Melanie Bouchard! The first Canadian woman to make it to the
semifinal of a grand slam. As predicted,
Bouchard lost the first set and won the next two to oust Ana Ivanovic. In the on-court interview she was asked who
she would like to date and she said..hold your breath, Justine Bieber. I hope it was said in humour though, I wouldn’t
want any teenage girl to date him forget being in the same newsprint
space! Bouchard showed her mettle in the
quarter finals. She now battles Na Li
whom she played three years ago in Montreal and lost of course. She says she has a bit more experience and
she is ready for the match. Watch out Li.
I also said in my last blog that Na LI will lose to Flavia
Penetta but she won and how- 6-2, 6-2.
So now you know, you cannot blog about a match and predict the outcome
without getting a handle on how the player is faring currently. And yet I believe that Bouchard will win
against Na Li in two sets.
In the other QFs Cibulkova will play Simona Halep and
Azarenka will play Radwanska. Its Halep
V/s Azarenka semifinal. This is unless Azarenka can control that imploding
anger and play her power game without getting trapped into playing Radwanska at
her own game and pace. Radwanska is no
match against the brute power of Azarenka.
The alternative scenario is, Azarenka will lose her cool, commit
unforced errors while Radwanska will lie in the wait quietly. Azarenka will be turn blind in fury at her
own ineptitude and will abandon her style of play and tactics. Then it will of course be a walkover for
Agnieszaka Radwanska.
If everything goes as I say, it will be Bouchard V/s Na Li
final!
