Beijing.....Ladies
Simona suffered slipped disc. Likely gone for a long while. Will be tough hanging on to the No.1 spot. Naomi next at No. 1?

No risks: added all scores up to the final "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" Based on the scoreline, I thought that Sabelenka was reaching a (temporary) wall; but she overcame Garcia! She was 3-5 down in the first, broke back to 5-5, but lost 5-7. In the second, she was down 3-5 again, but took it to a TB... and after winning that, she won with a bagel. Impressive stuff. She plays on a cloud, it seems.

Sabalenka lost this match on her own racquet with 45 gifts to only 12 for Q and nailed 32 winners to only 14 for Q. Classic case of self-whipping when the opponent only has to keep her game between the lines and wait for her opponent who's dictating to self-destruct by returning poorly, repeatedly flubbing executable balls that should have been winners.... #ed_op#/i#ed_cl# |
