Well Kalina is playing very good tennis.That mean mugging is not working for Kudermetova.

Kalinina is playing good tennis, Kudermetova mentally scarred she had 9BPs in that first set and could not convert, she gets very negative and it is showing in her play at present

I watched Kalinina in a final of a WTA 60 challenger 2021 in Zagreb, she climbed the rankings ever since. She's a good ball striker, don't remember who did she beat in that final, it was during the Covid, about 20 of us watched it on a centre court and they even served coffee and stuff in a small bar located behind the main camera. It was a good feeling when everything else was closed down.

Interesting stat, both of these players, Kudermetova and Kalinina, their husbands are their coaches
Quite frankly I would hate my husband to coach me, it could end up in divorce lol!

She needs to be mentally scarred after that many chokes. I didn't see it, but I'm sure you're not going to tell me all 9 were erased w/ an ace or service winner.

BP No 10 for Kudermetova? nope she cant convert

Just over playing and also a Djoko smash, she just imploded

 

[kskate2]

unfortunately I have to go out so I won't be able to see the conclusion, but those BP's will come back to haunt her. Because ultimately it will bleed into the rest of her psyche

Bye Kskate see you later

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

24 UFE and a DF now off the racquet off Kudermetova
This is pathatic from Kudermetova her mind is now playing tennis for her and she gets broken
She has the shots and a great first serve, though if your not mentally focused in a match you can kiss any match Good Bye
Kudermetova's brain is in 'shatters'

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kalinina consolidates her break and what a effort she got to that drop shot, she has great wheels she leads 4-2 2nd set

well more than likely they started out as the coach, then BMF, then hubby

some people when they spend so much time together they start getting ideas..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

How in the hell did Kudermetova lose that point? she had the whole court?
Kudermetova is making my brain hurt

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kalinina will serve for the match 5-4 and her biggest win so far in her career to make a WTA1000 final (of course at the start of this match I picked Kudermetova to win lol )

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Net cord helped Kudermetova and she knew it

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kududermetova has 3 BPs though as we know so far in this match she hasnt been able to convert?
Kalinina a poor service game, too many errors, maybe nerves, back on serve 5 games all
Apparently Kudermetova has found her brain, back to back love service games
Kalinina will serve to force a TB for the 2nd set 5-6

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kudermetova has 3 SP her brain has risen from the Ashes, that makes it 16 points in a row and she wins the 2nd set 7-5
We are going 3 sets

 

[don_fabio]

Kudermetova leveled the match, she stormed through last few games, didn't miss a ball.

That is the kind of tennis I am used to watching Veronika play, lets see if she can keep the momentum going in the 3rd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I loved the fact Veronika always reads her note book in a change over lol!
