I am quite happy cos I thought Elena will defeat to JJ, but she didn't. so Congrats to Jelena

on the other hand, SAFONA LOST  . Thanks so much Vera Dee and I love you!! Hahaha :D

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

JJ won!!! OMG!!!  I couldn't believe it!!  0-6, 6-1, 6-0!!!  That was a rollercoaster of a match!!  Once she lost the first set 6-0 I was like no way can she come back now, and what does she do?  She storms back to win the match and go through to the final!!!    OMG she is just sooooo amazing!!!  I am sooooooooooooo happy for her!!  She definitely has the ability to beat Vera, but I just hope she will have the energy to actually do it!!!  I am a bit sad for Elena though, and sorry for you too Paul!!!

And yayyyyy well done Vera for knocking out Safona - I did not see that coming!!! So Safona is out!!   Wooohoooooooo!!!

Come onnnnnnnnnnnn JJ!!!!

^ But i hope that tomorrow, will pass in final Elena and Dinara like in olimpic games!!!!!

Hi, friend from Kazan. I can accept that. Yet I can't cheer against Vera either, because Zvonareva is also a loyal daughter of your Motherland.

I joke about Jankovic but I have nothing against her. The few contenders who might have been an embarrassment are gone.

But I hope for another All-Russian final.

hi Paul. I sad cos russian final not will. JJ in exelent form, and in third set  has simply split Elena. Vera too nod bad form, but i think that tomorrow JJ win, but i dont care hope that Vera will show its the best match!!!!!!!!

Вперёд Верочка не дай сербам завоевать этот трофей!!!!! 

I dunno, Ilnur.  Honestly, I did not see JJ do all that much--mostly, Elena screwed up with long shots & other unforced errors. It was like she thought, since pushing the returns hard worked in the first set, she'd push them even harder. However, I do appreciate that JJ does not applaud herself when she hasn't done a damned thing (like another Serb we know... )

Then Dinara came out and made a bigger mess of her match.   Weird day. At this moment, I feel both of them should be ashamed for leaving defense of the Кубок to Verochka. I am angry. Particularly at this time when the Western-biased WTA will certainly use it for propaganda. (Listen to their highlight videos--the Kremlin is "infamous"; Lenochka has "notoriety" instead of celebrity. Because these smears are delivered in polite British tones, we're supposed to overlook the language. I do not.)

Thankfully, there is an All-Russian final on the men's side. Marat will play Igor Kunitsyn tomorrow.

Davaiiiiiii  Верочка !!!

You are right Paul!!!!   I hope Vera and Marat win tomorrow

If Vera can't pull it off, I won't hold it against her--others dropped the ball. But she may have a better chance than many believe. JJ's energy level has dropped with every match.

Marat has been playing fine (and smashing only about one racket per match. lol!) I don't follow the men's game closely so I only became aware of Igor at Wimbledon--playing mixed doubles with a Russian girl; I think it was Vesnina, but I might be wrong. Then I saw what he did with Tursunov in Rio. Kunitsyn is coming right along but I'd still bet on Marat.

Vera lost in kremlin cup but congrats JJ with hard victory :)))))))

Vera lost in kremlin cup but congrats JJ with hard victory :)))))))

Oh, I'll congratulate JJ, though we all know that match shouldn't even have happened. The final should have been Elena/Dinara and they have to live with that. Vera did her best and I hated that she cried and felt she failed, when the fault was others'.

On happier notes: y'all definitely have a new kid in town: Igor Kunitsyn. I was totally surprised that he beat Marat but hey! His doubles talent plus a Kremlin Cup champion. Of course, I am sure Shamil knew Igor had a lotta game when he brought him on Davis Cup.

And RTR/Sport TV/Sportbox did indeed stream the girls' doubles, where Petrova/Srebotnik beat Black/Huber, the number one team. So Nadia got something else for the home crowd.

And Olive did it again. Impressive how she handles the 3 great weapons she has...DEFENSE,DEFENSE and DEFENSE. Yep, a real numero uno (Carlos would agree on this one i think).

Well, I'm not gonna get orgasmic about JJ. But here's my thing:

Most Serbs, like Djokovic, are well disposed toward Russians, so I tend to regard them as friendly competitors. So did the crowd in Moscow who, though disappointed, never displayed any animosity toward JJ or her supporters.

The Serbian guests returned perhaps greater decorum than they're sometimes known for at Western meets. So there wasn't a lot for hostile press to pick on. It was a pretty nice tournament, though energy level seemed modest all around. (Probably several things unrelated to the game went into that.)
