If you're leaning Dementieva...

Dementieva about her thigh after her match against Petrova: "I hope that one day of rest will give me a bit of time to recover and play well the semifinal."

Wozniacki on Schiavone: "She's definitely a difficult player to play against because she plays with a lot of spin. She plays differently. She mixes up the balls a lot. She didn't play typical women's tennis."

Schiavone is one scary looking chick - I'd be scared to bet against her. I think she has a swingin johnson.

My heart say's play the Russian, my head say's no play.

How can I watch the match without action though

I'm the same on both matches. Leaning Demented but her leg is concerning me a little and Schiavone is a monster. Then I was leaning Stosur but when I woke up I thought about it some more and I'm worried the Australian media is messing with my thinking. But how can I watch and not pick a side?

The Russian syndicate has already mandated that she win. Be prepared for shenanigans.

So, it is a lock that Dement will win?

Tennis is the land of no locks. But seriously watch for weirdness in this match. Like perhaps a Schiavone steamroll in the 1st set and then Dementieva getting retarded odds to win in live betting and then working some sort of wicked magic to win. That or Dementieva dominates and the syndicate is busy drinking early.

Elena went from favorite to a dog...beating petrova in 3 on a bum leg is quite a feat

Because she plays/acts/looks like a man? Gotta love Wozniacki if that's what she was implying

And I can't help but think that there's a joke on the "mixes up the balls a lot" comment that i'm missing

Don't know why everyone is so confident with Dementieva. If Petrova wasn't injured, Dementieva probably would be out of tournament now. I don't want to question her skills, but it's Dementiva with perceived 20 double faults per game, facing Schiavone that I didn't see in this form for a long time. I'm on the side of the Italian, but good luck whoever you take.
