US Open Day 4: Thursday, August 28

[Murat Baslamisli]

I am not sure when was the last time a 15 year old bagelled someone in a slam but there it is...

 

[Si Si Simona]

^ Diyas herself is 14 years old

 

[Si Si Simona]

Just watched CiCi for the first time.
Si Si approves CiCi. she is cool

 

[Si Si Simona]

meanwhile there is a big horror show starting on Ash :snigger :snigger

 

[Si Si Simona]

CiCi has mean forehand. SiSi likes

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Genie impressive 1st set 62,she also appears to be handling the windy conditions better on court

 

[Si Si Simona]

oh CiCi ! watching you is like watching me even if I am a not so young grumpy male
Thank you for branding me all over the world
They didnt want me on other forums, now they have me in their faces to always remind them of me :laydownlaughing
life is a karma. SiSis, unite!

I also can be very impressive against this mental case :blush:
starting to watch only now..

 

[Calvy]

Well they have to hop on a rising star before the egg has hatched. It's what they do. Sometimes, they end up w/ egg on their face though (Oudin, Sloane, Vaidisova). The vote is still out on Genie. She still has time this year to get back on the wagon.

Vadisova was not overhyped, she made semi's in couple of slams, top ten. She was the real deal. She just lost interest in tennis once she got involved with Stepanek and I believe she had injuries.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Sori, what happened? you decided to play tennis for a change and won 2 games in a row? uzzled
Has earth stopped spinning?

 

[Si Si Simona]

Its even more annoying when Sorana plays well. It shows what she could be if her head was screwed to her body. Won 3 games 'n row! uzzled

I have no doubt she loses the 3rd set even if she takes the 2nd. A loser is a loser. thats life.
No chance of her keeping it going for long.
If she wins the match thats the BIGGEST surprise in USO 14 including next matches.

 

[Si Si Simona]

horror show. 5-4 break one player lost any shred of self belief, the other is just insane.

If Sori doesnt change anything in her style SOON, then she better quit tennis! She will be ranked 200 soon. As if the tennis rules dont bother her. The size of the court is ignored all the time...

 

[Si Si Simona]

Zero chance of Sori holding her serve now at 6-5. The nerves will kill her.

 

[Front242]

Zero chance of Sori holding her serve now at 6-5. The nerves will kill her.

Looking a lot better than zero now

^ Not so sure it'd be a huge surprise if Bouchard loses 'cos she really has no plan b like many of the ladies (Sharapova in particular) when things aren't going her way. I can easily see Bouchard losing if it goes to a 3rd set.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Zero chance of Sori holding her serve now at 6-5. The nerves will kill her.

she held it i cant figure her out at all. crazy

I am betting my house on genie taking 3rd set, would you?
I do NOT hate Sorana. I am just so frustrated with her madness. Its a lost cause.

 

[Front242]

^ Well Cirstea sure is an underachiever alright but her winning wouldn't surprise me either.

 

[Si Si Simona]

and now she served that great serve to make it 3-3. she is totally insane, so much talent, no brain.

 

[Front242]

Great passing shot by Cirstea.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Huge Fhand down the line from Sorana...well done
