Ask me about any match you want..Ive probably seen it..Im sorry I stopped doing it daily but I havent been getting home till like 10..but if you want to know about a match just ask
Her serve really wasnt that much of a problem..she came out with no sign of nerves and was going for everything and getting everything..she just looked nervous for some odd reason in the second and her forehand really let her down..Vera sort of picked up her game though..and the 6-0 isnt very telling..the second set was very good but Katya couldnt win the bigger points in the second..
All the youngsters were ok I guess..Kraijeck dissapointed me..I thought she was as good as she was hyped to be..Shumate and Bhargava need to work on there nerves before they do good..
and Jamea played as well as it seems..she doesnt have that one main weapon though..she hits hard from all sides..she runs players around alot but with speed not like Coetzer and Smashnova that just run them with no speed..Jamea needs like a big FH or BH to end points quicker..she has these four strategies sheet she keeps in front of her in all her matches..the top one is:
Remember Nothing - Forget about the last point and concentrate on the next
and she really does that..she doesnt hit softer when shes down MP she actually plays stronger and never gives up..she saved 7 MP
Thanks! Great to hear -- I've never seen her play, I was hoping to see a little of her on the Tennis Channel this week, but no luck. It sounds like she could also use a stronger serve if she wants to advance further!
But glad to hear her groundies are solid.
I love her strategy! That's so important in tennis, such a skill. (In life, as well.)
I havent seen Meghanns matches yet..I will she her SF today though..I saw her practicing with Bepa and Megs coach..she was hitting fine..I really wanna see her play
Like I said before I wasnt that impressed by Michaella..I saw her first round match..I decided not to watch Akiko vs. Kraijeck..I saw some though..Akiko just player her game and was running Michaella everywhere..
I did Cho vs. Serra-Zanetti..Cho really hits harder than the other Asians..I expected her to be a pusher but shes not..she could work on that serve though..
Blah..sorry..I really cant say anything more about Marissa than I did in her forum....Laura played really well in doubles today with Spears but man Yuka/Miho were sooo quick..I dont think there was a ball that got by them..Hana plays well but really needs to work on the serve..she really fights for every point even when down..Meghann hits aces because of placement..she doesnt hit a very hard serve(100-110) but she has a good placement...
The final was really not awesome..I think more Meghann beat herself then Vera beat her..Vera needs to get that mental game though..man..
I got a pic. with Meg and Vera(not at same time )..but Vera and Lex together are soo funny..This girl named Shanya was getting her pic. taken with Vera and Lex was taking it and he asked her age and she said 18 and he said good we can get clevage..haha..then me and my friend Ellie were fighting because I have a Andy Roodick No Compromise bracelet and she doesnt and I wouldnt give it to her and Lex said how old are we and we said 14 and he said tell her youll give her the wristband for 10 minutes in the closet..haha..
O and there was a exho. doubles match because Roddick pulled out and they wanted fans to have fun..Craybas and Arthurs vs. McCain and Hanely..It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen..everyone loved Kelly because she is so small..The ball kids became lines men and vise versa..Wayne kept making the line person who was being a ball kid run for the ball by moving it in all directions..Wayne is really funny..

I told you that Lex is hilarious. When I went looking for nachos with him in Sydney, he was cracking jokes the whole time. Then he made fun of me in front of Bepa :lol:

Thanks for the reports,in the above quote are You saying that Vera wasn't playing that well? and was Her mental state a problem? I was hoping the whole tournament went reasonably calm for Her.
