Premier 5: Toray Pan Pacific Open, WTA Tokyo 2013

Looks as though Venus will win the match. I wish she could have wrapped it up in two sets and conserved her energy for the next round. Bouchard's serve is getting crushed.

broken agggh

 

[zalvar]

Gahhh just win Veee

 

[zalvar]

Thank goodness. Woo hoo!!

 

[tossip]

Eugenie french canadian side was coming out...Vee brought that side of Eugenie out and I have lost respect for Genie.

Caught the last hour of Venus' match. Genie gave her a run, but Venus takes the final set 6-3. It really was a high quality affair w/ some superior shotmaking by both.

Are you talking about the 3-3 bathroom break? lol

I just can't believe it was allowed lol.

 

[kskate2]

She's allowed to take a bathroom break on her own serve even in the middle of the set.

 

[kskate2]

Caro's in trouble. Lucie has a superior game on this kind of HC and she just won a tournament so she's playing w/ a ton of confidence. She takes the opener 6-2. We'll see how the 2nd set unfolds.

 

[Hoergren]

Caro wins again. Didn't see the last two sets but seems like she found out to beat Safarova. Time for a Carlsberg heart:

PS. Ehr anyone making a birthday congratulation to Serena in the birthday thread??????

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Aggie in deep trouble, lost the first set to Angie 4-6 and is now behind a break in the second set.

 

[kskate2]

Aga down a set and a break to Angie baby 6-4 4-3. Can she turn it around as Caro did?

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

No way, Kerbie should be smelling blood just about now. Kerbie just held serve for 5-3 lead, Aggie has to hold to stay in the match, she had a hard time holding her serve last game.

 

[kskate2]

She holds Kiu. Angie to serve for it at 5-4

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Done deal!

I have scores, quarters are done!

Did Venus get the Record?

In the first set She hit a serve at 209kmh

The announcer said they were waiting for

confirmation. I think that would put it at 130mph

 

[RJD11]

Venus said She was very impressed with Bouchard

and how good she Played....So was I.

This girl will be one of the good ones.
