Today the second all hotties final four was held in Rome and it was good news and bad news with both matches.

First the bad news. Masha had to withdraw before her match against Jelena due to a left calf strain that developed in her match against Patty Schnyder the night before.

The calf was really sore when she woke this morning and after a little jog, she decided to withdraw. Obviously i hate it for the folks over in Rome, but at the same time i think that Masha is doing the right thing in withdrawing. It`s not worth taking the risk in trying to play, especially with the French Open around the corner. Besides she has already gotten in plenty of preparation with the tough matches she has had in the last three days. So hopefully this isn`t too serious and Masha will come back strong after a little time off.

Meanwhile in the battle of the cuties, Alize defeated Anna 6-3, 4-6, 3-6. Another great win for Alize.

It looked bleak for her when she was down 3-6, 0-3, 30-0, but then she stormed back to win six of the last seven games of the second set and then took control of the third set to win the match, which sends Alize to her first career Tier I final. As for Anna, another disappointing loss for her.

She looked very good early on, but couldn`t win those last two points that would`ve put her up 4-0 and seemed to imploded mentally after Alize came back to win the second set. So it was a miss opportunity there for Anna. Still i`m proud of her for the way she played in Rome.

She got some much needed wins and really showed her tough spunkiness that has been missing for a while. Hopefully this will help her finally get out of that terrible slump.

So now we have yet another all hotties finals tomorrow in Rome. This time it`ll between Jelena the defending champion and the very cute and surprising Alize. It`ll be interesting to see how well Alize will handle being in her first career Tier I final. I hope that we`ll get a pretty good match from the ladies tomorrow.

Anyway here are some pics from today`s match along with pics from Masha`s press conference eariler today and some very hot new pics of Ana from Hello Magazine.

Great job Alize!

Ana really looks smoking hot in these new pics, especially in the shots on the bed.

Now if we can just get her to do a bikini shoot.
