Genie on TV right now. She drops serve and loses the opener to BMS 7-5

 

[kskate2]

time to get my tennis fix!

I am waiting for genie v wild thing. I cant believe petka is losing!

Caro will have it easier, since Caro owns Yanina...

Not just that but Caro also plays on center court while other 4 higher seeds play on the second court
Genie wont be on tv at all tomorrow, she is send to exile on the fourth court v Monica. weird stuff by the organizers.
worst of all, both two Romanians Simo and Sori play in the same time! last match of the day. At least they are on tv and we can choose between Aga/Sorana and Simona/Kanepi

Well Si SI it's something about popularity. Not many connects Halep with anythying YET where Caroline is one of the top celebrities in the sports world so that's why organisers sometimes not are logical in their choice. Remember Rory is there too so they have a double up effect:clap - and Genie has to win first (lost first set to Mattek-sands)

Not only that H. Caro is a former #1. They'll always put slam champs and former #1's on the main court if it's at all possible.

First time I've been unlucky that someone else was quoting me while I was editing the post - that's not good for your post - it disappears, so now you have what I wanted to insert as an extra thing. And what I wrote as a quote in the post above - weird KSKATE what about Jankovic she's higher ranked as Caro - so it might be popularity - me thinks Here you can see Caro and Rory and behind to the left of Caro Michael Mortensen her new coach - at the players party:

Today's casualties are piling up, Genie seems to be the next seed going down, now behind 1-5 in the second, Bethanie will serve for the match.

I know what you mean but if so, then popular Genie should have been on second court, not the fourth. And both Romanian girls in same time is also wrong for their fans. They could easily move the simona match forward. no big deal

I'm sure some of it is popularity. But let's look at things factually. JJ was #1 for about a minute. Caro, a year and some change (which also helps w/ her popularity, right?). So in the grand scheme of things, Caro will always get a better court than a JJ or Safina (if she was still playing).

Yes as I've listed on top of page 4 They send TV from CC and Court 1.

 

[Si Si Simona]

These two are supposed to fight each other on April in the fed cup in Romania
Both still play in Qatar so its relevant in a way. The SoriAnna sisters

No Genie wasn't tired, just harassed. :emperor:

 

[kskate2]

Li NO shows up just in time to muck things up. :nono Heading for the deciding set against Rybar.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Pavly got eliminated by a qualifier.
Ana was stunned by the Old Czech Veteran.

Petra and Venus tied up set a piece.
JJ is playing dominant Tennis.
Lucie is playing another 3 setter.

Li NO shows up just in time to muck things up. :nono Heading for the deciding set against Rybar.

As easy as her draw is, I still don't think she will get past the quarters. Li always fizzles after a big win.

 

[kskate2]

This Venus/Petra match looks like the Tokyo match they played in the fall last year.

A little competition makes friendship stronger.
Don't you wish you were sitting on that couch?
SoriAna sounds yummy!

Just tuned into Venus/Petra, ahead 4-1, Venus seems to be in complete control, Petra seems already defeated, she is missing everything! Venus has break point too...
