Cincinnati 2014: Western and Southern open

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

heather watch lost in a close 3 setter..she hurled her wand after losing the mp and it cartwheeled a fairway towards the ump's chair before stopping..lol.

as mr john lydon once said..."anger is an energy".

Cirstea looks really tired. Huge bags under her eyes.

 

[Front242]

Fairly horrendous game by Ivanovic there.

 

[Front242]

Can't help but laugh at the women being allowed to see their coach whenever they want when things aren't going their way. It belittles them and the sport that they haven't the brainpower to figure it out for themselves. :nono

Great decision.

 

[kskate2]

It is a good decision for Vika to withdraw, but she will lose a boatload of points (900). Hopefully she gets it together for the Open.

 

[kskate2]

Venus looks tired. With alot of help from Lucie, she battles to take the opening breaker 7-2

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Vika will drop to around 15th for the US Open then where she's defending finalist points. Owch.

 

[kskate2]

Venus drops the 2nd set 6-3. Onto another decider.

 

[kskate2]

Venus is going down today. Down 2 breaks in the decider 4-1

 

[kskate2]

And Venus is gone. Thought for a minute there Lucie was going to pull a Lucie and give all those games back. 6-7 6-3 6-4

Here is a tweet from Vika:

"It's tough to withdraw as defending champ. @CincyTennis is a great tournament & I really enjoy it. I should be good for @USOpen." -@Vika7
