Zuleika, thank you for the insight. I'm interested in what Cibulkova was doing in particular? Why was she arrogant?

If it weren't for a few untimely misses and atypical forehand errors off the racket of Dinara which the arrogant Cibulkova had capitalised on, -she would have won the break to win either 7-5 or 7-6 in the match tiebreaker. Mixed doubles would have then with Dinara's renewed confidence altered the outcome; nevertheless nothing will compensate for the Slovaks on court sportmanship and conduct were entirely disgusting and embarassing for the Slovak Republic's nation- in particular Cibulkova.

@ Kristine Well, Domi's cute, you can't blame him.

Oh, Safin is cool, I'm sorry that I have to compare, but much hotter than Verdasco.

@ Jelena S. Jelena and Ana are more than shaky! But I wouldn't generalize. Look at Dementieva, she won the title at Auckland, and Venus rocks at JB Group Classic. Safina lost to Cibulkova but she had defeated Alize Cornet, Hsieh Su-Wei, and Flavia Pennetta.

I can't belive someone defeated Safina. Looks like the top girls are a lil bit shaky at the begining of the season,what do you think?

Congrats to Slovakia. Looks like Hrbaty's puttin' the moves on Domi. Tsk, tsk. lol

I feel bad for Safin, tho. He just can't get a break. Hasn't won anything since 2005's A.O. Even w/a double combo w/his sister. For me, hands down he's the hottest guy on tour, but his gorgeous looks don't seem to be helping his tennis. *sigh*
