[kskate2]

She sure does look skinny (and on TV)!

 

[kskate2]

She just dumped serve again. Belinda up 4-3

Bouchard escapes MP and breaks back? Very weird match. Come on Belinda!

 

[kskate2]

Oh my. That's a big collapse for Belinda. She served for the match, dumped serve and then couldn't hold her serve again to force a TB.

Wow. That place must be jumping now.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Looks like the Bouchard usual collapse is happening now.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

I am totally puzzled by what is going on with Genie...

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Poor Genie, drew Belinda for the opening match. Hope the organizers at least put her on court 3 when her turn comes to save some embarrassment.

Nobody listened to me. They should have placed Genie in court 3 to avoid some embarrassment.
Genie gone back into the bottle.

Actually, this completes one year of fall and fall (as opposed to rise & fall) of Genie. Her fall started a year ago in Canada when she fell to Shelby Rogers at Rogers cup. Since then she has been steadily falling including 9 first round losses (so far) this year. :cover:cover:cover

 

[Calvy]

Bouchard has the most mechanical game that I have EVER seen from a top or former top player. It's just an ugly game to watch. Kerber too has a mechanical game, but, it's no where nearly as Genie's.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

ES vs. PR coming up shortly. Might be interesting.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

heather Watson is a set up..or was last I checked, needs some proper wta wins (not counting qualifying).

I agree with you. She plays like a Robot with almost all her moves predetermined. I think she lacks IQ. May be she should borrow some feom Bartoli who claims to have too much of it.

 

[kskate2]

ES vs. PR coming up shortly. Might be interesting.

Interesting indeed. ES still in a bit of victory haze & PR takes the opener 6-3

 

[tossip]

Cibby is in the zone everybody!

 

[golds girl]

Cibby is in the zone everybody!

We'll see in this second set whether she can keep it up.

 

[kskate2]

ES dumps serve even after Saviano came and told her what to do. 2-1 :cover

she is not exciting to watch..:snicker

 

[tossip]

Sloane is a counterpuncher

 

[tossip]

Cibby loves the hardcourts and she seems to like the night matches ...
