:spit: Lino would have had a better chance on clay, she's one grand-slam too late here --
:spit: The commentators after Lino's triple-0 (aces, winners and some other stat).
SIDENOTE : Maria's serve though in the second set, not reassuring -- DFs out of nowhere in the net ?

Yeah I couldn't get that. It was Lino of all players - a guaranteed flop slice return back. She should have just spun the ball into court :lol:
Good match for Pova overall though.
30-17 W/UE
13/14 Net points won

They were in the net, these kinds of double-faults have to do with technique (she was retaking her toss sometimes) but this match was boring as hell, Maria including was bored -- :lol: but she was really going for her second serves, well, it's good she respects her opponent's returning skills I guess if they were somehow existent. :lol:

:spit: too true.
Honestly, unless she chooses to "tune" some element of her game, this kind of match serves no purpose for Maria later on.

NID really.
Moving very well and sharp off the ground, hardly had to try in the second.
Lost rhythm on her serve in her past couple of games but nothing too worrisome.
Onwards Maria.

People always say this, until she faces a good player, and then suddenly those two doubles in a row happen in a service game where Maria is down 15-30.

Serving 2006 style. Won't read too much into those random DFs towards the end as she was basically hitting a 1st serve instead of a 2nd given the placement. Beautiful movement running around the BH to hit those FH winners that won her this title in 2006.
The inevitable semi against Azarenka should be a cracker.

she was serving second like first, intolerant to finish the match

Really was wondering what that Lino girl was doing out there on the court all match long. Congrats Maria.

Sharapova played well. She's moving well and the forehand seems on point.

Probably the wind for the DF's. Maria honestly should ask for day matches if they'll give it to her.
This ESPN interview is really cute though

It's less windy at night.
And she does really well at night matches. They always give her day matches during labor day weekend to fill the tv lineup-- and she's lost several times, to Pierce, Radwanska, Oudin, Pennetta, Wozniacki.

LDL beats sesil then flops like this? Dafuq? We could have seen a thunderous ballbashing extravaganza had sesil made it through

Since I was there for her R1, imagine how bad Sesil had to play to get breadsticked by LDL on this surface. It was 100000x worse.
