No. I want her gone. There's no hope. Unenjoyable.

Don't just hate for the sake of hating. lol lol
I don't like pushers. But when the girl starts hitting aces and winners on ROS, when she starts going for backhand winners and stuff, I have to reconsider. Can't just keep the same stance while the player is "updating her game". :)

Last year, I started liking Sarah Errani.. :) :) Strange? yup. She is not my usual power player for sure.
But one day, she was playing someone and I was bored so I watched... And I realized how she got to the top-10. She is a very clever player. I noticed when she is facing a break point, she completely changes how she returns or how she places her cheap serve and moves around to protect it. I was very surprised to discover her way of thinking on court...
So now, when I watch her, that's what I am paying attention to... Very interesting. I don't look for winners.
She is one of the smartest girl out there. And she used that skill to get to the top-10. It's not easy to see but now I get it. I was always wondering how a girl like her can even make the top-100. :)

I don't like the way she moves, even just walking between points, and her game seems forced.

It's hard to play pro tennis without being bitchy. Only Petra Kvitova and Lucie Safarova know how.
When you have ref calling your shots wrong, and opponents screaming or cheating by taking fake "MTO" and stuff, I bet you'll get bitchy sometimes. Not easy my friend.
