I don't know what happened this week but I have completely turned on Lena. I started the week calling her the Kolya of the WTA, a player who sneaks through, who I don't mind, and who I generally don't root against or for. They're just there. But now? I'm so over it. Her matches are hell to watch/follow and I don't even like her game that much. So yeah, you won. Feh.
You know what my problem with her is? She wins but it's never convincing. Very rarely do I ever say "wow, Elena was just the better player today." Her game just reeks of "whoa, you escaped one there" or the other player choked (which is saying something). But I very rarely think she wins because she simply took the match.
But we do have a potentially interesting set of matches for the weekend. We'll get a rematch tomorrow of the Wimbledon semi between Serena and Elena, and then a possible USO 08 final rematch between Serena and JJ. And to be honest, I'm pretty stoked for that.
So yeah, don't be stupid ladies. Bring your game and duke it out.
