Caught Sharapova today against “red hot Mirza”. She was something to behold. Guess we’ve all been to quick to write her off after her triple Williams ordeal. She’s going to be hard to beat in this tournament, I’d say.

sharapova has been playing suningly well but tomorrow ahe will want anna chakvetadze of russia to win because if she doesnt she has to overcome venus williams who is on a run at the moment cause as we all remember venus williams beat maria sharapova in the semifinal at the wimbledon championships but it was raining today then not much to say today but there was only 4 matches concluded but they were only 3 quarterfinals and 2 doubles quater finals then very exciting who will be playing maria sharapova who will it be venus williams i think also could be eyeing for a fourth title at the acura classic in san diego or will it be riseing star anna chakvetadze of russia.

Chakvetadze beats Williams – and this is the Williams response (quoted from Eurosport):”Williams said she was exhausted after a long 2007 campaign that included a packed schedule since she arrived at Wimbledon in June, playing Fed Cup three weeks ago and then two straight weeks of World TeamTennis before San Diego.

“I’m at the end of my rope now,” Williams said.

“I’m very disappointed. I thought I had a great chance not to lose a match this summer, but I should have planned my schedule better. I’m feeling maxed out.”

Good old Williams. Nothing ever changes. Who was that she was playing again? Well, it doesn’t matter, does it? It had nothing to do with her, did it……

There’s nothing worse than hindsight analysis, but I’ll lower myself to that level anyway with this comment:

Sean, dude, you had to be kidding with the Lee over Roddick prediction, or almost prediction. Have you been spending too much time reading X-board posts?

funches, it looks like Sean’s right about the prediction. Lee reached 4th rnd.
