Its actually Olga Govortsova and Tatiana Poutchek goind to the finals.
Do you remember something Kimiko Date said... i dont know, about half a year ago or so: that she had to start winning those first round matches. Im really happy to see her in a WTA doubles final, but im desperate too to see her winning one of those 3 set matches she's been giving away everywhere in singles.
Is she and Sun TianTian win (and i think they will) this doubles, i hope it boost her confidance again.
Oops...so it is. Thanks for the catch, Roi.
I do recall Kimiko saying that. I wish she could do better in singles, too. It must be disheartening sometimes--cleaning up in all those small Asian tournaments, and then losing so many of those 3-setters.
