At last I have got round to finishing my full TV-report of this match
(including a point-by-point description) and uploading it to my
website:

It also includes the first-round scoreboard-report that I posted here
at the time, plus statistics and an additional article.

============================
From Amelia Island with Love
============================

MARIA SHARAPOVA: Three members of Broad's Eternal Fanship were beaten
at Amelia Island. One of them was Hantuchová. What have you to say,
Number Two?

ANNA CHAKVETADZE: They were Broad's choices. His players failed.

DANIELA HANTUCHOVÁ: It was your plan! They followed it implicitly!

ANNA CHAKVETADZE: Impossible. It was perfect.

DANIELA HANTUCHOVÁ: Except for one thing: I was dealing with Šprem!

ANNA CHAKVETADZE: Who is Šprem compared with Broad's Eternal Fanship?

MARIA SHARAPOVA: Exactly. What have you to say to that, Number Three?
Your countrywoman Cibulková is in the final, and the trophy is not
yet in our possession. I have already negotiated with the Russians to
return it to them. We've agreed a price. And Broad's Eternal Fanship
always delivers what it promises. Our whole organisation depends on
our keeping those promises. I warned you. We do not tolerate failure,
Number Three. You know the penalty.

DANIELA HANTUCHOVÁ: Yes, Number One.

MARIA SHARAPOVA: Our rules are very simple. If you fail... <kicks

collapsing>
Twelve seconds. One day we must invent a faster-working venom.
Number Three!

DANIELA HANTUCHOVÁ: Yes!

MARIA SHARAPOVA: I do not wish to have to tell the Russians there
will be another delay.

DANIELA HANTUCHOVÁ: There will be no delay, Number One. There's still
time.
