Maria is into the last 16 at the China Open in Beijing after she grinded out a victory over #9 seed Victoria Azarenka of Belaurs.  Maria won 6-3 6-7 7-5 in 3 hours and 6 minutes to extend her winning streak to 7 matches.

In the 1st set, Maria battled back from 3-1 down to take the next 5 games to take the set 6-3.

Maria was again down in the 2nd set and came back to force a tie-break which Azarenka won 7-5.

The match looked to be over for Maria has Azarenka took a 5-2 lead in the 3rd set but Maria showed true grit and determination to take the take the next 5 games to take game, set and match.

In the 3rd round, Maria will play Shuai Peng of China on Wednesday.  This match will be the 4th match on Centre Court and the schedule of play begins at 11.00 local time (5.00CET, 23.00ET & 20.00PT).  They have played once before in Berlin in 2005 on clay and Maria won in straight sets.

Here we go everybody; tonights top ten list: Nov 06, 2009 at 18:24

Top ten ways you know that your dog hates you, hates you:

#10. He erases the T-Mobile account from your harddrive!

#9. He takes a pair of shears and randomly cuts your hair some night!

#8. #8. HE throws the tennis ball for YOU to go fetch!

#7. He sends you a big tub of ice cream for your birthday!

#6. #6. He orders a group of female strippers for HIS birthday and charges it to YOUR credit card!
(who wouldn't)
#5. You come home from a really long plane ride just to find your toothbrush in the- well, you know where!

#4.#4. He calls you you up on center court in-between sets just to say "What's Up?"

#3. He pours a bottle of ex-lax into your gameday bottle before every grandslam match!

#2.#2. After about the third grand slam(after you caught on), he mails you a cryogenecally frozen jar of tears with the word crocodile taped to it!

And the #1 way you know that your dog hates you (drum roll please):

#1. He would rather lick himself! Take that as you will, everyone knows where I stand on that subject anyway.

Since you cant do anything but use me for big contracts off the court and then not back it up on the court, which is the only thing you have to offer then, you need to get lost permanently and stop fucking up my life!

If you had any common decency left, you would pay off the debt since you kept every body waiting for eight years! I have other options, and I do not want to do this anymore! GET THE FUCKING POINT BEFORE YOU GET KNOCKED OUT LIKE YOUR BOY NIKOLAI YESTERDAY!

Oh yeah, your some man Sasha. You have to copy everything I like just to get her attention, right Arizona! Just like all the other ones. Despite what other people say, if you were the man, you'd have an original idea to add instead of just more copying that adds up to lingering.

I can only hope that everybody realizes that I tried being nice and mean to stop this! That was the reason for all the BAD activity that Verizon so haughtily has been talking about. We were on the "same page" with the teamwork B.S., but you just used it as an excuse to go out and lose so you could start with this New guy. You dump all the 2004 memorabilia and yet you still talk it up with well done! One minute your complaining about me not caring, and then the next I'm to jealous. You have no control over your emotions, and it is perfectly clear that you have no idea of what your doing beyond the signed paycheck! I just hope that ever woman out there realizes this for what it is!

Just to clarify two things: I was refering to your Wimbledon loss (when you started seeing Sasha,ah) , not Beijing!!!!!!!! But that doesn't even matter, BECAUSE YOUR JUST ABOUT THE BIGGEST COWARD IN THE WORLD. yOU DIDN'T EVEN TRY! HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?

Hell, I told my mother a hundred times to slap you in the mouth if you wouldn't stop bothering us with your B.S.. But if you want to believe I was going to beat up, go ahead and put on those boxing gloves and suffer just like your Russian brother over last weekend!

Example 1. This military tribunal thing! How quickly you people forget about our terrible reputation following our invading and securing Iraq, which is probably the only reason he changed those trial settings, to help improve our damaged reputation! Now maybe we could have gotten more information, the devil is in the details. I don't know, it's not my job. But the way to go about expressing these ideas isn't by condeming him Juliani! Don't try to work together, though: just keep following Adolph and Ava and Hannity and Oberman,YOU KNOW, the true problems in this country!!!!!!!!!
