Journal molnarcs's Journal: Tennis (WTA tour, Zurich)
Golovin ranks 29, while Ivanovic ranked 500+ at the beginning of the year. She was #152 before this match. I wonder how many ranks she gained by her win. Because she did it in an awesome game. In the first set she beat Golovin to 7:5, in the second set she was beaten to 6:7 (which means that to this point, it was a pretty tight match). Than in the 3rd set, Golovin was leading with 5 to 1! And this 16 year old girl had a presence of mind like no other! Imagine coming back from 1:5 to 6:6, and in the shortened game (or whatever it is called in english) beating Golovin to 7:3! I really felt pity for her (she is also 16). And this unknown girl is going to play Venus Williams tomorrow (that is today)
I think V. Williams will waste her completely (she is as strong as a man). I would really love to see a Dementieva vs Williams final. That should be interesting. V.W is much much stronger (than anyone in women's tennis I think, save her sister), but Dementieva is so fast - she is one of the fastest players, hence her game is always spectacular: she can reach balls that everyone would think is beyond reach. That is one of the reasons she is my favorite. She is also cute, and she is a very nice person.
ps. I wouldn't be a slashdotter if I didn't notice that tennisrulz.org runs on FreeBSD
