Western & Southern Open - Cincinnati (Women)

[Kirijax]

yes she is the only one denied a locker..

Link please.

post no.52

Doesn't say anything her being the only one but yeah, Cincinnati really dropped the ball on this one. Intentional? Doubt it. Just really, really stupid and embarrassing. Give Serena her own room with all the compliments as an apology. :snicker

 

[Kirijax]

Radwanska goes out too. That's six of the bottom eight seeds knocked out.

Plenty of lockers for Serena now. :snicker

this is Cincy for ya....this place has a history..but WTA should have a say in this poor PR situation they set off fireworks that were meant for 10pm but they chose to set them off early.
Federer will not get this treatment...
Serena should keep her composure because she has bigger fish to fry in New York..

eeewww:nono...I dont think Serena cares about Radwanska locker..maybe she will take Venus locker now that she has withdrawn from the event..

yes a viral illness:cry...Serena needs match play before the Open..a few matches to tighten up her game.

Sharapova drops out as well. Disappointing.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Genie about to drop the first set to K. Bondarenko. Now, all the girls beat up on Genie. She has become the Rafa of WTA

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Genie is leading 4-0 in the TB.

whats up with WTA and Serena...no.1 player in the world doesnt have a locker...

This is unacceptable, especially considering in the "Facility Requirements" section of the WTA's official rulebook, it states: "Lockers or other similar storage units must be provided in order for the players to lock up and secure their belongings."

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Genie wins a set finally.

It boggles the mind. How could a tournament be this inept? You have 50 weeks to prepare for the tournament. It's just plain flat out incompetence. I'm willing to bet Serena wasn't the only one put out. I sure would have liked to hear the conversation when Serena went to the locker room and discovered there were no more lockers. Maybe the USA doesn't deserve all those Premier events. Send some over to Asia or South America!

pova has withdrawn...she still in love with Dimitrov

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Genie onto second tie breaker (after smelling a match point).

 

[Kirijax]

Two MPs!

 

[Kirijax]

Bouchard finally gets a win since, can't remember when. Braely but a win is a win! She gets Svitolina next.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Gene finally wins a match. :clap
