2014 BNP Paribas Open (Indian Wells)

[MargaretMcAleer]

The wind is a great leveller in tennis no?

 

[Moxie]

Man, I feel conflicted about who to root for in this one. I always liked Flavia and I'm happy to see her back, plus I like to pull for the veterans. But I like Stephens, and I want her to continue to make good progress, also for the sake of the US women's game. :huh:

Maybe we can look at it as the North American Women's game and get behind Genie...that's what I'm doing:snigger

I'm already behind Genie, too. I'm not much of a nationalist. (Many know I root for Spaniards and Italians.) But I feel I should support at least the notion that US tennis has a bright future.

Yikes! Sloane has 46 errors through 2 sets.

 

[kskate2]

It seems the wind has picked up on court

No problem. The best wind player ever is due up next on court.

 

[Front242]

Yikes! Sloane has 46 errors through 2 sets.

That's pretty fugly.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on Flavia keep your emotions in check please.

 

[Front242]

Trouble for Pennetta now.

 

[Front242]

Saved with a nice serve and a netted return.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Great shot by Stephens.

Sloane is talented, she is young and makes mistakes, but she has talent.
Flavia may win this because she is experienced and she knows how to use it.

It's 82 points all and 4 breaks each!

May I ask you is the best wind player?

 

[kskate2]

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh Flavia....Sigh!!

 

[kskate2]

Federer

 

[kskate2]

I have to leave for awhile. I'm watching the Bulls/Rockets on TNT. Sloane for the win.

 

[Front242]

Federer

Not Novak anyway :nono Murray's great at handling wind and Nadal is pretty good too.

SS gets the early break 2-0

Consolidates for 3-0

It's 82 points all and 4 breaks each!

She hasn't won a game in 5 games now though. Not looking good really for Pennetta.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Federer

I think you miss-spelled and put a d in the middle!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There are other male players that play good in the wind too.My fav player isnt bad

True, but it's just 1 break and Flavia knows it.
