SF: S. Williamz (Finland) [2] def. Zuzana Ondraskova (United States) [4] 6-2, 6-1
It was always going to be an uphill battle, but I did an incredibly poor job of keeping momentum. I kept reverting back to poor tactics. That and he kept getting better. And he'll keep getting better faster than anyone as the season picks up. Scary thought.
I am super thrilled though to have shown a little ability to contend, though. My utter brilliance and strategic genius in 06 (

) is now only utter grit and fear of losing, which also works fairly well.
Congrats, S. Williamz, and good luck in the final
