[tossip]

Serena's serve is so weird at the moment. She has been losing her serve at love a lot more than I am used to seeing recently. Losing her serve at love when serving for the set hmmmm...

nah...she will be aight:snigger

po Jimbo...lol he was hiding his face in shame...tehehehe
dont care for Sloane or pova...

I think that Grigor is gonna sleep on the couch 2nite.. No happy time with Masha..:snigger

lots of thirsty groupies in Cincy tehehe ....

Man.. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the women's ladies room with Pova... the 2nd most is to hear how she is reacting, what she has to say and how she is gonna get debriefed by Connors.. I thought Pova has a reality show on TC.. if so .. this stuff 2nite would be priceless

I think the coaching setup is not to blame,its just pova who is rusty...

Apparently Pova debriefing with Connors didn't go so well..Tented just posted that Pova dump Connors as her coach.

btw.. didn't I warn Jimbo not to quit his day job

Serena looked much better in her match up against Mona. Everything was going so well for her especially her return. There were some lazer like returns coming from her.

She's still playing a little lazy to me though.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Yeah, she looked better about her game in her match with Mona though. The thing I have noticed is she is doing a lot of running in these matches where she should be the one making her opponents doing the running. She is getting greater depth on her strokes I have noticed. Get out of clay mode Serena!
