Wimbledon Day 8: Tuesday, July 1 - Order of Play

[kskate2]

Good body serve followed by a horrible dropshot from Maria that sat up and begged to be whacked. Kerbie holds 2-1

 

[Si Si Simona]

2-1 amazing get at the net to win the game. I know Angie for a long time. her weakness will be when she will have to finish the match. Until then she will be fine and wont be phased by screamer. She can lose of course but she wont be broken mentally. Only the finish may break her.
She gets TOO EMOTIONAL at end of matches and loses.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Lets push Kerbie to the finish line and make her win so far so good

 

[kskate2]

I like Ang. She often gets pushed around by the big hitters.

 

[kskate2]

40-0 on Maria's serve to deuce. danger time for the Russian

 

[Si Si Simona]

I like Ang. She often gets pushed around by the big hitters.

Her real issue was mental breaks at finish of matches. She gets soft when she needs to kill the match.
Kerbie lost many titles because of that. She got to the final and lost the match.

 

[Si Si Simona]

great hold 3-2 Angie. She plays great so far, real good tennis. She gets to Maria serves with her strong wrist and putbacks.

 

[kskate2]

Maria holds. Kerbie holds as well and we're on serve. 2-3

Kerbie lost many titles because of that. She got to the final and lost the match.

I can agree w/ that. I've seen her lose from winning positions a few times. Remember in 2011 when she was playing Lisicki here in the QF's? She had control of that match and lost it. Sabine went on to lose in the SF to Maria that year.

 

[kskate2]

sloppy game from Kerbie and she drops serve 4-3

 

[kskate2]

both hold and Maria will serve for the set at 5-4

 

[kskate2]

Maria holds and levels the match 6-4

 

[Si Si Simona]

2 chokes by Angie in last game of the set, shame. I hope she keeps her cool in 3rd set.
So far she was fighting real well.
Its the same movie again and again with that crazy screamer

 

[kskate2]

Well she can start by holding her serve and keeping the score close. Maria is not immune to throwing in a muck service game littered w/ errors and DF's.

 

[Si Si Simona]

From this 1-0 to kerbie I am going into silence until the end of the match. I wont jinx her.
At least she saved herself from a bagel

 

[Si Si Simona]

The best thing in British tennis at the moment is this referee. She is doing a great job.

 

[kskate2]

And Maria throws in her muck game and Kerbie is 3 games away 3-0

 

[kskate2]

4-1. 2 games away

 

[kskate2]

5-2. 1 game away

 

[kskate2]

Serving for the match at 5-3, Kerbie is down BP
