Charleston 2014: Family Circle Cup

RE: Charleston 2014: Family circle cup.

Maddie Keys is having a heckuva time against the two Handed Peng, she is now behind 4-1 in the decider, Peng is leading but Maddie is serving.

With Serena out its another chance for Venus?????
Convenient??
A little help from her friends???

Not to be rude, but "dream on!" Venus had a real time of it yesterday, dropping a bagel before shakily finishing off some "nobody!" Typical; esp. on clay! She's wasting her time with no "backup or consistant game plan in her advanced years! It's all or nothing which is "whack!" :huh: uzzled :nono :s

Not to be rude but it seems lately Serena is tired, injured, etc. when there is a chance Venus might win a tournament, unless of course it is a BIG one. JMHO.

Again. Think logically....

We can't think logically when we are wishing for something...

I hope Venus wins, she is playing Chanelle next, then there looms Genie in the horizon.

Didn't they play doubles together in juniors?

Except Honey isn't wishing for anything.

I think Peng's doubles success is doing wonders for her singles game
Maddie you had your chance to serve for the match 6-5?....you did put up a good fight in the match....
disappointed in the end result.Keep working Maddie.

Venus plays Bouchard next....I will predict a 3 setter.

Don't extend yourself too much Nostradamus! :nono :lolz: :snigger :angel: This takes me back probably 7-8 years ago when Venus did the central America clay tour one summer and was losing sets to girls ranked #200, #300 or more! I was so embarrassed for her! Henin was at the height of her powers while Serena was even struggling a bit! :nono

I did not predict a result...so much for my Nostradmus ways.

Petko is very close to her haydays now, her injury a distant memory... I am expecting her to be in top 20 soon. But next she gets Lisicki in an all German match-up. I have to pick my fav. and you all know who that is.

Okay...so she tanked because she is tired. I will buy that.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

RE: Charleston 2014: Family circle cup.

I do think it'll be over today for Venus, Genie in straight sets.

Petko versus Boom Boom should be more interesting, it's a first!

Lucie vs Sam should be interesting too, just because H2H is 8-2 in favor of the Czeck.

Pang is playing Errani as I write this, Dani is in action too.

Well, what is happening between Eugenie and Venus?

RE: Charleston 2014: Family circle cup.

Gee what a tight match between Errani and Peng
Errani winning in 2 t//breaker sets 76 (7-6) 76 (7-5)
