nalbandian/murray match is amazing from what i've seen

uberweiss, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 18:16 (1 year ago) Permalink

BTW, Radwanska still has not lost to anybody other than Azarenka this year. 0-6 against Azarenka and 32-0 against everybody else.

how embarrassing for 32 people smh

uberweiss, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:24 (1 year ago) Permalink

But not for Petra Cetkovska! Who beat her... at some other tournament, probably a Slam once, or something, and just beat her again. (Radwanska is rubbish on clay, anyway).

haha. I watched part of the second set, then had to turn it off, it was so bad. Aga didn't look like she wanted to be there at all.

Anyway, Woz already down a set and a break to AMG lol

Roz, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 12:15 (1 year ago) Permalink

Maybe Woz is hoping that by falling to #8, she will then rise back to #1 to show people it was no fluke?

PLAN GOING EXCELLENTLY, CAROLINE.

NID that Petrova would play her peak tennis against Serena

uberweiss, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 13:49 (1 year ago) Permalink

Cetkovska owns Aga. 3-0 against her and all in the past year.

Wozniacki might even fall to No 9 this week if Li Na does well :D

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS :D

SUCH an important win for Serena. Toughing out a 3 setter on red clay against a tricky opponent will do wonders for her confidence going into the French. This is what she couldn't do in Rome and Madrid 2010. So happy!

Women's tennis in general is so bad at clay right now. All of the top players suck on clay.

Rome and Madrid for Serena!

Welcome to 2008 - specifically the day after Justine's retirement

liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 16:05 (1 year ago) Permalink

+ 13 singles slams

uberweiss, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 16:11 (1 year ago) Permalink

I'm pretty sure Justine could still win Roland Garros now, even without warmup.

justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 17:46 (1 year ago) Permalink

She didn't in 2010

abcfsk, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 17:53 (1 year ago) Permalink

Well, if fully motivated.

justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 18:11 (1 year ago) Permalink

she wasn't motivated in 2010? after the AO final and winning stuttgart?

uberweiss, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 18:47 (1 year ago) Permalink

Justine's comeback was such a disgusting flop :( She basically never got her serve under control during it.

I really want Venus to come through the bottom quarter in Rome. And then lose to Kvitova obv.

liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 21:36 (1 year ago) Permalink

LOL, Azarenka routines Peer and then 20 minutes later is suddenly carrying an injury so bad she has to w/d.

liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 21:51 (1 year ago) Permalink

yes justine's comeback was amazing :D

thanks for giving serena that one last slam win over you, girl! :D :D :D

becoming clijsters' bitch was hilarious too

uberweiss, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 23:45 (1 year ago) Permalink

nothing more beautiful than seeing ivanovic choke away 6 set points. and it was so NEVER IN DOUBT <3

hope some of you saw that fed-ferrero point just now

What a dull presence this Kerber is.

no rome and madrid for you, serena

uberweiss, Saturday, 19 May 2012 14:15 (1 year ago) Permalink

yeesh yet another gallant but losing effort against Nadal from David Ferrer, poor guy.

Up to 6-6 in the TB, they were both tied at 48 points a piece, then Rafa chases down an impossible dropshot, somehow pops it back over the net where it landed right on the line for the mini-break, ten seconds later, it's first set Nadal.

Roz, Saturday, 19 May 2012 15:44 (1 year ago) Permalink

and it ends with a bagel. Appropriate.

Roz, Saturday, 19 May 2012 16:19 (1 year ago) Permalink

Fed/Nole was a bit anticlimactic yesterday, for all that Rafa and Nole seem to have slipped a little this year thus opening the door for a Fed mini-revival (and shot at No 1), Nole's been peaking when it counts this year and he reasserted the hierarchy pretty convincingly yesterday. So we're back to Nole vs Rafa being the story that counts.

I miss the days when Li would reliably own Azarenka and Sharapova :( I fear they are over :(

Oh yeah, Yulia Putintseva won a big 100K challenger last week and is up to 122 in the rankings. The Devil Child is coming, you guys.

I think this photo might trump even the infamous Rybarikova one for sulkiness!

Li putting the smackdown on Sharapova :D :D

Roz, Sunday, 20 May 2012 12:56 (11 months ago) Permalink

Maria will probably fight back to 4-4 or 5-5 and then lose in a torrent of DFs in her last service game

yawn

uberweiss, Sunday, 20 May 2012 13:14 (11 months ago) Permalink

Words cannot describe Li's stupidity. What was that. SHE WAS PLAYING SO WELL

how come they're both so unintelligent

A little dribble of hope that Sharapova might choke herself.

'MON!

how come they're both so unintelligent

speaking of which, Li's speciality every time she's dragged wide of instinctively going for the stupid low-percentage DTL winner which she NEVER MAKES EVER NOT EVEN ONCE has been causing me so much grief
