Lindsay? lol, wrong side of the draw Chrissiej ;D

Zheng just won in Hobart, both in singles and doubles ... hmm, let's pray she'll be tired ... but even if she reaches the 2nd round...erm Amélie!!! (she hasn't played for a while, and was still suffering a little last week... but i think she had enough time to rest, and will be ok)

bad bad draw for Dinara
Good luck girl, you'll need some!!!!!!!

[SAFINNO1]

i am so p*ssed off about the draw, how can Dina show her true potential if she has to start the AO against Zhenj and Amelie.

[kasey]

It was a worrying match, i went to see her play, she looked a little shaky, called for the doctor, having some troubles with her ankle i think
She got a little upset with the crowd for talking..
It's great that she won! All the best Dina ;D

[MariaV]

Aww, ankle trouble. Anyway, congrats Dinara! A good day for the Safins today!
