Sad for Hev. As always frustrated too, she's so much better than this. So happy for Richel after the lows she went through earlier in the year. It certainly seems Dutch tennis is on an upswing at the moment.
Watson terrible but funny to see her pick up tour title this year considering much more talented players play better over the season but end up with no titles to show it for it!
People need to accept that Watson will never happen.
She's decent enough to finish in the Top 100 every year and may have good runs and win some MM tourneys but she'll never break through or become a Top 30 player like some are expecting her too.
You mean besides the fact she was almost a top 30 player before illness stopped her run? The thing currently stopping her is her attitude, she mentally doesn't turn-up, she has the potential, which is bvious when you watch her play motivated.
Surprised some people being so horrible about Hev. She was clearly quite unwell during this match. I hope it's just a short-term virus and not a recurrence of the glandular fever. We'll await the blood test results.
Watson is a nice girl, but I always chuckle when her fans act like she's some world beater with amazing potential. She's just not that good at tennis, get over it :lol:
I don't think any of her fans think that. But to say she is a "puffballer" is ridiculous when her serve has improved a lot, and she gets a lot of aces and cheap points with it and she actually hits the ball quite flat and hard. Pre 2013 she was mainly a defensive player/grinder but that has changed now.
Watson should become a full time doubles player. She has a lot of talent but it never seems to come together in singles. The way she played in the mixed doubles final at Wimbledon was really special. I thought it might inspire great things in her :crying2:
It is really embarrassing Watson is so poor in slams given her ridiculous draws vs so many unseeded players. Her ranking would be so much higher if she brought decent tennis at slams.
Heatha seemed a bit injured at the end, but better player today won :yeah: I also don't get the suggestions that Heatha is an aggressive player. It's out of her comfort zone, but she tries :lol: She still gets bullied around by the likes of Hogenkamp and Beck.. far from the most elite ball strikers on tour...
So happy for Richel :yeah: Side note: I didn't expect it, but she's a beautiful girl in person
