Don't go big on the fav's in the wta.

She got outplayed and the other Maria is possibly even better looking too...

[EaglesPhan36]

Don't bet on Russians ... period. If you do, you damn well don't lay chalk in tennis on them. Her game is a mess and I said it in another thread, she screwed herself by not playing any matches before coming here.

[Boner_18]

She is in denial about playing warm-up tourneys too. In the press conference they asked her why she didn't play Brisbane or Sydney, she replied "I never have before... What does playing in a warm-up have to do with missing your serve down 30-40 in the third set?"

Everything Maria, it's called match practice.

[RobbReport]

didn't take her today. i wanted her to edge it out today so i could fade her later.

[Fthenorm]

big surprise indeed, first time she's ever gone out in the first round of a slam in nearly 30 attempts

[Tom Jane]

Kirilenko has been a headcase in her career too. You can tell she's got tonnes of talent and that got her up to the top 20 in the world at one point. She just can't pull together multiple tournaments. Women's tennis is like that though at least lately: Sharapova, Ivanovic, Jankovic, Safina, Hingis, and even the Williams sisters at times. Maybe Henin and Clijsters can bring some Graf-esque consistency back to the women's game to make some sure bets!

Makiri has been a girl I've been rooting for though. Maybe she can make it in this one.

[hedgejob]

Lucky Maria signed those sponsorship deals last week before this performance.

[RobbReport]

I bet nike isn't too happy. ****in WTA, nobody can hold serve.

[fresnosurf]

Wow Pova has really fallen off lately. I am pulling for Henin to come through and beat Serena.

[pico]

women's tennis is like pre-season games. you never know what you'll get

[jjgold]

I thought Sharp was going to do better than this

She is too rich

dokic kleybanova game is still on
the same matchup happened last year in the quarterfinals when dokic had her huge aussie open run ,
it was one of the best wta matches i have ever seen, hopefully dokic is able to win the 2nd set today

[tonyhomo]

i'm glad sharpavo lost against kirilenko,
she looks much better and doesn't moan like a whore

fukk game set match kleybanova

[RobbReport]

Sharapova signed a new contract with Nike last week worth 70 Mil. and she's been sucking. Her agent is good.

[stevek173]

Yah - I saw that press conference bit too - funny quote.

[Tsonga]

I guess people here agree that the better looking Maria won yesterday.

[Chateaugay]

love kirilenko!

[The Seer]

Don't bet on Russians ...

that's racist, this should go to the private zone and EaglesPhan should be bannes for 3 months

[Tom Jane]

Yeah, Makiri definitely is a pretty girl. But she looks too much like a socio I dated back in high school. It was over a decade ago, but my mom even called me up during the match and said "doesn't this girl look like your hs girlfriend?" Ugh, kind of difficult to not imagine that psychotic girl.

That said, Makiri seems like a darling girl and has a great personality to go along with looks. She has talent too, I've always wanted to see her pull it all together and have consistently been rooting for her for years.

[revnecro1273]

never knew that russian was a race...always thought it was a nationality

[EaglesPhan36]

It can't be racist or nationalist if it's true.

[revnecro1273]

It can't be racist or nationalist if it's true.

did you see davydenko today...dude was just on cruise control through the first 2 sets and then lost the next 3 games only to win the next 6...just don't understand this guy sometimes

[hoopster42]

where's daggerkobe to cry about sharapova losing?

[The General]

I feel sorry for her as a person because it seems she is a statue and has to do everything like a pro and doesn't have time to really enjoy life as it is without tennis. She seems like a robot a lot, IMO.
