that'll do it. Great job for Maria claiming this title. She has to be considered a favorite for RG.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Congratulations to Maria....well done.

Though the Madrid trophy has to be the Ugliest Trophy Ever.

 

[tented]

Well done, Maria. Great fight after dropping the first set in such a dramatic manner.

 

[kskate2]

Big lesson for Simona. She was 7-0 in finals and she was 7-0 in 3 set matches this year. Now she has to sit there and feel the sting of not lifting the trophy. Hopefully that sting will inspire her to get better.

 

[tented]

Congratulations to Maria....well done.

Though the Madrid trophy has to be the Ugliest Trophy Ever.

The other day, Justin "Kiss Ass" Gimelstob called it "the most beautiful trophy on the tour."

Dont get me started on Justin G okay

That trophy looks like a New Age Toilet Paper Holder to me....

 

[kskate2]

Golden toilet brush baby.

 

[kskate2]

Oh. Dinara has put on a few pounds since she stopped playing.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Anyway bring on Roma....I think we will get more of a idea there where some of these ladies clay games are at...its a good preparation before RG.

 

[kskate2]

Yeah. Rome should be a better assessment because it's closer to the same conditions as RG.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Dinara has got chubbier in her face.

 

[kskate2]

I see it all over though. Her shoulders, arms, mid-section. It's all fuller

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Indeed....I needed a straight jacket after Dinara lost that RG final to Sveta.

 

[kskate2]

That had to be one of her worst finals. Even in AO against Serena she was a little better.
