I'm just laughing at the thought of Bartoli doing her little bunny hop-and-practice swing routine before returning Sampras' serve. She looks so happy too:

Her SF vs Wickmayer was the first time I've seen Vandeweghe play. She did well. What's the verdict about her game from the regs in this thread who know tennis a hell of a lot better than I do?
― pandemic, Sunday, 15 July 2012 11:51 (eleven years ago) link
Big brainless bashing game, pretty raw even though she's not exactly a junior any more. Started tennis relatively late which could account for some of the rawness but more likely is that she's lazy and unmotivated - she comes from a really rich family (I think her dad or uncle is some mega-famous US sports star). Her results are 90% terrible 1R/2R losses to whomever except in this SoCal swing (she's a SoCal girl herself, I guess she gets somewhat motivated in her home state + the fast courts suit her game).
I really dislike her, she seems like the archetypal spoiled rich bitch - after losing in the US play-off for the AO WC last year to Brodsky, she stormed off court without shaking her opponent's hand. Plus, various kinda awful tweets, eg the one complaining that the first stamp in her new passport would be, ew, Mexico! And complaining about getting busted for parking in a disabled bay.
I hope Serena double bagels her and sends her ass back to Challengers tbh.

Oh, she played Wickmayer. What a fest of likeability that must have been.
lol. ty Lex.
― pandemic, Sunday, 15 July 2012 13:33 (eleven years ago) link
lol spoiled rich bitch has always been how I've pictured Vandeweghe even before i watched her play - her name kind of screams high school mean girl movie villain.
― Roz, Sunday, 15 July 2012 15:02 (eleven years ago) link
CoCo Vandeweghe @CoCoVandeyI don't know what's more depressing. Spending 5hrs in Houston airport or having my first stamp in my in passport be Mexico.. #tennisproblems

smfmh Serena

jesus fucking christ
Serena is going to lose a set to Coco fucking Vandeweghe
― I see you, Pineapple Teef (DJP), Sunday, 15 July 2012 20:40 (eleven years ago) link
hmm maybe Serena heard me yelling at her
― I see you, Pineapple Teef (DJP), Sunday, 15 July 2012 20:47 (eleven years ago) link
I can't watch this match but every tennis fan I follow on Twitter pretty much yelled "HAVE SOME SELF-RESPECT SERENA" a few minutes ago and apparently she heard all of you THANK FUCK
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Sunday, 15 July 2012 21:14 (eleven years ago) link
FUN FACT Coco's actual name is Colleen.
"Coco" is also Portuguese for "shit", I think.

It's sad, when I saw that Johansson had bagelled Hercog in 20 minutes I knew beyond all doubt that she would end up losing that final. Which she did. I wonder what would happen if Johansson ended up playing Vesnina in a final. They really are tragic.

oh god
olympic draw being made
serena vs jankovic round 1 ahaha
― uberweiss, Thursday, 26 July 2012 10:37 (eleven years ago) link
loool just came in here to post about that.
Venus drawing Errani makes me sad though. Can't Vee catch a break?
― Roz, Thursday, 26 July 2012 10:43 (eleven years ago) link
clijsters vs vinci
1st round exit for kim??? :D
― uberweiss, Thursday, 26 July 2012 10:54 (eleven years ago) link
tomic v nishikori
murray v wawrinka
isner v o. rochus lol
sharapova v peer bitchiness ha
of course baltacha draws szavay 1r *rolls eyes*
possible djokovic v roddick and tsonga v raonic 2r
― uberweiss, Thursday, 26 July 2012 10:58 (eleven years ago) link
ugh and Keothavong got Wozniacki :(
Errani is a decent draw for Venus, if she's having a good day it should be easy for her, if she's not having a good day she can lose to like...VESNINA so her draw doesn't matter.
LOLOLOLOL @ Silliams/JaJa

fact: draw gods hate murray. maybe stan's arms will be tired carrying the swiss flag?

stosur/clijsters 2r also possible
my vote for worst match ever
― uberweiss, Thursday, 26 July 2012 11:50 (eleven years ago) link
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Roddick gets Nole in the 2nd round
SUCK IT
― lex pretend, Thursday, 26 July 2012 11:57 (eleven years ago) link
Falla and Benneteau are interesting 1R/2R match-ups for Fed given that he's had to come from two sets down against both at recent Wimbledons!
The Stosur/Clijsters section also features Ivanovic, total nightmare
Heh, Lisicki/Sharapova 3R, though we knew that was coming
― lex pretend, Thursday, 26 July 2012 11:59 (eleven years ago) link
that would require lisicki to get past shvedova in r2 though
