US Open Q2: Julia Goerges def. Shuai Zhang 7:5 6:3

Shuai Zhang led 5-2 in the first set but then choked and lost 57
Shuai Zhang led 3-0 in the 2nd set, had a point to go up 4-0. Then she choked and Julia won 6 games in a row :sobbing:

nice fight Julia :yeah: (she was 2:5 down in the first and 0:3 down in the second set :eek: )

hope she can qualify :D

Congrats Julia ;)

BUT WHAT a choke from Shuai
she led 5-2 in the first set and 3-0 in the second :confused:

:lol: well done Julia! well done :)

So many wasted opportunities, Shuai. :mad: :help:

Shuai Z. is just like Shuai P. No mental toughness. :(

Well done, Julia! :woohoo: Great comebacks in both sets! :)

I was going to make a thread with a retarded threadtitle a la Pierce0415 but decided against it.

very good Julia :woohoo:

Julia :bounce:

Chinese are such chokers :rolleyes:

looks like its time for pierce0415 to eat crow :devil:

Congrats, Julia! :worship:

Shuai :hug:

:lol: Never in any doubt :p

Well done Julia! :worship:

Yes! :)

This is not choking... Julia did the same in Stockholm in her matches. She's just tougher mentally and will be in Top50 at least this time next year. I think even higher.

Julia :yeah: ;)
gave her a head start and still won easy

Shuai :sad: but Julia :yeah: Impressive.

maybe Julia will draw Juju or Venus 1R so we can see her talent on TV :devil:

great fight in both sets Julia !!! :worship: :hearts:

Julia :woohoo:

What a choke,Shuai! :o

Congrats,Julia! ;)

maybe Julia will draw Juju or Venus 1R so we can see her talent on TV :devil:

Var det på tv eller i stadion?

One more win!! :bounce:

Julia :D
Shuai Z :sad:

I must admit Julia is growing on me, never expected her to have a chance to qualify for a Slam. She was playing 10k's last year and only looked like a local hero for Germany.

At least one Grönefeld is probably happy now. :p

tears

shuai is too young to face this situation :p

OMG what a choke Shuai :sad:

good lesson for her :p

Well done Julia :bounce:

Oh Little Shuai. Learn from this, you are playing another level now! ;)

Big BIG thank you, Julia :kiss:
