[the AntiPusher]

I havent to date seen any video's of Serena at practice, though I know she attended the motor car race in Miami on the weekend, Caroline Wozniacki, Juan Del Potro were also there.

I think she is RETIRED. IMO

The dancing queen serves a bagel and is on to the next round after serving another bagel

No I have Fox her in Aussie which gets feeds for overseas tournaments for both the ATP and WTA...it is expensive though it is a good service and also I get to watch replays of matches the next day

isnt it time for some of those WTA players who "retired" to start families the past couple of years to come back to the tour.. if I recall it was about 8 or more players. eg.. Lil Dominic Ciba. not including Wozy who I know had a lot of medical issues she was dealing with.. If Miss Drama Z can return to the tour after a long layoff.. anyone should be able.

There has been rumors that Radwanksa is going to make a 'comeback' so far I have not heard it confirmed 100%

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There will be a t/break for the 3rd set between Fernandez v Kastatkina....both players had their chances to win in the 2nd set.This match has been soo close.

Miss Lil Bit didn't have enough in the Tbr. That's a shame

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good, tough win from Kastakina who was the better player in the t/break over Fernandez
Kastatkina d Fernandez 46 63 76(2)

 

[the AntiPusher]

Putinseva reminds me of Ciba ..she needs work on her drop shots

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Going to a 3rd set now between Mugu and Putintseva ....I am going to watch Sinner and Fabio I will keep my eye on this match

Muga sort of imploded during the Tbr

She looks like she has followed that through to the 3rd set as well
Hell was given a bagel in the 3rd set from Putintseva.....Garbine's game has gone AWOL.
Putintseva d Muguruza 36 76(2) 61

Mugu will not win another slam. She only raises her game to beat the Williams and they aren't likely to reach anymore slam finals. She constantly plays down to the level of most of her opponents like Keys.

Agree, her game so far this season has gone from bad to worse...she imploded in the t/break against Poots and never recovered

 

[kskate2]

I think she is RETIRED. IMO

I think she will pull a Federer. Announce that she'll come back to a tournament, but surprise, you'll find out later that it's her last tournament.

 

[kskate2]

Now the banshee's on court against Simo making her presence known.
