countdown to maria's Domination Tour.

[Moxie]

MashaFan,
If My Sherona is just practicing her freedom of speech then anyone who doesn't have something favorable to say about Sharapova is doing the same thing. You can't have it both ways. So please stop whining about anyone who doesn't have something wonderful to say about your favorite player.

In my opinion every WTA player deserves respect - As I see it - we're not here to belittle fans by bashing their favorite any way we can but to enjoy good tennis and appreciate how players do in tournaments - If your favorite wins it's in my opinion good sportsmanship to credit her opponent instead of to deride or belittle her - Have I understood this wrong? - You guys who started this forum maybe should ponder a little about formulating a forum policy - Clear rules and/or boundaries which direct the users how to conduct and explain what kind of behavior is unacceptable - Starting up a site and just hope that people will behave well and rule by exception obviously doesn't work

I know that I've been contestable but if we all let our primitive instincts rule and think that we can say whatever insulting comments we want about tennis players we dislike or can bully our peers who happen to support a player we dislike then this forum isn't civilized but barbaric - This is my honest opinion and I'll stick by it

I believe we have described the rules. Expecting the best of our posters has worked for us very well. And the best of our posters have complied.

If my sherona is going to make outrageous claims about Maria's dominance, then s/he is going to have to face the objections of other posters. Obviously, "shut the hell up" isn't intelligent discourse, and is unacceptable, but you are wrong that overstated fan enthusiasm, however welcome and valid, should simply be accepted. It's going to be met with some push-back, and that poster needs to be prepared for it. As Kskate said, we treat posters as adults, and are not responsible for coddling them if they get their feelings hurt after they make bold assertions, then are stunned when someone disagrees.

everyone will be Hailing Maria after tomorrow. a great day for tennis.

 

[Front242]

a few more days to greatness..its worth the wait.

Guess it's still a few days away before greatness. Still waiting for it to happen.

Actually, I agree with My Sheron'a comments on Sharapova's domination.
I have never seen any player dominate weaklings like Maria. In the first few
rounds, she really looks dangerous and takes out opponents with a score
line of 6-0, 6-0 (or at the most 6-2).

You know what happens later.

Yep, we know what happens later. As one commentator put it - the bully gets bullied. 6-0, 6-1.

Maria start her Domination Tour with a Bang ! reminds me of her earlier domination tour of 2004.

Hail Maria The Empress !

 

[Front242]

If those stats today put you in a good mood then all I can say is keep taking those blue pills.
53% first serves in and 9 double faults is not good. Mattek-Sands also had tons of break points which she squandered. A decent opponent will gladly gobble up those break point opportunities.

Navratilova said of Sharapova. "She gives you more than anybody,
which is such a contrast to Serena, who doesn't give you anything.

RJD, Martina did not say that it was pova's manager to said that. Read the article again.

Special: That was a quote attributed to Martina in another

article I was reading somewhere. I think it was the Daily

Bagel on SI. Yes it was. Here it is:

Not the Video, but below it in Martina's italicized quote at

the end in the third paragraph.

Yes, it had more than 50% of the points won by unforced erros. So, I guess
we can call it match of the AO'2014.

This means roughly speaking every other point was won due to an unforced error
and the match is three hours long. What more can any one ask?

 

[my sherona]

i guess i have to postpone my countdown for now....DANG! DANG! cry@

Take it easy, my sherona. It happens. She can always dominate next year.

 

[Calvy]

Or the year after next... or... never?

Jan 20 2014.......

....A day that will live in infamy for the on going saga

of Maria Sharapova's eras of domination.


There is no joy in Povaville on this day.


But ....Hark! Ye of little faith....... Maria's next Era of

Domination shall commence forthwith.
