D.C. Main draw and Qualies.....Last edited by rex on Jul Fri 28, 2017 5:37 pm, edited 2 times in total. Aiava should have played at least 2 ITF events since Wimbledon. She is setting herself up for disappointment here.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#She should make it to the MD, but look where the Qualifiers are landing.. The only somewhat safe spot is against Tig. The rest of the spots are like jumping in front of a firing squad.

One looks at the scheduling of her peers at her age like Vondrousova and Kayla Day who are continuing to play ITFs since Wimby, while Destanee has sat and done nothing for more than a month and a week. What can one say....#ed_op#/i#ed_cl#.#ed_op#img src="/board/richedit/smileys/Sad/18.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl# yup ... the disappointment I predicted came early. Aiava is not in tournament mode. If she keeps doing a Taylor, she'll get the same result: play 1 match, disappear for 4 weeks; play another match, disappear for 5 weeks.. that's not how you create winning momentum. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#They got those ITF events every week. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#Aiava will head back hiding in Australia... Then come back for the Qualifying round of US Open where she will lose again in the first Round. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#Great talent; poor management. There are lots of girls like that on the tour.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Too bad she is spending more time "practicing" than playing... Should pay visit to Allan Iverson: "practice? talking about practice?" ...

Puig has a tennis week where she wins all the time....#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Next week probably going back to her underground nest... just like the ants... not to be seen for another 51 weeks.... #ed_op#br#ed_cl# "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" |
