Wednesday tennis in Paris#ed_op#div#ed_cl#Can anyone explain to me HOW Sharapova ever won two slams in Paris (apart from the 'obvious' preparation)?#ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Compare her with the game we saw from Stephens and Kasatkina yesterday, and she is 3rd tier (even less)#ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Get past her first serve, and you win the point. She runs to the ball, she does not slide... she whacks, she does not know anything else...#ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Hit once to the left, once to the right, and she is completely out of position. #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##ed_op#div#ed_cl#She tried a dropshot in the third game. Garbine had time to walk to the side, Have a coffee, and then go back to hit the winner... #ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#That 3-0 double-break lead for Garbine atm is so well-deserved.... #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##ed_op#div#ed_cl# #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##ed_op#div#ed_cl# #ed_op#/div#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" 4-0... it ended with her second, even more hilarious dropshot... hahahahahaha... it barely hit the bottom part of the net... That women REALLY is so one-dimensional... can'( slide, can't slice, can't dropshot. But to be fair, she can shriek like no other. "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" 5-1 Garbine...#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#I am just looking at Maria's footwork, and she REALLY can't slide... she tripples, makes jumps to slow down, tries the weirdest movements to stop, but never slides properly.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#she tried to dropshot Garbine (angain), the latter runs, slides for 1-2 meters and responds with dropshot too, Maria runs, hits the ball (out, of course) but does not slide but stumbles afterwards to slow down. I cannot describe it differently. #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Gonna focus the rest of the match on her 'slide'... should be fun.

"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" Garbine 6-2 *1-0.... Breaking the "cow on ice" right at the start... Halep (following the scoreboard) came back from 0-4 down to 6-6 TB.... "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" Re:Wednesday tennis in ParisYour commentary 🤣🤣🤣. Pliskova must me be kicking herself for that loss. Kerber takes the TB (switched over to see that one): pretty high standard from both. Assuming that Garbine wins today, I coolf not predict who would be in the final: Halep, Kerber of Muguruza. Garbine still leading with a break 6-2 *2-1 "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" Re:Wednesday tennis in Paris#ed_op#font color="brown"#ed_cl#@ #ed_op#b#ed_cl#sekasi#ed_op#/b#ed_cl#:#ed_op#/font#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Well, I only report what I see.

Garbine with the double break in the second: 6-2 *4-1.

Re:Wednesday tennis in Paris<font color=brown>@ <b>sekasi</b>:</font> She is. She said it's her worse loss of the year and is so disgusted, she needs to get away from tennis for awhile, suggesting that W might be a pass (doubt it though). |
