Petra got knocked out by the youngling!
In impressive fashion I might add.

K...
I like the smaller font score better, fits the page nicer, easier to read too as it all fits in the screen.
Thank you for posting it.

Small font is good as long as it's not too small. Some people may have trouble reading it even with specs & I don't think I've seen a magnify button. Not everyone has 20/20 vision. That's just my opinion though. I'm very sorry for the criticism but I thought I kept it constructive so it was acceptable as it allowed you to see things from another perspective & yes I do wear specs & yes I do have trouble reading small writing even with specs on.

I do this on a computer screen, not a phone.
I understand where you coming from. I'm blind without glasses, can't read anything.

Sloane took first set and only allowed one game!
We do have a close second set.

I'm on a P.C. too. I'm very sorry. I didn't realise. I honestly thought I was offering constructive criticism. It's so annoying when you have to strain to read things or mis-read something & you feel an idiot afterwards although you know the reason why you can't read is because you can't see rather than you don't know how to. I'm also very sorry for interrupting your conversation.

I'm sure Azarenka was rusty, but nice win for Sloane. She graciously said the courts there suit her game really well.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

You are fine Ann(Like horses eh?).
No worries, comments are always welcome.

Ostapenko seems to be terrible on hard courts lately, she lost in straights to Martic.

Kerber and Karolina survived the round, both went 3 sets.

Halep is in trouble!

Sloane looked good in the extended highlights I watched. She looked really composed, in control and that forehand was pretty special. Only watched highlights which will obviously show the best bits... but liked what I saw.

!!!!!!!!
Q Wang d. (14) K Mladenovic
6-1, 6-2
!!!!!!!!!!

This is past a slump! Kiki needs a break or something drastic!

I'm not lowering Wang but this scoreline is really BAD!


------------------
Anyways, for what it's worth, I am taking Venus tonight!

O.K. Kiu. (Yes, I absolutely adore them, ponies & donkeys too *that's why the name EquineAnn instead of HorseyAnn or something like that*). Thank you very much.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Caro advanced making bunch of people in Denmark happy, me too!

Angie too. them two are on a collision course but first , there is another round to be played.

It's just like Sloane to step it up in a big match, then lose the next round to a lesser seed, Sloane lost first set. That match is going.

 

[Moxie]

The big match is on now. Can Serena beat her big sis? I'm kind of picking Venus for this one. Given the rust.

 

[kskate2]

Never doubted Venus would win this. Serena has more work to do to beat someone of Venus' caliber.

Vesina's reign comes to an end. Angie is playing well.
