Her game's improved but not well enough to beat top players. Curse that off-season training! I so wanted her to win RG this year. That said, Jelena, you're welcome to make me eat my words any time. Adje! I’m a JJ fan and I think her reaching the semis will be nothing short of a miracle. Her game’s improved but not well enough to beat top players. Curse that off-season training! I so wanted her to win RG this year.

That said, Jelena, you’re welcome to make me eat my words any time. Adje!

Then she could be facing Nicole Vaidišová in the second round, Flavia Pennetta in the fourth round, Svetlana Kuznetsova in the quarter-finals, and any of several great players in the semi-finals. Her chances of becoming Champion with a 4-match losing-streak, a knee-injury and a very tough draw? Approximately zero.

As for Serena, she normally is extremely vague about the extent of her injuries, so we likely won't know until her first match about the condition of her knee. Hopefully, it has recovered since Madrid. Thanks for your comment and for following us on Twitter!

I think it's a couragous call to Pick Serena. She's got something to prove, that's for sure. The leg, though, the leg - could it be worse than we think? And I'm still laughing at that "cow on ice" quote. I've certainly never thought of Masha as bovine - perhaps a figure skater though...
