Singapore Day 5: Sharapova/Radwanska, Kvitova/Wozniacki, Halep/Ivanovic

[Correspondent Kiu]

all the tall players are gone...tehehe.Ana wastes energy by constantly jaunting around the court and the adje adje all over the place..

You are are always critical of Ana and her celebrations, being a Serena fan, you should refrain from such posts since Serena can do some over-celebrating of her own.

yes I have observed that she wastes important energy that could be chanelled towards winning important matches.Serena s fist pumps look organic ....Ivanovic lost the second set because she expended a lot of energy jaunting and fist pumping after every point....its an observation not criticism..:eyepop

Exactly, Serena should take actually Caro, Radwanska and Halep out for helping her end the year at no. 1 and still stay alive in this tournament. As talented as Serena is, she had quite a bit of help staying in this thing.

I totally agree.

Due to her lopsided loss to Halep, she open up a can of worms that she needed the help of other to close the can back up.

Serena has been granted a lifeline by the universe,she should take it and run with it.I think Serena s win over Bouchard put pressure on Ivanovic and Halep.Ivanovic had to win in straights to save herself and Halep had to win otherwise she would have been crucified for tanking.Serena put pressure on these two to perform....its psychology and Rena won that battle...Tennis is all about whats between the ears..

Halep neither had to win to be free of being accused and nor did she win.

What are you talking about maybe Ana had pressure to perform, but Halep had no pressure whatsoever she was in the semis regardless. Halep could have done the smart thing and put in a decent effort after losing the first set having secured enough games to win the group but still lose the second set and give Ana the victory to eliminate Serena. Talk about Simona, giveth and taketh away from Serena. I mean Simona laid a smack down that nearly eliminated Serena from contention, but she also won the crucial set that gave Serena the reprieve. I doubt Halep would have been crucified by anyone other than a few crazy Serena fans for tanking that match. I would have been disappointed in her if she didn't put in some effort as there are paying customers in attendance, but I wouldn't have faulted her for doing the smart thing.

You realize you're talking to a crazy Serena fan, don't you?
