If she can come out like she did last night against Serena - or even better, like she did in the third set, with that fierce focus that had my jaw dropping (ok, I was drooling) - and stay in that mindset for the whole match... it'll be straight sets. Amelie has definitely turned a corner, and it's a beautiful thing to see her dig deep and have that belief in herself. That final point last night against Serena was gorgeous. *drool* And when they replayed it a few minutes ago - she knew as soon as she hit it that it was the winner - her whole face lit up in a grin, and then she went bouncing all over the court. YES! But, yes, she needs to brush up on her serve!! LOL. Has anyone noticed she's been trying out a much more aggressive return, too? I'm thinking that's intended for Davenport, should they meet again.... I think we have to have faith - in Loic as well as Amelie. They make a pretty good team, n'est-ce pas?! ALLEZ AMELIE!!! LOL, well said, Momofan!

I'm hoping and praying but she will have to play very well to defeat Dinara because Dinara has had a great summer and will not tire out like Serena did. Plus, Dinara beat Amelie once on carpet (Paris 2005) But I have complete faith in my girl and I'm sure she has EVEN MORE now that she's finally gotten that second win over Serena. ALLEZ AMELIE! (GET YOUR SERVE BACK WOMAN) I hope Tatiana can finish what she started in Miami. That match is too painful to relive. Now now Nexty, let’s not jinx our dear Amelie.
