And I am so glad. Finally the Russian monotony may be broken. I am so glad that Clijsters won two in a row and now, Henin-Hardinne won a title.

What we needed was some competition against the Russian domination. And this may truly make the rest of the year exciting for women’s tennis. Not that it needed more excitement - the Russians have created good competition among themselves. But this is better for me because I work around some Russians and they do so much trash talking, I had nothing to say.

Now I think I will :-)
