Miami Open 2017

[kskate2]

So let me get this straight. Sloane wins a couple of minor titles, beats a couple of former number 1's and that instantly qualifies her as an expert reporter and commentator? :lolz:

I thought she was doing just the non tennis side line reporting stuff like cooking oven bake pizza with Wolfgang Puck..is she doing commentary too..if Mary Carrillo is qualified then anyone can..

In IW she was doing all that side line stuff. This week in Miami, they have her in the studio and she's offering her expert opinion and pre-match analysis. By the way, who wants another Mary Carillo type in the booth? :nono

My buddy says that he noticed that Taylor Townsend had dropped at least 15 pounds...if she has..that's a positive movement for the young lady

 

[the AntiPusher]

Needs to just mentioning Serena afterwards watching Mugu horrendous play vs Mchale ..loosing last year French Open final..would you say, that was the worst loss at a final to a far lesser talented player by Serena..I think so

Not quite. I actually think Stosur is far less talented than Mugu and Serena lost that final in straight sets that weren't even close. At least against w/ Mugu she had chances to take the first set as she was up a break.

Yes KS..SS was Serena's worst lost in a final..thanks :clap

 

[the AntiPusher]

If Mchale looses this match..her team should let her swim back from Key Biscane..

 

[tossip]

Venus about to lose to a lebanese....

 

[kskate2]

Yeah, even though she took the first set, she is struggling w/ this chick.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

IW titlist loses to unknown girl. :cover

 

[tossip]

she must have ate falafel or sharwarma before the match...

 

[kskate2]

IW titlist loses to unknown girl. :cover

I saw that. Fluke win. That was Sveta's match to win and she choked it. Anyway, Kerber is struggling in a first set breaker w/ Duan

 

[tossip]

The Queen righted the ship...#tennisambassador

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Confusing, there is a Osaka and a Ozaki.

[GameSetAndMath]

Aga in a downward spiral since the beginning of this year. She loses to so many different kinds of players these days. I think it is the beginning of the end of Aga.

 

[kskate2]

Yep. Aga's going nowhere fast.

KS do you think Taylor will defeat Sveta ..I think she could if she uses her lefty advantage and stays close to Sveta...
