Aegon Classic - Birmingham

[tossip]

Special700 wasn't writing that to intimidate you. I'm not sure you understand how to read context clues. Their problem is they come here to talk about tennis and you talk about the crazy delusions going on in your head. You talk about some kind of nonexistent vendetta between 3 people you do not and never will know personally. It's a bizarre obsession that makes you sound like a nut job fan of Serena.

:lolz:you must be hurting really bad inside to post like this..its just an opinion..take it or leave it.....use the ignore function its available..you have a nice day sir or madam..:snicker:snicker

You must be really hurting if you constantly obsess over the same topic and act as if Serena has been the victim of a horrible injustice at the hands of Vika and Sacha.

why are you always angry...just curious.I thought we are entitled to freedom of speech and thought no...:laydownlaughing...I know you are refusing to use the ignore button its free..I dont know you nor do I want to..#itsjustanopinion..uzzled..

Oh Ana...

The defending champ goes down to the screamer Larcher De Brito after having a break lead several times in the decider and serving for the match. Ana DF's on MP in the TB. :cover

Ouch. I was watching the scoreboard and it seemed that Ana had righted the ship after the first set. I also watched Pavlik's highlights of the first set because I had heard Brito had proclaimed she would tone down the grunts. And compared to what it was in the past, it was much better I thought.

But DF of match point? Oh Ana Ana... At least her ranking won't take a hit before Wimbledon I don't think.

 

[kskate2]

Next we have a rematch from RG: Mladenovich vs Genie. Genie doesn't even look confident walking on the court.

[tossip]

de Brito loves grass and has taken down big names on this surface.I hope her career can take off because she really is a talented player in the Capriati mold..

 

[kskate2]

After a short rain delay, Genie drops the opening set to Kristina. On serve in the 2nd 3-3

Pironkova/Kerbie going to a decider

 

[golds girl]

So Genie manages to win the 2nd set and proceeds to get bagelled in the third set:nono
We need a sports psychologist STAT....

 

[kskate2]

Vika has withdrawn from the tournament. No explanation has been given. TC eluded to a possible issue w/ her foot.

Bouchard situation is now dire... if I was her coach I wouldnt be inspired to continue coaching her...players go into these valleys but in her case she doesnt seem to care.
I hope Kerber gives a good showing and prepare herself well for Wimbledon...

 

[10isfan]

Vika will likely not be competitive at Wimby given her foot problem. Sad to hear the news. I am thinking she should tweak her game to shorten points to protect her body.

I wonder how long Sam will stay on coaching Bouchard and whether she has regrets leaving Saviano since Sloane is starting to play well.

 

[kskate2]

Speaking of Sloane. Where is she?

 

[Kirijax]

Lisicki just served 27 aces while beating Bencic 6-1, 7-6(4). It's a WTA record for a main draw or qualifying. :eyepop

 

[kskate2]

I saw that. I think she had 20 in the first set.

 

[tossip]

Speaking of Sloane. Where is she?

she is playing Eastbourne...
