Top seed did advance, hopefully to cheer her fans.

There were other happenings, like a marriage proposal!

1) Ignore "her fans" they are nuts ;)

2) Whos that player in the photo getting embarrassed on court? would be nice to see a video of that

Just tuned in. Anyone know why is Simo receiving an MTO and shoulder rubdown?

Because she does everything I tell her and she has a party at Wimby tomorrow. :)
She pulled a muscle or a nerve between the neck and shoulder midway through the 1st set and it didnt go away.
Lets hope she will be ok next week. She always complained that cold weather is not good for her. She is sensitive to cold weather.
The match was easy even if the score doesnt show it, she played exactly 1% better than Beck. No more than that :D

^ That Wimby party is much more important anyway, right? :) Besides, who needs 280 points when she just earned 1200 getting to the RG final?

Hopefully this will help her to understand, top players should not play the week right before a major. You want to peak at the slam and not before and if you pick up a minor problem, you have a week or so to sort it out.

She was committed because she won it last year, and it was easier than Eastbourne. She wanted some practice on grass. A last 16 in Wimby will be enough to be honest, but she will probably declare war in London. I know her type ;) Halep cant help but fight in Wimby, its in her blood and it rhymes

Highest seed left is #8 Klara, with all the top seeds gone, this event is starting to look more and more like a 280 pointer.

Good win from Svitolina over Flipkens....who can play on grass.

A worry with these player's retiring with injuries so close to a Grand Slam.

Stop it Sherona. It's cruel to celebrate someone's injury. I don't want to hear a peep out of you if Sharapova encounters another injury during her career.

People, please do me a favor and do not quote that creature who "likes" Simona so much.
You know how to use the " /\ " sign when you are too lazy too quote.
If not, I will have to also put the people who quote in my ignore list ;)

I had to practice my eyes before reading the post above to avoid reading the quote, and I have succeeded. :)
I am sure you are not quoting in purpose to annoy me, please just type that /\ sign in this case.

Thanks :)

Krajicek's family must be very relieved at her engagement to a man. They were distraught over her public relationship with her girlfriend.
