Beijing 2017 Draw and ResultsRe:Beijing 2017 Draw and ResultsStrycova vs [12] Kvitova [3] Svitolina vs Garcia ------------Bottom Half ------------ [9] Ostapenko vs Cirstea Kasatkina vs [2] Halep Kasatkina looms around... Ostapenko may not like it. lol lol lol Re:Beijing 2017 Draw and Results#ed_op#font color="brown"#ed_cl#@ #ed_op#b#ed_cl#Ace2Ace#ed_op#/b#ed_cl#:#ed_op#/font#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl# #ed_op#br#ed_cl#It is Ostapenko vs Halep... Guess what: Halep once more one match away from #&... and after seeing Ostapenko today I can totally see Halep lose it again #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#26 winners from Ostapenko; in both the first and second set, she served for the set at 5-4.. and twice she won it with a love game... whow....#ed_op#br#ed_cl#(her first serve % was bad - but despite the many breaks, I never considered Cirstea as a potential winner in this match).#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Today, I really understood why you said that she has something Serena-like in her game. The way her shots get bigger and bigger in the rally, with pin-point precision.... #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#I did not see the Kasatkina-demolishion: great win for Halep. And Simona on a revenge-mission? First revenge on Maria for US Open , now on Kasatkina for Wuhan... next on Ostapenko for Roland Garros?#ed_op#br#ed_cl#(nah, I want Ostapenko to win Bejing now... I want her to win YEC too.... She is the heir to the Serena-throne atm for me, though I still have more love for Kasatkina and Bencic). #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" Nice result. I predicted the Halep win at TF despite the bad loss like week. I watched the match and Halep did disappoint a bit... The score could have been worse had she not backed off to run back to the baseline in some games... She still makes that mistake. Halep needs to learn to stay on attack, move forwards to take balls early when her opponent is pushed back.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Based on yesterday's match, I think Ostapenko will beat Halep again. She is not going to engage in long rallies like Kasatkina was doing. She'll take away Halep's ability to redirect the balls left and right. Not gonna be easy for the World #2.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#I am not ready for my girl Halep to become #1 this week. I'd prefer her to be #1 if she wins the YEC... If she can't win the YEC, let Muguruza stay #1. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#I want the #1 to be a slam holder. Or at minimum, be a YEC winner. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#I love her at #2, 3, 4. Happy with that ranking. But if she beats Ostapenko and takes the title, I won't complain. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#Good luck to both ladies... Ostapenko is never boring to watch.. Hope they can schedule the match around 6 AM my time.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Good thing these matches are not played here in the US. The Chinese are not deleting the Youtube videos.#ed_op#br#ed_cl# Last edited by Ace2Ace on Oct Fri 06, 2017 5:28 am, edited 1 time in total. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RRIPUBC0Zp4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> #ed_op#iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_rX1-1BCaC4" allowfullscreen="" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0"#ed_cl##ed_op#/iframe#ed_cl##ed_op#p#ed_cl#English#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bIb1bM6wKmw" allowfullscreen="" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0"#ed_cl##ed_op#/iframe#ed_cl##ed_op#/p#ed_cl# Last edited by Ace2Ace on Oct Fri 06, 2017 5:56 am, edited 2 times in total. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zCCvE7hzjFI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> #ed_op#iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jH2Yf59ruFE" allowfullscreen="" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0"#ed_cl##ed_op#/iframe#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gXfYiF1rAeg" allowfullscreen="" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0"#ed_cl##ed_op#/iframe#ed_cl##ed_op#p#ed_cl#Ostapenko and Cirstea are Doubles partners here. #ed_op#/p#ed_cl# Last edited by Ace2Ace on Oct Fri 06, 2017 5:59 am, edited 2 times in total. |
