn every point.
