Women's QF today. None of them looks that promising on paper but hopefully they'll be good. Venus is the only one left in the draw I like. Knowing her it'll probably be a tougher match than necessary match but I'm glad she's there at least. Lately my faves are all usually ousted in the early rounds.
It was MUCH tougher. Venus lost in straight sets to Pironkova. Huge surprise. But it opens a door to Zvonoreva, who just beat Clijsters, to reach the finals. I like Vera, she has the talent but very weak mentally. Hopefully, she can do it this time, though I'm not sure anyone can beat Serena at this poit. She looked very intimidating against Sharapova yesterday.
I'm happy for Vera. I like to see new faces advancing. The problem with her is she hasn't had a meltdown in a while and I feel she's due soon. If she could just get that mental aspect of her game together she'd be so much better. She and half the of the WTA tour LOL.
Her meltdowns are the worse of all top players. I was just thinking about that she has been pretty stable lately. But I want to think that she matured and most probably had some psychological help. At almost 26, it's about time for Vera to start fulfiling the potential that we all know she has.
