This photo was by Pancho. Bethanie Mattek – Sands and Justin Sands.
Editors note: Bethanie and those magic Asics shoes are going to be running around the courts again today. No rest for the qualifier. Yesterday she took out the young Canadian star Eugenie Bouchard. Today she is up first again on the Ken Rosewall stadium against Aggie Radawanska . Good luck to tennis own “Lady Gaga” . Bethanie wears our 10sballs.com patch on her heart but it can also be seen on her bag she carries on court. Mark Mc Cormack would be very proud of Beth , he spotted and signed her when she was a wee one. He would admire her tenacity. She has played every year thru injuries. A lot of American women went thru qualies and won their first round matches. Sad to see Cara Black and Sania Mirza go out in the first round of dubs. Robert Lindsted is playing with a sprained ankle , but they are playing the Bryan’s … The biggest surprise of the day is the Lucky Loser Varvara Lepchenko beating Svetlana Kuznetsova.
