2018 ITF General talks#ed_op#i#ed_cl#Tried watching Kuzmova's match last night, but the stream was terrible. Gave up.......#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#As far as current "live" ranking, one "live" ranking site has Kuzmova at 98th after her title, which is what I went with, while Coric's live ranking site has her at 106th. Who to believe? Yet, it's only a matter of time this talent is in the top-100 and staying. #ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl# Peterson is making her move. Now in QR2, playing Bouchard next. Sorry for the young Canadian. Last edited by Ace2Ace on Mar Mon 19, 2018 1:55 pm, edited 2 times in total. France: $60,000 Croissy-Beaubourg #ed_op#br#ed_cl#Kuzmova enters the Doubles with another l#ed_op#strike#ed_cl#ethal ball striker#ed_op#/strike#ed_cl# #ed_op#strike#ed_cl#Zanevska#ed_op#/strike#ed_cl#. Missed it. It's rather with Kalinskaya, another 19-year old power babe. Still gonna be hot.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#In Singles, I expect Kuzmo to run into bomb thrower Ocean Dodin in the SF. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#But Anna Blinkova could stop Dodin in the QF. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#Blinkova vs Dodin should be a tough one.

Match-ups with Andrea Petkovic tomorrow at about 9:30 a.m. stateside (MW). Will be watching..... Watched some of her match this morning against Paolini, who is a nice player. I'll just say I love her game, better game and talent than my young fav in Osaka. Not as passionate yet, but it's getting there. yes.. I was watching Halep vs Pliskova when looking around, I saw kuzmova was on. Had to tune in. Love to watch this girl.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#First set 3-3 ... big match. big shots.. big points.. Power babes... the way I like it. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Paolini with her small frame can really hit powerful winners. I like her. Her problem is that she never comes forwards behind her big shots to end the point. When she adds that to her game, she'll stun a few top players now and then.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl#Of a sudden Kuzmona could not find the court.. spraying left and right while Paolini had no mercy. Paolini goes up 5-3, serving for the set.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Then Kuzmova wakes up and wins the next 4 games. Her cross-court backhand is devastating; 7-5. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Then I had to leave...#ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl# #ed_op#/div#ed_cl#Petkovic is not going to be an easy match-up because she can be a brick wall some times. If Kuzmo's bombs are not lending like when she was going down in that first set against Paolini, forget it. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#I think she'll enter the top-100 if she beats Petko. But this has been a problem. Every time she needs to win just 1 match to enter the top-100, she finds a way to lose. So, crossing fingers.

The way she loses sometime is puzzling. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#So I'll just stick to top-100, which is a few steps away. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#But yes, I expect her to become a regular in WTA events.. She's got big shots, big serves and beautiful drop shots out of nowhere. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Needs a good coach to enrich that uranium. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Rocking the red top:#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#img src="https://i.imgur.com/coGEv5Q.jpg" width="683" height="1211"#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl# Last edited by Ace2Ace on May Thu 10, 2018 9:42 pm, edited 2 times in total. |
