Ana gets early shift, Serena gets the last shift.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Mayhem on court 13. NYPD will arrest Sorana Cirstea for violent ball hitting that puts the public in danger :snigger best show in town

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

18 ladies are out there warming up to start the first 9 matches.
Sorana and Heather are gracing court 13 as promised.

Let the second day begin.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Kristina will give some minor trouble to Kvitova today

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Sorana won the first set 6-1
Mona did the same, so did Samantha.

 

[Front242]

Stosur just swiped her sweaty wrist band on her face before shaking the umpire's hand lol. Classy.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Sorana won the first set 6-1

1) Good job in closing that thread. At least someone kept his cool (you).

2) Sorana is insane but she is not mean

Sad that Ana has to play Serena. She is a joy to watch. Am I needlessly worrying about Serena vs Townsend? All court players can trouble Serena more than baseliners.

Nothing against the opponent, but I am rooting for Petra big time.

I still doubt Petra. Somehow I know that she will flop, its a matter of when.
For me, if Simo doesnt win then I want Caro to win because it will be a huge story and good for tennis!
First slam not just former no.1, and after the Rori story she comes back, and its just a great story overall.
Serena win is just boring its nothing against her, I just want excitement

I approve your message

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Kuznetsova serving for the match ahead 5-4 in the deciding set, got broken.
Svetlana got two break points next game but Marina held strong, pushed it to deuce and won the game.
Sveta to serve next in order to stay in the match.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Cant believe Sorana demolished Heather 6-1 6-1
Sorana is so crazy, even she doesnt have a clue whats going on with her Its like the weather

 

[kskate2]

Sveta, Kuzzy, whatever you want to call her is in trouble. Now in a final set breaker and down a mini 2-1

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

I did away with Kuzy, fashionsta told me Svetlana doesn't like that.

Marina leads tie-breaker 4-2

 

[kskate2]

5-3

 

[tenisplayrla08]

3 match points for Erakovic. This is so sad. Always a fan of Kuznetsova. I hate to see this.

 

[kskate2]

I know. I was in D.C. and saw her play at the Citi Open. And she's gone in the 1st round

 

[tenisplayrla08]

NO! Ugh. A double fault to give it away. Oy. Kuznetsova's inconsistency just letting her down. Shouldn't have disappeared in the second set. And should have served it out at 5-4 or 5-3. Whatever it was.
