Kerbie getting tuned up again by the spunky teen

Kerber told the young Canadian teen that she is the biggest drama queen EVER.. that's the lowest opinion from one pro to another.

Kerber told the young Canadian teen that she is the biggest drama queen EVER.. that's the lowest opinion from one pro to another.

Oh wow! I was wondering what she said at the net. That's pretty low and unexpected from Angie. She receives high praise for likability in the locker room.

Correct, I would have to side with the veteran on this one.. Kerber

[MargaretMcAleer]

Thanks,I could hardly hear what Angie said at the net,maybe it was my TV channel.I watched the whole match and I do not think Bianca behaved like a Drama Queen lol!....sour grapes from Angie.

 

[kskate2]

Maybe Kerbie is upset w/ all the visits from the trainer Bianca receives. This just seems so unlike Angie to complain.

Bianca received visits from the trainer regarding her shoulder which was taped in the final at IW,she did not complain then? I just dont think she liked to lose twice to the teenager.

I agree that she doesn't like losing to this teen, but it's very out of character for her to complain. Also the trainer came on court last night for some rubdowns during the changeovers.

Bianca also got rubdowns for cramping in IW......maybe Angie does not like the fact she calls for the trainer.I do not think when Bianca called for the trainer in either matches was a factor in the outcome in either matches.

 

[kskate2]

Neither do I. Bianca won both matches because she was the better aggressive player, period. A pill Angie will have to swallow, like it or not.

 

[kskate2]

Ebony Smooth should have her player card revoked. Absolutely dismal performance as defending champ. Grandma Venus carrying several injuries w/ no serve competes better than Sloane. :scratch:

Life without Kamau isn’t going too well for Sloane. Just like Naomi departure from Sascha..both are dropping like wet turds after an all veggies meal.

At least Naomi competed yesterday. She actually served for the match before losing her mind. ES is on a whole other planet.

I think EBony Smooth will reconcile with Kamau who isnt having immediate success with Monica Puig either before Naomi and Sascha reunite.. One thing both ladies have got to realize, a player/coach relationship has to be treated like a business venture unlike a personal relationship or marriage. We all have worked with individuals we didn’t like personally but we did whatever was needed to get the job done or to see a project through to fruition.

You might see Sloane reunite w/ Kamau, but I can't see Osaka swallowing her pride, tucking her tail between her legs and scurrying back to Sascha after what was said and done.
