WTH, Ostapenko was hotter than a depo stovetop. Really surprised at the results

Consistency has always been a problem for Ostapenko
Saville has been off the tour after having achilles surgery..surprised that she defeated Jabeur

Ostapenko was consistently playing for almost 3 weeks .. maybe she is tired

I should have re-phrased that....she has to have consistent results through the whole year, not just a couple of weeks of the year.

Sad to see Amanda Anisimova retire in her match against Leylah Fernandez (18) appears to be some type of virus,she was in tears when she lost the t/break in the 2nd set to love,though played well in the 1st set 62

L.Fernandez wins by retirement 26 76(0)

You cant be 'in tune with everything'

Official statement for the retirement of Amanda Anisimova.....illness.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Osaka down a double break 1st set...her ball toss needs to be adjusted ASAP it is too low for starters,causing DFs and lets
Kudermetova has come out playing strong and very offensive and has sent a strong message to Osaka.

Kudermetova wins the 1st set 60 a wonderful set of tennis,she has a complete game,slice,spin,can absorb the pace of Osaka's shots
At the start of this match someone yelled out something to ,Osaka was offended by it,she complained to the umpire in tears mind you,she should tell the crowd to be quiet.Osaka needs to be able to shut out the crowd and focus on her tennis.One of the breaks she again went to the umpire and complained. again( from what I am now hearing the person yelled out Naomi you suck)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Another shock....No 14th seed Jess Pegula outed in 3 sets by M.Bouzkova 57 62 60

Exactly right. They weren't talking about Veronika. They yelled out Naomi, you suck and she can't handle it. She then asked the umpire to have the person removed and the chair said she didn't hear what was said so she couldn't get involved in that situation. Then Naomi asked if she could use the microphone to address the crowd. WTH! You are supposed to be playing a match. Just who does she think she is? No one is going to give you a mic so you can address the crowd, that's not your place. Then she started crying when trying to serve. It's absolutely ridiculous. She has turned into a big crybaby. She needs to develop a tougher skin and quickly.

If you weren't so busy following your scrubs around, you would know Lil Bit played last week and won a dogfight final.

Agree 100% when things dont go her way she bursts into tears? ,toughen up young lady and stop using the 'mental thing. that card has had its use by date!

Bouzkova has turned the corner. She is really tough now. She just has to get over her nerves so she can win a title.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I know someone that is at Naomi's match tonight I will be interested in his thoughts
Also I feel she is unfit,she looks chunky to me,no I am not 'body shaming' at all
It looks like she has not trained in the gym or done much cardio work to date

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great display of defense turning to attack from Kudermetova she leads 5-3 2nd set
