Cincinnati 2023, Ohio, US - WTA 1000

Grandma Vee came out to play today vs Kudermetova . Vee has to win in straight sets or her draft kings betting odds will change drastically

You can expect all matches where she wins a set to go 3. I luv Vee, but she's not capable of beating anybody in straights anymore. That level of consistency doesn't exist in these 43 yr old legs.

Gotta love Nouni. Vee went to over to the stands to talk to her team during the on-court rain delay. Kader kept calling her name but she wasn't hearing him. He had to go over there and tell her coaching wasn't allowed during the rain delay. Vee said why not? Kader proceeded to explain only if Veronika left the court for an MTO or potty break. LOL. The most accomplished active player on the WTA had to be explained these goofy coaching rules...

Nouni is da Man !

Rain is spitting again and my word it looks like Armageddon overhead

Kudermetova is imploding

Kudermetova is imploding

Yep Venus just broke back while she was serving for the 2nd set, back on serve 5all

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kudermetova will serve to force a TB for the 2nd set 5-6

 

[kskate2]

Vee did it! I love that deep red lipstick, btw.

 

[kskate2]

Wanna talk about a rain delay helping somebody. If the rain doesn't come, Veronika is in the decider w/ all the momentum

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Wow. Veronika just DF'd the match away after imploding as AP said

We will take that

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That is Venus Williams first win over a Top 20 player in 4 years!

 

[kskate2]

We will take that

Yes. Will be a tough 2nd rounder, no matter the opponent, but we'll deal w/ that on the day

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yes. Will be a tough 2nd rounder, no matter the opponent, but we'll deal w/ that on the day

Indeed it will be either Sasnovich or Qinwen Zheng
