So who CAN'T win the Sony Ericsson Championships?

"Seven of these women could win the title."
Tracy Austin

Good point. I agree. The least likely to win is Kuznetsova.

BTW, she's just lost to Zvonareva in straight sets.

What's even stranger is that Corina Morariu remarked later that "we won't tell Zvonareva that Tracy Austin said she can't win this tournament." Talk about projection! Austin never mentioned a name.

I'm really glad i don't have to listen to those commentators in here, i mean, i could but i prefer the latinamerican ones, they are for the most part respectful and objective (only for women tennis, for the men they tend to overpraise, you guess right, argentinians: just like Serena, they never lose, just didn't play their best ><).

So, Zvonareva couldn't win according to Morariu and maybe Austin? I guess i've been following a different tour, cause she is more likely to advance than a couple of the rest.

In fairness, when she isn't being "cute" or sniping about players' bank accounts--when she is just talking about tennis, I think Morariu may be the best commentator on U.S. television. I like her usual partner, Leif Shiras, a lot, too. To me, they are the best team of commentators we have.

I like Corina Morariu now, she used to get on my nerves a lot. I also like Katrina Adams and Leif Shiras. Notice that ESPN2 had Cliff Drysdale partnered with Pam Shriver for the final, am wondering why they don't use 2 women together in the booth...
