Dulko def. Allez Bitch


Well, my prediction for a Henin making it to the finals isn't coming true.






Allez Bitch loses to Dulko (6-2, 1-6, 6-4), and the stats reveal the key to the match.

Kudos to Dulko for taking advantage of her opportunities, and tough loss for Allez Bitch as a 2 point differential made all the difference. Clearly, her serve is still a work in progress as her 1st serve percentage was atrocious. In all fairness to her, she changed her serve from a platform stance to a pinpoint stance, and to stick to a change in your strokes in match situations takes awhile. That didn't stop her from playing in the Hit for Haiti, where she showed great touch in winning doubles with Navratilova.



In other news, Nails lost to Baltacha [7-6 (6) 2-6 7-6 (7)]; Sunshine survives a close one from gamer Vania King [5-7 6-2 6-4].
