I was so exhausted that I couldn't get up. Finally, at 6:30 I dragged myself up but I don't remember what the score was so I don't know whether it started early. I was so tired I had trouble focusing, anyway. Someone else may be able to tell you if it started earlier than scheduled. I watched each of them, back and forth.<br /><br />I'm hesitant to predict <i>anything</i> about Petra, but she sure has been playing like 2011. As I wrote, I have all this angst about Petra and Simona having to play in the final; I want them both to win!

So when I turned it on at 5am I was surprised to hear that Wimby had started it earlier. I have not seen a match of Halep's all tournament save for about 5 minutes.<br />Sogn and I have our favorites but this is the first time that we can say that we wouldn't mind anyone in the final four of the women's or men's winning it all. There are definitely favorites but...this has been an interesting tournament.<br />I think Halep is the only who has played 3 days in a row. <br />Bouchard got to claim the 1st Canadian Wimbledon quarterfinalist and semifinalist by being just ahead of Raonic in the scheduling.<br />Do you think that because Kvitova can now "smell it" she will not go off the rails? Safarova tends to be ruthless to higher ranked players if that happens.sunny ninenoreply@blogger.com
