Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2321898, member: 26"] Congrats to Miss Coco!! IF Madison can beat unseeded Kanepi, it will be 4 Americans in the semi finals - not sure if that has ever happened before. What an absolutely sensational performance by the US women. Congrats to all of them, regardless of what happens in Keys' match... Ok on edit - apparently it happened in 1985 - Chris Evert vs. Kathy Rinaldi, and Zina Garrison vs. Martina Navratilova. All 4 Americans. But even more amazing was the quarter finals had 7 out of 8 Americans - including Barbara Potter, Molly Van Nostrand, and Pam Shriver. Molly was a qualifier and Barbara was unseeded. Shriver was #5. The lone non-American was Helena Sukova from the Czech Republic. She fell to Kathy Rinaldi in 3 sets... [/QUOTE]
