Beijing.....Ladies<font color=brown>@ <b>Graveller</b>:</font> Been here all my life, but am not an expert on Chi Town. The city is changing culturally, regentrification is on-going, resulting in changes in all-directions from the downtown area, save for the East, which is the Lake. New bldgs are popping up everywhere, even surprising me, for I live in the burbs'. Yet, the social amenities remain with a lot to see during the day and a thriving, night life along the Magnificent Mile with shopping/restaurants galore and an interesting Navy Pier on the Lake offering varieties of entertainment. Expensive tho' and you'll need to take cabs to get to the places you desire to see, for they span along the Lake for at least 10 miles. Beautiful city........

At the end of the year, she tends to be one of the top 10 with most R1 losses...#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#And I was considering her, but Woz is equally bad at the moment, and was thinking that Belinda had a shot at that one (and Woz being top4 gives more fmKO points)#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl##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" Svitolina out too.... an again no one picked her as fmKO.... Bejing is following the Wuhan-path with top seeds crashing out in the early rounds it seems... "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" #ed_op#div#ed_cl# Collins started with a break vs Osaka, leading *1-0, but then Naomi became a Shinkansen and took six games in a row... first set in the pocket. #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#Edit: make that 7 in a row... a break on love right at the start of set 2... this could be over rapidly... #ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#/div#ed_cl# Last edited by Graveller on Oct Tue 02, 2018 3:45 am, edited 1 time in total.
