The beauty of Grand Slam tennis is both its sheer predictability and its utter unpredictability. When a draw comes out, it is easy to trace through a favorite's path, determining where the potential stumbling blocks might come along the path toward the finals.

Dementieva has already had a strong season prior to New York. She had won two hard-court tournaments in January prior to her semifinal…

Today, the climb featured in the race for the fourteenth time in its history. And with the finish line set at the summit, we would have a stage winner atop the Bald Mountain of Provence for just the eighth time ever in the Tour.

SUGGESTION:
