I was sorry to see Keys having trouble with her wrist again.

 

[kskate2]

She's turning into another Glassikori (can't stay healthy)

I hope that's not true. She's got such great potential.

Keys can't seem to catch a break - every time she gets a little bit of momentum, she's stopped in her tracks.

 

[britbox]

Halep's got a shot at this. She's in good form. Let's hope the body holds up.

 

[Moxie]

If she hadn't rolled her ankle recently, this would be hers to lose. I'd be happy to see her take it.

Keys can't seem to catch a break - every time she gets a little bit of momentum, she's stopped in her tracks.

Pam Shiver once said about Serena.."Serena main problem is that she can't get out of her own way"..Key has all the tools but her head is bad.. Lindsey and team needs to get her a sports psychologist.

 

[the AntiPusher]

for me listening to my main man Nuni is more interesting than the matches have been so far..You just know its a matter of time before something may happen with Halep..I lost a little bit of respect for her as a person with the whole defending Illie Nasty incident.. She shouldn't have tried although as little as she did try to say that his intention was in jest.. you can never defend an lifetime asshole

 

[the AntiPusher]

Tossip is right about Muga..

 

[isabelle]

Muguruza won, happy for her

Venus is shining right now. Seems so relaxed and quietly confident.

 

[Moxie]

She's never won the French, but seems to be giving herself a good shake this year at nearly 37. Ya gotta love her.

 

[Moxie]

Tossip is right about Muga..

In what sense?

I don't know if there are any but me thinking it's stupid that there are no lights at French Open. Caroline and Cici's match was postponed because of darknes, but way too late. There were thunder clouds around court 2 and the court is surrouned with trees and other things blocking the light, so I understand Caro's frustrations. As a TV viewer you can't judge how dark there was because the lenses automatically adjust to the fading light. Shame on French Open - let there be light!

In the City of Lights! I agree. Obviously, they need to do a lot of up-dating to that facility. A roof is promised on Chartrier. And, by all accounts, the grounds can barely absorb the human traffic. There is talk of moving it completely to new digs. But a few lights to allow play to continue? I agree.

aehm - where have I seen that woman before ?
