As good as Dinara is, I think Serena has her beat in almost all departments. And Safina's serve is so wobbly at times.<BR/><BR/>Still, they gotta play the match! I never thought Verdasco could take Rafa to five, either.freakyfriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849509797502704715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2592023703315255188.post-29291134621163323092009-01-30T08:19:00.000-08:002009-01-30T08:19:00.000-08:00Go Dinara!I think she has a great chance because s...Go Dinara!<BR/><BR/>I think she has a great chance because she's going in as the underdog. When you're a head case anyway that helps a lot, there's nothing to "protect" so it takes off the pressure. <BR/><BR/>I hope her serve stands up.yogahzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13437955751421136051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2592023703315255188.post-12430289458492674212009-01-29T22:09:00.000-08:002009-01-29T22:09:00.000-08:00I liked that Dinara was aggressive.

Zvonareva, by contrast, was too passive, waiting for errors. I loved that Safina was just willing to rip it.<BR/><BR/>If she takes that mentality into her match against Serena, and more of her shots go in instead of out, I think she's in with a real shot.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355057648774003889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2592023703315255188.post-53779236836907142102009-01-29T20:21:00.000-08:002009-01-29T20:21:00.000-08:00I thought Dinara's match against Vera was awful! T...I thought Dinara's match against Vera was awful! They both looked nervous out there and were hitting so many UE, but both players did step it up towards the end of the 2nd set. I must admit I'm one of those people who think the match is on Serena's racket. Dinara can't overpower Serena like she did against Vera, so if she is to win, she'd have to step it up a couple of notches.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15435224350383898167noreply@blogger.com
