[MargaretMcAleer]

Matches are still suspended and the time is 7.15pm local time at IW
I wonder if they will be able to complete the suspended matches, still no word from officials

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Match between Venus Williams WC vs N.Hibino (Q) on court now, stadium 1
A few matches moved but not cancelled,
Krueger v Podoroska to stadium 6
Linette v Townsend to stadium 8
Caroline Wozniacki match which was suspended earlier players are back on court
Oh well that didnt last long it is raining again, matches suspended!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

They should just cancel day 1 and play the rest of the suspended matches tomorrow, forecast is good
Venus like a 'Boss' says I am not sitting around and she walks off the court, you tell em Vee!
One thing I noticed one of my favorite umpires The Voice Aka Kader Nouni is officiating at IW

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Finally play cancelled for today and a new schedule for tomorrow up soon!
A lot of matches didnt get on today. 7 matches never got on
At least I got all my domestics out of the way, while I was waiting for the rain to clear up or not

[MargaretMcAleer]

Solid first set for Venus 62 over Hibino, with some quality bhands
Hmm spoke too soon, Venus too many UFE in the 2nd set losing 63 to Hibino
Going 3

This is typical Vee. She cannot sustain any energy past 1 hour. She will get routed now (including bakery products) by a virtual nobody.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I cant watch Vee's match anymore she is about to get bagled.........

 

[kskate2]

If she's not going to win every match in SS within 1 hour, she should just stop taking WC's now

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

If she's not going to win every match in SS within 1 hour, she should just stop taking WC's now

Vee has a WC for Miami ( Btw I put in the WTA news earlier so has Simona Halep)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Anna Blinkova gets another good win defeating Pliskova 61 26 64

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sara Errani's 'grunt' seems to have got worse if that is all possible
Osaka wins the 1st set 63 and has a break in the 2nd set, munching on watermelon in the sit down
Osaka delivers Errani a bread stick in the 2nd set, wins 63 61

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Going 3 sets, match between Townsend v Linette
Linette 1st set 63, Townsend 2nd set 76(3)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good come back win from Taylor Townsend down a set 36 with a solid finish defeating Linette 36 76(3) 61

BTW Alycia Parks is officially working with Sascha Bajin now, he has to work on Parks off the ground shots for starters, and construction of points, she has a good serve, though her ground game needs immediate attention.

I guess I talked him up, eh? He may be good for Parks. He did help Vika, Woz and Naomi when he coached them.

Well we shall see how he goes with Parks, just pointing out what is needed in her game

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Play is suspended due to rain, matches will not resume before 7.45pm

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Now they are hoping for play to resume at 8.45pm?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Now they are hoping to resume play at 9.30pm? lol!
