LA WTA TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP 2005

[alsl]

gosh...kim is ..mary...she's having a good run I guess...what is UP WITH THIS LA CHAMPIONSHIPS?!?!?!

[Annie]

I have no idea....Kim and Lena are in awful shape....tired I suppose...

[SAFINNO1]

Guess nothing is going right for me and my big ol mouth. i think Lena is just too tired as for Kim her exit is shocking, davenport looking solid though.

BTW Annie who you gunning for Nadia or Maria

[Annie]

I prefer Nadia's personality..she is really shy and sweet unlike the other one LOL but winning chances wise...Maria will get to semis I am sure. when they play each other I will support Nadia though

[blue]

Yes, I think Elena and Kim are a bit tired after a long season. I would like Davenport to win after her two final losses at GSs this year.
But I´m also hoping for Maria, I know a lot of pple don´t like her so much, but actually I think she´s pretty nice, and I like her game. Nadia is complaining a bit too much on court, imo

[dawaymarat]

I think Mary Pierce, the old Diva^^, is going to win. She's very good in form. First I didn't like her, but now I think she's nice....
Come on Mary!! Allez Mary!^^

[Annie]

Hopeless day again

Nadia lost to Schnyder 0:6, 7:5, 4:6
Lena lost to Mauresmo 2:6, 3:6

BUT

Maria beat Davenport in 3 sets YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D At least one Russian is doing well

[Annie]

Maria and Mauresmo are in the semis already

STAPLES Center (from 18.30hrs)
1. Mauresmo vs. Pierce
2. Sharapova vs. Petrova (NB 20.00hrs)
3. Clijsters vs. Dementieva

[SAFINNO1]

Sharapova looks good on court.

No comment on Lena, but she has qualified which is an achievement itself.
Mind you who would have thought her most likely victory could come against Kim clijsters.
Sharapova to win in LA

[mara]

maria wo to davemport,lena lost !i don't know about nadia,now i realise..i go check!

[Annie]

Psychology does wonders in this game..Nadia Petrova who has nothing to lose is serving for the match against Sharapova leading 5:2 in the second set having won the first one 6:1

Maria is still in the semis though ;D

Pierce beat Mauresmo 2:6, 6:4, 6:2 what is she on drugs or something??? Jesus that woman is on the roll!!!!!!!!

Nadia won the second set and match ;D

Lena to play Clijsters doesn't matter now anyway

[Annie]

Semifinals OOP

STAPLES Center (from 12.30hrs)
1. Davenport vs. Pierce
2. Sharapova vs. Mauresmo DAVAI MASHA!!! ;D
3. Black/Stubbs vs. Likhovtseva/Zvonareva (NB 16.00hrs) UDACHI LENA AND VERA!!!!!!!!!
4. Martinez/Ruano Pascual vs. Raymond/Stosur

[SAFINNO1]

Kim Clijsters won her final group match when she beat Elena Dementieva 6-2 6-3.

same story this week with Lena.

Sharapova to win in LA

[blue]

Yes, Elena was tired, I think. She paid the price for her late qualification.
I have no idea who will win this. Sharapova played so poor against Petrova, doesn´t have to mean anything, as the match wasn´t important for her. But I also thought, that even against Davenport, she didn´t play well at all. No one of the players is playing his best tennis at the moment, maybe Pierce is playing pretty well. We´ll see

[marats]

Kim Cijsters in an Belgian interview:

i'm tired and glad that the season is over now !!!
she also says: i had a great american summer with many tournament victory's but offcourse the US Open as the most beautiful one !!!!
