oh no...poor vera...

i would say poor ana too but not that shocked as it was kleybanova afterall.

**Scott** · 27-05-2010

close call for lena....glad she was able to dominate the tie-break.

Chaky · 27-05-2010

Vera, what happened?

And Fognini finally finished off Monfils. Justice done, perhaps?

Nonobstant · 28-05-2010

Talking of Fognini, bb Stan is playing him in 3 quarters of an hour!!

I have no idea if Fognini played great or if Monfils was just in a bad day...
But he shouldn't threaten Stan...

GO STAN!!
I wanna see some backhand action too

**Scott** · 28-05-2010

^well monfils has been injured of late and it most likely is a contributor in his poor play.

a nice looking match today between petrova and rezai....anybody want to predict this? petrova has a nice history at RG and is a good clay courter and rezai is very confident. i wonder if experience might prevail? personally,as much as i like rezai,i'd love to see a resurgent petrova again.

Nonobstant · 28-05-2010

Ok, Stan won easily...but guess who is his next adversary? Roger how-do-you-want-to-beat-him Federer. enough said.

That's definitely a close one. Still can't predict the winner.
Kuzi and Elena are having troubles, I really hope Elena goes through.

Some good matches earlier, I'm glad Čilić managed to go through in the end, and Ljubičić too.

**Scott** · 28-05-2010

^lena and sveta are struggling at the moment indeed. i am hoping they both can fight through it...lena just broke back for 3/4 so maybe.

miu_miu · 28-05-2010

All these final set breaks for Elena, I keep my fingers crossed!
Happy for Rafa's win and Cilic too, though it was tight at the end - Soderling next. Did anyone see Djokovic match? I didn't but the livescore showed the match was closer than the final scoreline suggested & apparently his allergies were a problem again. Oh! And a bagel each for Murray and Verdasco?!

**Scott** · 28-05-2010

thank heavens!!!!

and she cried too...i wish i could hug her.

i really hope this will give her more confidence having gone through such an arduous match.

wow-this petrova vs. rezai match is good!

miu_miu · 28-05-2010

^aw!

i'm so relieved...even though i've watched many matches like this, that feeling never changes when you really really want one person to win.

**Scott** · 28-05-2010

^completely agree. and lena has had such a frustrating last few weeks it's nice to see her fight through a match like this especially in a major. i think a match like this could make her even more mentally tough in her next rounds.

can't really say that for poor sveta though. tough first round with match points against her and everything it's too bad she couldn't get a foothold on anything today.

anxiety galore with petrova and rezai....egads those last few points were tense. you know looking at the h2h between venus(who will be the next opponent for rezai or petrova)and nadia i kind of hope rezai may get through now. petrova does not have any wins against venus at all and only took one set from her,and rezai just beat venus in madrid on clay too. rezai is so fearless. and those last few points showed how tense nadia can get.

Chaky · 28-05-2010

Aww, Lena was so sweet when she dropped to her knees at the end of that match. And every time I see a shot of her mother I feel really bad for her because she's been put through the wringer.

Tomorrow's line-up on Chatrier looks very good I must say. Particularly excited for Hewitt vs Nadal and Henin vs Sharapova.

^Makes me think of Youzhny's coach, he's so expressive in the stands, poor man!

**Scott** · 30-05-2010

so happy lena got an easier match today! and you know what she's looking good. her draw has opened up considerably well now that petrova beat venus. if she can get through nadia and her next round against either pennetta or wozniacki,we could finally see her in another final again. she definitely has a tremendous opportunity and i truly hope that she can take it. i would love to see lena lift up this trophy.
