She got outplayed and the other Maria is possibly even better looking too...

Don't bet on Russians ... period. If you do, you damn well don't lay chalk in tennis on them. Her game is a mess and I said it in another thread, she screwed herself by not playing any matches before coming here.

She is in denial about playing warm-up tourneys too. In the press conference they asked her why she didn't play Brisbane or Sydney, she replied "I never have before... What does playing in a warm-up have to do with missing your serve down 30-40 in the third set?"
Everything Maria, it's called match practice.

big surprise indeed, first time she's ever gone out in the first round of a slam in nearly 30 attempts

Kirilenko has been a headcase in her career too. You can tell she's got tonnes of talent and that got her up to the top 20 in the world at one point. She just can't pull together multiple tournaments. Women's tennis is like that though at least lately: Sharapova, Ivanovic, Jankovic, Safina, Hingis, and even the Williams sisters at times. Maybe Henin and Clijsters can bring some Graf-esque consistency back to the women's game to make some sure bets!
Makiri has been a girl I've been rooting for though. Maybe she can make it in this one.

Wow Pova has really fallen off lately. I am pulling for Henin to come through and beat Serena.

Sharapova signed a new contract with Nike last week worth 70 Mil. and she's been sucking. Her agent is good.

Yeah, Makiri definitely is a pretty girl. But she looks too much like a socio I dated back in high school. It was over a decade ago, but my mom even called me up during the match and said "doesn't this girl look like your hs girlfriend?" Ugh, kind of difficult to not imagine that psychotic girl.
That said, Makiri seems like a darling girl and has a great personality to go along with looks. She has talent too, I've always wanted to see her pull it all together and have consistently been rooting for her for years.

I feel sorry for her as a person because it seems she is a statue and has to do everything like a pro and doesn't have time to really enjoy life as it is without tennis. She seems like a robot a lot, IMO.
