Ladies' draw: Miami 2019Re: Ladies' draw: Miami 2019Andreescu retires 1-6 0-2 down... Those teenagers can be so short-sighted... taped shoulder when winning IW, but instead of saving her young body from overplaying, she goes to Miami and probably injures herself for a mere 120 points.... She played 35 matches in these first 3 months - thinking that she is indestructible. She may end up on the Bencic-path, getting a serious injury and losing 3 years... Serena is #1 when she plays 35 matches in a whole year....

See in you Rome. I want another mach against Kerber. Re: Ladies' draw: Miami 2019She should have taken her break after IW; she could have started to get experience on clay in somewhat "smaller" events without being injured (Charleston, Stuttgart). Learning on how to make a good schedule is also part of the learning process... and knowing when to take off a week when needed (and the event that you skip does not matter - top players make such choices all the time) "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Re: Ladies' draw: Miami 2019Andreescu was ranked #158 at the beginning of the season, less than 3 months ago. So her schedule was basically ITF and Grand Slam qualifiers. Remember she was a WC @ Indian Wells. There is no way she would skip her first Main Draw in a big WTA even like Miami. She had to give a shot. Now that she comfortably took residence in top-25, she will sit back and redo her schedule. I am sure she will not play as many matches as she's done so far this year. I am glad she played Miami. Now she deserves a long break. Welcome to one of the most talented youngsters to the top league! If Aiava could put in half of Andreescu's workload, we'd see another youngster making some noise. Re: Ladies' draw: Miami 2019I can understand why she did it, but still... one can lose the whole clay season if a badly-managed injury gets worse by overplaying. And at her age, it would be her first decent clay-season at this level. imo more important than Miami (after winning IW). I am simply being critical because a fit Andreescu will be a valuable addition to a great group of youngsters.

Grav, Miami is mandatory ~ She'd have to pull out due to injury. Is that what you're proposing?? Re: Ladies' draw: Miami 2019Venus gave it her all, but Simona was just too consistent. Vee would hit a great winner, then UFE; winner, UFE; repeat. Ugh!! Re: Ladies' draw: Miami 2019I don't watch Venus' matches anymore. Some of the UEs are like a punch in the heart. Can't handle it. Now there is no American left in the last 8. Pretty sad. Re: Ladies' draw: Miami 2019Only 2 players out of the 8 have won slams. 5 of the rest have never made it to a slam final. That's pathetic. There are no top players anymore. Hsieh vs [13] [21] Kontaveit [3] Kvitova vs [12] Barty ---------- Bottom Half -------- [5] Ka. Pliskova vs. Vondrousova [18] Q. Wang vs. [2] Halep |
