Oh my.

Sveta looks in disbelief.

Good for Sveta. She really came through.

Group hug for Dinara. :h:

Sveta sounds like she was loving to Safina though. She fought for this title and I'm impressed.

I bet Dinara won't cry like Fed. Yeah, I said it.

Sveta was great at the net with Dinara.

Yeah, something tell me Dinara won't be bawling, "this is killing me!" I just hope Dinara keeps plugging away and relaxes a little. She will win one of these, soon.

She'll get her Slam. I'm sure of it. Dinara's day isn't done.

Here comes Steffi to present the trophy. She hasn't aged a day- marriage to Andre and being a mother totally agrees with her.

Oh, a Fed mention. "We've seen Roger go through this a few times..." Whatever.

See, that wasn't even necessary to bring Fed into it. Shut up! I am SO not listening tomorrow.

Dinara's sad, but not in floods up there. She looks like she's biting her lip to keep the tears at bay.

And just so you know, Ted Robinson, every time we've seen Rog go through it, he's cried like a baby. Dinara's getting through it just fine so far.

Dinara's coach gives her a smile as she thanks him.

Dinara's a quality gal. They both are.

Some nice words from Sveta for Dinara. Very classy.

Now I'm going to have Barry White songs floating around in my head all day long!

Great job, Sveta!

Alright...TV is going off now. I know the preview of tomorrow's match is coming.

I gotta get to the gym. My plan for tomorrow is to get in a workout at the beginning of the match because I have a christening to go to tomorrow afternoon. But I'll be around after that (probably after 10:00am) if you want to snark on King Fed with me. If not, I totally understand, and it's been a great fortnight. Next stop Wimby!

This is huge for Sveta. Now maybe people will give her some respect. She was in Sharapova's shadow for so long.

And not 1 Fed mention on the radio end of things. Awesome.

I'll definitely be around and can poke my head in to give you some moral support. The snark must be loud and strong from our end.

Two words for this: OH and NOOOOOO!! Hopefully having next week off will help. There's also talk that Rafa's going through some personal issues that may be causing him stress, hence the need for some R&R.

I've been hearing the personal issues thing for a minute I'm not sure I buy it because he's been playing really well still, relatively speaking. But what do I know. They were just talking about it on FOR. The conclusion was that maybe it's better for him to skip Wimby so he doesn't do more damage as well as focus on the hard court season.

By the way, they've been excellent on the coverage so far on FOR. No Fed butt-kissing and pretty even-handed, fair commentary on both guys.

Oh and I can only catch the match up until 11. Then it's off to see Trent!

Hey...I finally made it. After the gym, I had to run some errands.

It took all of one minute for me to go from the TV to my IPod at the gym. That first set was atrocious, but it looks like Soderling has come back slightly.

Oh, and I still say that Laver is the best ever.

I wouldn't mind seeing Rafa skip Wimby to get ready for hardcourt summer. Apparently Mama and Papa Nadal are divorcing, and Rafa may feel like hanging close to home for the next little while.
