IW WTA Main DrawRe:IW WTA Main DrawOsaka wins big... a la Serena. That's how you play Big Babe Tennis. No waiting and pushing and slicing. Who need drop shots when you can hit winners from everywhere? Did Serena ask her little brother Sasha Bajin to go help the young admirer? Girls seems to be hitting her stride.

Not with someone you admire and been trying to emulate since you were a child. Not with someone that adores you and wants to be just like you. There is enough animosity going on.

Kerber and Kasatkina will be first out of the block. Venus and Navarro at 7 pm. Better scheduling than yesterday. It took Del Potro like 22 hours to win a 3-set match. Every time I logged back on to check the result, they were still playing the same set.  Glad it was not Best-of-5. Should have moved the ladies to another stadium. ... it's painful to wait for those guys to get off the court.

As I keep saying, Kasatkina has other options than pushing. I couldn't watch the match so not sure if Kasatkina was ending the point early instead of sitting back and pushing. But that's some beatdown. 6-0 6-2. Closed both sets with aces. Great job. Last edited by Ace2Ace on Mar Thu 15, 2018 2:37 pm, edited 3 times in total. Re:IW WTA Main DrawJust looked at the scoreboard and I'm duly shocked at the scoreline..... 
Re:IW WTA Main Draw<font color=brown>@ <b>rex</b>:</font> With women, you never know. Time-of-the-month plays a role. I often wonder if that affects certain players so much so that they always fail at or skip events that fall around that time. come on now.. Those are Pro players, handling these things since their teen years. Give them some credit. Last edited by Ace2Ace on Mar Thu 15, 2018 2:37 pm, edited 1 time in total.
<font color=brown>@ <b>Ace2Ace</b>:</font> Pros but female pros. Ana I. said coaches don't understand how to take emotions into account. This could be what she was referring to, at least in part. I don't see guys playing their best tennis with cramps. Last edited by Grossefavourite on Mar Thu 15, 2018 2:55 pm, edited 1 time in total. |
