Upset Corner - AO 2016 edition

[the AntiPusher]

Venus about to go down in straights to Konta. She will drop a boatload of points and her ranking will plunder.

That's a shame,

#32 seed Garcia drops the opening set

 

[tossip]

Venus seems injured or struggling with Sjogrens...

 

[Hoergren]

Kerber is in big trouble against Doi right now - lost first set 67 and won by a hairpin second set tiebreak - but she was lucky doing that so one set all.

I knew Halep's injuries were worse than she was letting on. She usually can play through things and doesn't mention what she's feeling. If she's constantly talking about the pain it means its something serious. I wish she had a better team around her that would just have told her to skip the entire Aussie swing. She should have waited and come back around Indian Wells.

 

[kskate2]

#23 seed Sveta down a set and 6-5. Bondarenko will serve for it

 

[tossip]

Sveta is just pathetic...peaked in Sydney
Serena is still on course and is playing better than last year...

 

[kskate2]

Petra drops the opener to Daria

 

[Fefe26]

Petra in trouble

 

[Fefe26]

petra gone, hopefully she will recover soon.

 

[kskate2]

And the #6 seed is gone 6-4 6-4. Daria wil play Mladenovich

 

[tossip]

Kvitty gone...anyways she never really plays well in Australia...Daria knows how to play tall players..she is a young player that plays with so much joy..can imagine a match between Putintseva and Daria..

 

[golds girl]

It's rare that I predict the outcome of a match but the Petra vs. Daria match seemed predictable. Petra also never plays well in the Indian Wells/Miami swing because of allergies so don't expect much till probably the French

 

[Calvy]

So, the two players I am most weary of against Serena are out, Petra and Kuzzy!

Shouldn't you be most concerned about Vika?

 

[kskate2]

Or Vinci. She's on that side of the draw

 

[Calvy]

Or Vinci. She's on that side of the draw

Not Vinci, her upset was one off.

Not really, she like what, 0-10 against Serena in slams? Vika plays tough, but, Serena raises her game against Vika when need be.

 

[kskate2]

Or Vinci. She's on that side of the draw

Not Vinci, her upset was one off.

One can only hope. I thought the same thing about Cornet and then she turned around and defeated her 3 times in the span of a few months.

First, only two of those matches were outright wins. The third was a retirement after Serena won first set and was up a break.

Second, one victory over Serena doesn't make one the biggest threat, because then Sloane, Ana, Makarova, and Razzano would have the same claim.
