Hi all. I'm not sure whether anyone nominated today's "Moment of 2008", but I don't see how I can leave it out. Never mind that my personal reaction at the time was one of deep disappointment, because I was rooting hard for the other guy to come through, having crossed

On March 7, Marie Bouzkova achieved a new milestone when she defeated Johanna Konta to reach her first WTA final in Monterrey. A day later, Bouzkova would fall to top seed Elina Svitolina in three tight sets. Around the same time that battle finished, Indian Wells began what evolved into
