Yes ma'am, she did make her work..it was one of the best matches I have seen this year..the young female Greek does not want to see Irina across the net anytime soon, especially in a GS.

I saw some of the early bits, then the end of that, but yes, some tough looking score line.

Like her countryman, they don't want easy wins! They have to make it tough for them and their fans! At least she fought harder than Stefanos!

Funny that Tennis Ch. show only went back to '89 to highlight winning streaks indoors! Graf, of course leads the way, but skipping era when carpet was king on the Ladies Tour, Martina probably put it out of sight; esp. in '84 never dropping a match between Jan. and Dec. "down under!"

That was some ceremony for the trophy! Iva Majoli made an appearance & works inside the tennis assoc. I guess! She upset Hingis at FO in '97!

Well you should know by now I am not a Hingis fan....apparently the players love the St.Petersburg tournament,it is a favorite on their tour.

I guess I'm being too political! I'd punish Russia as they have with China for being oppressive in their dealings with people & other countries!

It is best to leave politics out of sport if you can.I understand your view point with both countries.

Greek Goddess is a headcase. Has been for awhile. She did the same thing at RG. Actually served for the match twice in the decider and didn't win another game against Babs in that SF.
