It was Elena Dementieva (No. 1 seed) vs. Caroline Wozniacki and Marion Bartoli vs. Sabine Lisicki in Saturday’s semi finals at the Family Circle Cup in Charleston. Youth won out, with the 18-year-old Wozniacki and 19-year-old Lisicki making it to the final. It should be a good one. Sabine’s impressed me this week – I [...]

I don’t know if I want to laugh or cry! Especially when the tagline shows up at the end. . .Got that, Roger? It’s all about CONFIDENCE. Yikes.
Roger Federer lost in straight sets to Stan Wawrinka (4-6, 5-7) today in heavy, wet conditions. Roger’s forehand was crap: 22 of his 31 unforced errors came off that side. And he only got 51% of his first serves in. As Swiss daily, Blick, said in its headline: “Stan schickt Roger in die Flitterwochen!” Don’t [...]
