I have never understood how to pronounce Radwanska’s name…

Hi Carrie! I agree – that match had me on my feet and cheering! Love it when that happens. . .

Glad to see Oudin’s positive attitude. I can tell she believes in herself and won’t mind what (PMSing) J.J. said.

Her press conferences and on-court dramatics reveal a pretty burnt out woman. Remember how a couple years back she lost something like 10 matches in a row and considered dropping out of the game? I feel like she’s reached that point again and is trying to decide if her past success was some crazy fluke or something she can maintain.

There’s just something off about her. . .which is too bad. I really like J.J.’s wild attitude and her game (when it’s on.) She’s a great star, too.

Yeah, I thought she seemed well-adjusted, too. She is really enjoying herself – she also seems to really like playing tennis! Which sounds weird, but many young pros treat it like the daily grind.

Wishing her luck and fun, too!

That was one of my favorite matches of the tournament so far. No weapons? Psht. Even Masha manages to be more gracious than that after a defeat! That’s some major PMS talking right there. Maybe that’s what she meant by “woman problems”?

I love how much variety Oudin showed out there. She didn’t just outplay JJ, she out-thought her, too. I’m definitely looking forward to her match v. Radwanska.

I don’t get it. What was wrong with JJ? And what has been wrong with her game? She has seemed to lose all her self confidence she had last year.

I saw Melanie interviewed on NBC. Talk about an unaffected kid. I loved her, especially when she went all star-struck because Venus had talked to her.

I wish her luck, and fun.
