Ok, I know. It was said repeatedly during RG. But seriously, can we get a little golf clap for what Masha is doing? This is getting a bit ridiculous. She finished off Alexa Glatch with no problem and then turned around and beat Tranny, and we all know Tranny is no slouch. All this while coming off a deep run at RG and barely having a week off to transition from clay to grass.
Seriously. You have to appreciate what she's doing here.
The other feel good story? How about Sania's run so far? She takes out AKO and now Pavs. If I didn't think you were so awesome I'd kinda hate you right now, Sania.
But can I pour one out for my fallen homies? Top seeded Jay Z and third seed Can-Woz fall in some tight matches.
I'd love to see a Pova/Nails semifinal. And Pova/Sania or Nails/Sania final would give me warm fuzzies going into Wimbly.
