I'm not sure Tommy - just woke up from a nap with my son so haven't seen her yet. Literally turned the tv on about a minute ago. I hope she doesn't though. Didn't make the same mistake twice -took Pironkova on the ML.

And thank you everyone for your good luck wishes! Best of luck to you too

I think they are, especially Kvitova who has blown me away so far, but obviously I've been wrong before.

Zvonareva won't get much love because she's 0-4 lifetime against Kimmy but they haven't played since '06 so you can't really put a lot of weight on that. Plus Kimmy showed in the first set yesterday with Henin that she's still prone to fits of nerves which lead her to silly unforced errors as she admitted after the match. Zvonareva's tough when her head's screwed on straight - her great returns will be able to handle Kimmy's hard hitting and she plays a lot of slices which could cause damage as well but her serve % hasn't been the best lately which Clijsters will kill her on with her own strong returns if she gives her the chance. There's definitely a lot of value with Zvonareva at the price and that's how I like to bet in tennis.

okay thanks shari. i already took russian now im gonna take the other russian( i think she is russian)

Kvitova's Czech - close enough for me.

Nice to see Zvonareva win the 2nd set. Hope she pulls through for you!

Tommy_de1st · 06-29-10, 08:34 AM

I think Venus is done and goin home (actually going to the stands and rooting for her sister)

I hope you're right! Fingers crossed Pironkova doesn't choke it away.

How awesome was that?? I let out a squeal for you when she got that final point! Two nice dogs won already - time for the favourite Kvitova to get it done.

lakerboy · 06-29-10, 09:15 AM

Shari is NA LI going to beat williams?

Tommy_de1st · 06-29-10, 09:20 AM

Na Li has powerfull shot but im not sure if its enough for Serena

Sorry, just saw this now. I have a little on the ML because I took her with points but Serena's continuing to serve like a beast. It'll be difficult to do it but not impossible at all.

bobbyhazell · 06-29-10, 10:00 AM

Congrats on your two dog hits Shari

Sorry I missed them

bobbyhazell · 06-29-10, 10:15 AM

Williams over cashes already

Now hopefully Li can hang tough so we can get that handicap.

shari91 · 06-29-10, 10:28 AM

Well, she just double-faulted to lose another game so unless a miracle happens the handicap bet is gone.

shari91 · 06-29-10, 10:37 AM

Ok, well that one's gone. Now to focus on Kvitova who just won the 2nd set tiebreak.

Regul8er · 06-29-10, 10:55 AM

HUGE 2nd Set win for Kvitova......now take it home. Kanepi has to be exhausted.

wrongturn · 06-29-10, 11:16 AM

thought kvitova was a loss when down 0-4 in 3rd set. wow!

I know! I had basically written that one off as a loss.

Don't come all this way just to screw it up now Kvitova!!

wrongturn · 06-29-10, 11:19 AM

kanepi starts to make errors. good sign

wrongturn · 06-29-10, 11:26 AM

kvitova always plays like dig a hole, climb....

rumple · 06-29-10, 11:30 AM

What a wrong side winner for ktinova backers.

As Kvitova herself said in an interview before this match, you can more than likely count on Kanepi having a mental meltdown. Kvitova was just lucky to be playing well enough to capitalise on it this time.
