Tennis cutie pie, Patty Schnyder, from Switzerland has been beaten out of the U.S. Open in the Quarterfinals. Her opponent, another featured cutie pie, Elena Dementieva, from Russia, easily won the match in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3.
This was a much better showing for Patty Schnyder, than at the last Grand Slam at Wimbledon where she was beaten out in the 1st round. Schnyder had not made the Quarterfinals at the U.S. Open since 1998. However, the 29-year old 15th ranked Schnyder was just no match for 6th ranked 26 year-old Dementieva.
It was a good run, Patty. Keep on trying!
