I like them both, and will be happy for either winner, but my head tells me Maria in three.

This is a different Eugenie--she is going to win in two sets.

Got to hear Bouchard speak after her win. I liked the way she spoke, what she said.

Maria's coach was in the game more than Maria was today. I'd think the chair umpire will be apprised of that fact and something will be said to them.

Either Bouchard in two or Maria in three. No idea. :nono

This is the second Grand-Slam-Semi-final in a row for Eugenie Bouchard.

Australian Open(she lost to eventual Champion) and now French Open.
Not many in WTA top 10 can even claim that, Genie also has a title to her name this year, not many in the top 10 can claim that either!

But, I think Genie has to do it in 2, otherwise it's Maria's.
Both ladies are battle tested and should be ready for this.
I will do some heavy thinking before voting this one.

I wonder if she spoke in French or English (or both).

Rose

Since Maria ended one of my favorite's run she might as well end another one! Actually when Serena went out I more or less gave the trophy to Maria. So if anyone else wins they will have to take the trophy out of Maria's hands--not an easy thing to do!

How dare you? :nono You all dont get it yet. I am talking to the wind but its to be expected :rolleyes:
If Navratilova didnt get it then why would "normal fans" get it? I was just lucky...
and now I feel like an arrogant idiot. I cant win... :rolleyes:

The future is near :) :)

translation of my post:
I dont say Simo will win RG for sure (she can!), but I say that she will do serious damage very soon in one of the big events.

If Genie stands a chance she has to do it in straight sets against Maria

As we have seen in Maria's matches against Stosur and Garbine

Maria shuts the door,if it goes to a 3rd set.

Correct. :) Rose knows I was not angry at her, just a mood thing.
I guess she knows me by now, and she knows that I like her. ;)

Thank god she is not my queen. Those hearing aids cost a lot and I would get a phobia of staring people :puzzled :D
I would also become a dirty mind player cheat.
I would rather lose than be like that because I look at the mirror now and then :rolleyes:
I am not a "champion" material I guess :rolleyes: opss... I am back :D Did I said too much?... sorry
