In an already pretty dull tournament, Zvonareva is out, destroying any chances of seeing future match meltdowns (assuming you are one of the lucky folks who gets to see non-Slam tennis). Sigh. I think it is over for Zvonareva - sure, she does okay, but never well enough. There isn't any indication that this will change.

Asagoe losing was also big news, as long as you define "big" as "there is not much going on in women's tennis this week".
