yeah... Not good to be right behind them. LOL

wooot C-Note and The Double Bagel. You managed to find them. Seen them a few weeks ago, I tracked them down on Sashie's forum. LOL

And I for instance do not get her why she insists on Darren. Back in 2009 she had limited success while working with him. She actually has no feedback of how he suts her.

lol well, I must jump in... As a former/still/new Masha fan... I must say I do not want Maria to face her. I really want Maria to do well in Wimby... I hope I won't end disappointed. RG was great well until that windy day... and a SF in your worst surface after such a long time is awsome... Why I do not want ReRe Masha - well I do not know in what form Serena is now.. but anyway.... maybe I should wait before I speak. However I do not like Serena's attitude towards Masha. Not that Masha cannot defend herself ;).

My point exactly. lol I won't be surprised if that happens.

she seems to do that often... I guess Henin's school works LOL

Dominika surely made some very very bad moves. First the celebration... but ok, she was happy etc. etc. She also played very well, so let's give her a pass there. Then she was very tactless on twitter - ok, let's forgive her the first tweet (I resent that tweet the most to be honest), but why did she keep provoking and provoking? Anyway I do wanna say that the reactions of some Ana fans were afwul and I didn't agree with people attacking her, her career and her love life... I asked my followers kindly to stay classy.

I still have no words, because I do not know how to express what I feel. I feel empty and guilty at the same time; guilty for hoping... Right there at the first match point I was sooo thrilled, so proud so... what? So guilty for letting the thinking I have been putting away for 3 years to sink again in my mind - for letting belief that yes, she can finally do it - in..And damn I got burnt. And badly. Sometimes it gives me the thought that some force really hates Ana and doesn't let her have success. Not that I believe that tennis Gods exist. I just get that kind of impression sometimes... And this hurts now way more than the previous matches I was mentioninig to hurt me (AO 09 Kleybanova and IW 11 Bartoli)... Only because I had never expected such a performance and because she was so close... So bloody close - 1 point ( 1 winner or 1 UE from Kim...)... but no... That was not to be done... I won't analyze whose "fault" it was... Kim's or Ana's... I wasn't there, I didn't see. I know Kim is a very smart fox who does know how to play all the younger players and can adapt her game (form plan A to Z) when she wants. When she wants she is brutal. Literrally brutal. Being a nice person that she is she maybe doesn't realize that but her game can kill - players and fans. Especially since her comeback... OK, maybe the quality of WTA is not that big and that is why she has such great success, but that is not the point of my writing now... Ana choked? Yes, probably she did... Especially after 5:3, but very few wouldn't. I know dozens of you will come up now analyzing her mental state (over and over again the same thing) and giving examples of mentally strong players and so on... I don't care. I think she is who she is and she cannot change that easily... No matter of what we or other outsiders suggest. I would love to see Ana recover from this soon and hope it will motivate her... But I will leave all the cards open and keep the HOPE of amazing results where it was before - wrapped deep in the back of my mind. Ajde Anci, good luck!

Probably not. Ana was supposed to play yesterday and I think she seldom goes to other matches if she has to play.

Incredible! Amazing! I love her reactions. Thanks for this. I love these two. LOL

Amazing, priceless... LOL Ana is funny when she gets to the umpires. She never wins the battle with them though... But she shows her stubborness.

awwwwwwww... LOL What is she taking notes of? :D

??? why so many comments??! I don't get it. It is a blog, C Note's blog. She decides what is important to her and who and what she is going to write about and in what order. It is not CNN or BBC. It is a personal view of a tennis follower. I am a reader, I read the blog because in general I like her style of writing and we have a few favourite players in common. She also likes some players that I don't, so I don't put my heart into it and write commentaries in the entries of players that I don't fancy or in the entries that I do not agree with her views on the thing.. I am noone to force her to act or think differently, just like I don't let other people influence me.

yes, it does... sound forced.. especially when Sven brings it up your nose every day on facebook in the past and now on twitter...

No, I do not think that is really a problem. It is a phrase that I often use, without its "serious" meaning. And I really do not care why Bunny ranch or anyone ofr that matter started calling Wozzie Sunshine... Afterall she is sunny for them - she brings them results and glory and money. LOL But I do know that a lot of players have nicknames that their coaches use.

he applauded a DF? or Caro's break? LOL

Ana? nothing, that's the problem. If they called her in any way we would have known that. Now it is not just Mats calling Woz like that, so is Darren and probably Gil and all of them who have worked with her and some journalists too.

Leather is on my mind now. ANA, don't u dare lose to Mono!

I like how the pic captured the colour of her eyes...

The las pic is more than great. Keep up the good work. Who took it? Steph?

I apologize. You took way too serious my comment. I was trying to joke that there is something going on between them, won't do that in the future. I know everything Ana did, yes. And I was never implying that he is the puppy who follows her. Moreover I was joking that Ana was the wanna be WAG at the AO. But it was all meant as a joke. I know they are good friends and I am actually glad and happy for them, because nowadays you rarely see true friends who stay together since childhood.

I don't buy we are just friends theory anymore. They were friends in the past too and he wasn't hanging around her so much. Novak I mean.

ahahaha, I noticed Lleyton too. That ain't nice, Lleyton, mate... Stop lurking.
