Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for visiting my website and my fans for all of your support!! I am in Paris this week (but you probably already know that) for the French Open and I am getting ready to play Dinara Safina tomorrow in the quarterfinals. This is the first time I ever made the quarterfinals at a grand slam, and it is something new for me and a really big step and I am looking forward to the challenge to see how well I do in the next step.

In my last match against Ana Ivanovic, it was just so unbelievable. It was so close between us in the beginning of the first set, and then in the second set, and the crowd was really cheering for her and behind her since she won the French Open last year. I am just so happy that I won to get to the quarterfinals. Tomorrow should be a really good match against Dinara because she has only lost one match on clay this season. The last time Dinara and I played each other was at Indian Wells in March, and I came back and won in three sets after losing the first. Dinara is always such a tough player and competes really hard in every match, but I am feeling very confident on the clay about the way I am playing and moving so I am just going to go out and play my game.

Today I also played in the quarterfinals of the doubles with my partner Elena Vesnina from Russia and we beat Zi Yan and Jie Zheng in three sets so now we are in the semifinals. I haven’t had much time to rest and time off from playing so far in Paris, but I just love it so much here. It is such a good place to shop, and I hope I will be able to go to the Dior store before I leave because it is my favorite designer and Dior shoes are my favorite.

Okay well I have go to go rest and get ready for my big match tomorrow so bye for now and until next time!
