Is my mind playing tricks on me, or is Sharapova getting louder every day?

Maria completely tightened up at the end of the set. Got tentative and let this girl hang around. On to a 3rd we go.

I really think it's just the court microphones that are amplifying...seen Pova in person a couple times and it didn't seem that loud in the stands. :-/

Despite Coco doing well here. Her game is just not appealing to watch.

No kidding. That FH is just a big ole mess and not really a fan of her serve either.

She already dropped her serve. Maria is not letting her win this. :nono She lives for these 3-setters.

Coco has urged the crowd to make some noise at least 4 times in this match. Usually, well known players, who know crowd is for them tend to do this. It is quite strange coming from an unknown playuer. But, I like her courage.

It does seem weird...there are two reasons folks do it...when it's super high quality tennis and the players think the crowd should show more appreciation or the player needs the crowd to support them to pull through.
Can't imagine either of these are applicable in this case.:huh:

Muguruza is the first semifinalist...she can find herself in the final.

Interesting, I didn't know there was controversy concerning this match. Coco accused Maria of sportsmanship by moving around when she was trying to serve.

During or after the match? (I didn't know about this either.)
