Svetlana Kuznetsova will be in the finals at the NASDAQ 100 Open, after defeating her double partner and #1 in the world, Amelie Mauresmo. It does have to be a little weird to be working as a team and then against each other so quickly. :)

I ran into Kuznetsova a few times while I worked the women's locker room at the NASDAQ, and let me tell you, that is a big girl - built like a compact tank. She and Amelie could easily kick my ass.
