Articles please ;)

Vika Azarenka made de surprise of the day defeating second seed Flavia Penneta (6-4 3-6 7-6(15)). Today we can say that Azarenka is the hero of the tennis history!

T: Vika how are you?

Vika: Wow, I don't know what to say. I'm so happy that I can control myself. I giggle all the time and everytime I stop, I thinking about all the match and how
emotional and terrific it was. I could say that at this moment, I'm in heaven!

T: But what do you think that give o strenght to beat Flavia?

Vika: I don't know actually I think that was some hidden spirit inside my body that makes me feel more confidente in the third set, and I saw my favourite actor, Sean Penn, seeing me play. So I've been so excited that I know that I have to do my best for all the persons who believe in me

T:So what about Gisela, you know she has beeing an amazing clay court season this year. Are you confident?

Vika: YESSS, a lot! I think that this win over Penneta gives me the strenght that I need to win a tittle and I will do that! I know will.

T: So thank you so much for this little interview and good luck for your debut against Gisela Dulko

Vika: Thanks you for all

Shades of Zvonareva/Myskina San Diego! Great tiebreak and congrats to Belarus and Italy for playing so well.

I just CAN'T win! :( Well done Gisela.

http://www.wtnphotos.com/data/626/21239267253pascual.jpg

Hey Guys, Let me first say What a day its been I had such a long match, when it was 4-4 I though i was out, But Dementieva commited 3 double faults Convienitly. With My Very consitant/Doubles serve i was able to serve out the second set, i dont know what happened in the first set i wasnt myself, But im happy i won, and im also happy that New Zeland Is out :haha:.

I now take on the USA, who recieved a W/O, So i really dont know waht to exepct I know Ashley is a competitor on clay and is an american who knows her way around Clay Courts. Im not worried not is my team, We are strong and we have had some impressive wins, But we can always get shoked. The other teams that are still in the tournament are strong ones Im Suprised our enemies Lost Italy, What a tie-break But all credit to Azarenka They were against the croud Favourite she knows how to handle Under pressure.

Argentina Wow, Gisela Prooved to strong. They are a team to look out for But i dont know what to exepct in thier semi-final No need to be biast but i think that Argentina will take it in 3 long sets, But Azarenka against Italy prroves very well. Well Till tommorow
