There were six participants from Eastern Europe – Russians Safina, Kuznetsova, Dementieva, Zvonareva; Belarusian Azarenka and Polish Radwanska (before this tournament started, world’s numbers 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10) – not a single one of them made the Final Four! Is there something in Doha air or water that does not agree with Eastern European females? This is very odd.
The semifinalists are – one South-European, one North-European, and of course two American sisters. It looks like Serena is the only one of them who is healthy and can play decent tennis at this point.

i missed this match on tv, so i loved seeing the recap. i like caroline, she impressed me at the uso. she’s tougher than she looks sometimes. i totally call vera, vera dramareva! i’ve seen her do it all… blow 6 match pts, crying, collapsing on court, hitting the knees, towel over her head, angrily removing support tape, but i’ve never seen her actually get bloody on court. the drama never ends with her. when she’s on and calm though, her game is fantastic.

that was unbelievable with vera”drama”rova, who i like, and apparently so does chaos. i was in tears at the end of the match along with caroline. it was painful to watch and thankfully it had a happy ending.

Hi all – this match and yesterday’s against Azarenka have made me into a Wozniacki fan. I was on the fence before – she wasn’t gritty enough for me. Well gee, she’s proven me wrong, hasn’t she? Her play has not only been impressive in Doha, despite injury, her determination and dedication has been downright inspirational. No doubt she deserves a spot in the semis!

The Times U.K. has joined me on the Wozniacki bandwagon. Today’s headline: “Glamour girl Caroline Wozniacki set to join elite – the Dane has grit and glamour of a potential icon”

What do you think of that? I think “icon” may be overdoing it a little.

The Woz has become one of my faves of the up and comers. I had to leave this morning during the match but when I came back and she was standing there in tears, I thought “oh dear, she lost.” Imagine my surprise when they showed the replay of the awful writhing at 30-15 and then the gutting it out for the win. That was awesome. I hope she gets the day off to rest and hydrate.

And in happier/sad news–Venus won a three setter!!! Yay! Just so sad that it had to be against Sveta, whom I also love. But now, since Sveta’s got no chance of moving on to the semi’s I want her to demolish Dementieva so that Venus has a chance to redeem herself. Wishful thinking, I know, but a girl can dream.

I love Caro. I started to like her last year, and my love has exponentially grown! She’s turning into quite the fighter.

SUNSHINE!

When Caro fell over, I did not think she would finish the match! I’m really proud of her, she has fought through 2 really tough matches.
