Danish Cutie wins at life. Pam Shrivers fails at life.

Yesterday, Caroline Wozniacki aka Caro aka Danish Cutie aka Sunshine moved into her first Slam semifinal ever. Losing just four games in a little under an hour and half, she defeated the new American sweetheart. The match was far from being stellar, it was obvious the pressure had finally hit Oudin. She was making more mistakes than she had done in her previous rounds. It’s possible the 17-year-old also felt the Dane’s style of play. Differently from all the Russians she had played, Caro has a very similar counterpunching game to Oudin. She gets a lot of balls back and ends up making the opponent go for the winner — increasing the number of errors. With this win, Caro will go up to number 7 (!) in the rankings. She now plays Wickmayer for a spot in the final on Friday*.

After the match, Caro was interviewed about her future semifinal opponent by Pam Shriver. Pam asked her how was she was feeling about being the clear the favourite now she’d face Wickmayer. The way that was said made it sound, at the very least, that the commentator was underestimating the Belgian. The crowd booed her and Pam shot a “What did I say?” to them back. Check out the video, it’s a must-watch. Not only because of the booing but because Caro has a clear look of scare when she hears the sound. She probably thought they were booing her. Bless her.

Just before that match, Pam had also interviewed Oudin’s 9-year-old sister. She had closed the kid’s eyes and asked her to spell the Oudins’ mantra, “Believe”, that was written on her shirt. B-E-L-E-I-V-E, the kid said. After embarrassing the girl, Pam said some lame-ass joke and sneakily ran away.

Seriously, someone was on a fire yesterday.
