When was the last time a qualifier won a major? Well I don't think it has ever happened. Several have reached the semis - e.g. McEnroe. So it's not impossible that "The Shed" could join the elite by beating Kvitova on Thursday.
I watched her beat Li Na today. She dropped her serve in the first game of the match and hence the set. After that she allowed Li Na only two more games winning the third set 6-0. It's not that the Chinese player played badly - she didn't - but Shvedova completely out played her. I stole some 200/1 ew from Paddy Power in-play and I see that she is now only around 25/1 if you want to back her each-way. During the match she kept looking at some trinket around her neck - possibly a religious symbol? That woud be good news if you are backing her - blind faith is good for self belief (even if you are deluded).
I will have a look at the match prices tomorrow. Meanwhile two great ladies' matches tomorrow - Domi must have a chance against Stosur and our selection Kerber plays the in-form Errani which could be very tricky for her given the way the latter dispatched Kuznetsova.
