Now that Vika is out. Maria should concentrate 1 match at a time. She won the previous meetings against the other 3 players(Wozniacki, Radwanska, Bartoli). But Woz just kicked Serena out, she must be booming with confidence right now, but I got to admit, Serena was rusty against Woz. She kept hitting errors all over the court, and Wozniacki just kept the ball in play.

But it's gonna be different with Maria. Woz needs to bring her A game to beat Maria. And Maria needs to stay aggressive and serve really good for her to finish the match in 2 straight sets.

Whatch another hang over for Wozni, the rabbit!!!. Maria needs to play like yesterday and sharp on her forehand. She CANNOT make excuses for DF!

Agree. She can't afford to give free points against Wozniacki. But against Li Na, she was able to play the match without any Double Fault, which tells me that somehow she served smartly during that match. Well, let's pray that the conditions in her next match would be good.

I am looking out for your match against Wozni, baby.

Let the princess run and more run. Show her how huge the half part of a tennis court is. (Its a good moment to try some dropshots, please try some, you will make succes with it.)

Make her tired and then let your arms swing again as you always do.

Just kill the princess and humiliate her.

Your victory is sooo close, don't ruin it. Good luck!

 Good job against Na Li, great perfomance!

Azarenka lost but she did a wonderfull work this early year. 

We can only congratulate her. I pardon her for this defeat because it is not a victory for a Grand Slam. 

It is Masha's turn to win this tournament. 

I placed a bet on Masha Sharapova. 

That was a great match despite the lost of the first set. Maria came back strong to overpower Caroline. It was just fantastic at the end that Maria kept her concentration and won that last point. That smile will be my new 'wallpaper'. Maria will play her 40st final Saturday. Let's hope she can celebrate this highlight with a win ! I prefer Bartoli and you ??  Ps;  Philli , what did you say about back to back tournaments ??

Fantastic tennisplay. a real combat between the mohicanes. Great play you both.

Play again.

I dont care who will win anymore, Lets just may be the best.

Make your day off wisely...

If Maria takes the title, will she get her no.1 ranking back? Vika will be losing a lot of points.

Anyway. Great win! She played lights out tennis at the start of each set, especially the first. She just let Caro get to her, she held her nerve in the end. That's all that matters! A true fighter. Onwards and upwards, go Bartoli!

Well, good to see Maria playing in the final. But I'm a little worried with her fitness. Azarenka lost because she "said" she was tired. She was playing back to back tournaments. Makes me think Maria played two tournaments in a row too, and she's started showing signs of rustiness in her game. Let's pray that she'll be fit in the final and make it short. :D
