Are we going to have separate posts for the 2 ladies quarter finals matches at all?

Makarova v Safarova

Kvitova v Zahlarova Strycova.

Sure, you can make threads for them.

[Si Si Simona]

Simo starts to adapt to the grass after two weeks of training
She said her timing was off in first two matches and only now she starts to get the feel of the bouncing balls. She said that first two matches were very tough. Played only one and half match on grass before Wimby.
Its a bit late I think soon it will be over
Said that she improves by the day now and getting a better feel for the grass.
Said she is not favorite in any match because of the awkward bounce of the balls.

Guess when the rain is coming back in full force? Saturday of course
Two nice days tomorrow and the next. Today its cloudy which means "rain" in Wimby langauge. Yesterday was also "cloudy"...

Good match. Good match Simona, her best so far here.
In control and no stress even after few errors. That was good.
6-3 6-0

 

[Si Si Simona]

One has a thigh problem the other has a shoulder problem. Its gone be interesting.
Storm Simona against Super Sabine in the QF
Another milestone for Simo, her first QF in Wimby. Who could have thought that a year ago? :spacecadet: :emperor:

Am I the only one left on this board? Where has anyone gone? :huh:

 

[kskate2]

It's not where everyone has gone, no one was out of bed quite yet. But I'm here now. How are you Si?

Not bad except for getting daft from the screamers screams. She is heard over the channel

 

[kskate2]

This match is a prime example of Maria not having the time to hit her lethal shots. Kerber is doing just about everything right (she dropped serve when serving for the set at 5-4). 3-3 in the 1st set breaker

 

[kskate2]

SP for Kerbie

 

[kskate2]

Kerbie takes the breaker 7-4

 

[Si Si Simona]

COMN ANGIEEEEEEEE !!! GET THE 2ND SET !!! :idea:
Diaz would have never missed the screamer drop shoot at 4-5 pathetic

 

[kskate2]

The 2nd & 3rd sets are where Maria makes her living. Angie can't lose the plot here. If she goes down an early break, she will likely get steamrolled.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Kerbie doesnt get that the match has started NOW. Too complacent like all other 3 sets losers v screamer.
just came back to 30-30
Angie is tough more than what you all think! I told you on Saturday that she will be a real rival !!

Read my post below yours, same opinion
Those screams are unhuman. I am getting daft just watching on tv, how can the people in the court tolerate these screams? not to mention poor kerbie.
Where are my ear plags?

 

[Si Si Simona]

Kerbie breaks back! She gets to some real hard balls and she fights and doesnt lose her focus.
MENTAL TOUGHNESS people.

 

[kskate2]

But she has to maintain it. Can't start serving powder puffs and DFs. Keep serving to Maria's body and throw her off. 0-30 again

 

[kskate2]

great FH winner by Kerbie to get GP is met w/ an forceful return from Maria. Deuce
