Probably just as well. I don't typically make those remarks but I was saying I like her butt.

More importantly, she's capable of closing a set & match--not fooling around and begging for a defeated opponent to pull a "big turn-around". (When that happens, anymore, I feel cheated by both players.)

Okay, so now we're happy because Elena, Sorana & Caroline are all in the semis. ...but of course, now someone has to lose...

Yeah and unfortunately that's gonna be Sorana Cirstea I think... She already lost the first set 6-2.

But anyways she reached semis and I think that's a really good result for her, she's just 18 and there's always room for improvement

Sorana did quite well in this tournament. She's coming right along. Well, my bet is on Lenochka for Sunday. Nothing against Caroline but I don't think it's quite her time yet. Still, she's played tougher matches than Elena at Luxembourg...

They're replaying a 25-min wrap-up show a few minutes after each hour (with Elena, Sorana, Laura & others.)

http://wwitv.com/a1/7581.asx or

mms://streaming.newmedia.lu/telehighres on Windows Media Player

"Luxembourg RTL" is also streaming well on TvAnts.

I'll put the Sunday info on Live Streams.

I sent you a PM Paul, please check.

Slav’sya, otyechyestvo... hail, Lenochka! The officials said it was the best match they've ever had at Luxembourg. Me, I didn't enjoy it that much. Golden Girl cutting it that close is hard on my nerves. Anyway, congrats to Caroline also--for coming way too close. I'll enjoy watching them more on the RTL replay show, which should start about 19:10 GMT.

Slav’sya, otyechyestvo - That's from the anthem right??

Well done Golden Girl, yeah it was a really tight affair this match. But she won anyway, congratulations

Specifically, "Sing to the Motherland..." Ilnur from Kazan advises those are the old lyrics--along with ones I won't quote 'cause they're too "political". I figure Lenochka would like them--her tennis club being the Red Army Club and all. (Maybe why the WTA Yanks don't like her?) 

sorry

who are you talking about?

Elena Dementieva. Some call her "Lena". Recently learned in Russia she's often called "Lenochka".

Yes we called her Lenochka, BTW Maria's we called Masha or Машенька (Mashenka), Nadia-  Наденька(Nadenka); Vera-Verochka or Verunchik; Dinara- dinarka or dinarochka hehehe

Thanks sir Tommy Jordan

Thanks, Ilnur. Леночка -- is that correct?

For any who don't know: Elena, Yelena, Jelena are all forms of Helena or Helen -- specifically a baptismal name invoking Helena the mother of Constantine.

Ilnur, your avatar drew my attention to the Kazan 2013 Summer Universiade. My, my--look at those proposed tennis facilities in the foreground. What is known about tennis events at these colligiate games?

Thank you, Ilnur. I would love to come. Realistically, much would have to change in my circumstances for that to be possible, but one never knows. But I will certainly keep up with the preparations & development.
