Guys... Elena is a semi-finalist at The French Open. I cannot express the joy I felt seeing her come through her draw -- no, it hasn't been her worst one, but she's injured, has been moving slowly, serving poorly, spending most of her matches being dragged from left to right along the baseline and has overcome herself to get here. I'm so, so thrilled. I can hardly contain it. In honour of this achievement (after two consecutive second round Grand Slam losses -- US Open, Australian Open -- and her third round loss at Roland Garros last year) and the fleeting relief/joy us Lena fans have experienced, I have pictures. I also have icons, if you'd like. You're welcome to use them. I apologise that they're black and white, but...it's my thing, because I'm not particularly creative and it's safe but pretty still.

More?



*whispers* Can I pretty please have an MTO inside? Thank you...



Then, there was a little bit of this...



And this...





(I think this was from her Scheepers match, but still...let's pretend it wasn't.)



Outcrazied/injured by Petrova, Lena won, and rested on the net in relief...





If Elena loses tomorrow? I will initially react like this...



...and that will evolve into this...

(The last isn't RG-related, but it's my favourite photo of Elena.) I will try to update more frequently. Until then, pray for Elena.
