Genie you have GOT to be kidding me. Sumyk must be kicking himself.

[tossip]

Is Bouchard injured? I can't believe she lost to Davis. I wondered this two months ago, but I will repeat. Why would Sam leave Vika for Bouchard? Vika is a two time Slam champion with the heart and mind to win more and get back to number one. Bouchard is top ten material. I hope Vika whips her when they meet.

she looks disinterested..:cover..and has lost muscle tone.

 

[Kirijax]

Disappointed about Stephens. She just can't quite seem to get it going.

Concerned about Bouchard. She is sinking fast. Something has to be wrong at this point.

 

[rubydo]

Major questions about Eugenie, something indeed is radically wrong.

Major questions about Eugenie, something indeed is radically wrong.

May be her arms are injured due to signing too many contracts with sponsors. :snicker

 

[10isfan]

Hoping Keys takes the title. She has to learn how not to beat herself.
