Doesn't seem to be because she got beatdown by Ana after that, but she was prolly just tired. You know, like Ana who loses a match after a tournament victory.

Well done Tati!

whats with all these top players goin out early....Serena,Mauresmo, and now Ivanovic

and dementieva :Dyet another top 5 win :woohoo:

quite sure tati will go to the final...very nice form at the end

Tati, crush Bartoli too please :p

Tati :woohoo:

Beatdown! :drool:

Tati :D

Just wonderful Tati :worship: No words, her best victory ever to me!

Ana :hug:... Enjoy the rest before YEC.

Wow! Good for you Tati :yeah: You are on a roll.

Ana .... I hope you won't be the Dementieva of the YEC :scared:

and dementieva :Dyet another top 5 win :woohoo:

Yup i forgot about her...everybody thought her tities were on fire after she beat Serena...lol look like they got a big wake up call....but i didnt start any mess...i kept quiet...anyway..must be something in the water...top players dropping like flies.

Pathetic loss for Ana, she really needs to cut down these crappy losses it should have been much closer then that. I hope she's saving her best for YEC. A well deserved win for Tati though she's been playing great lately.

Tati :bounce:























Ana :mad: Shame on u Ana!!
I'm fucin scared about Madrid now :unsure:

Congrats Tati! :eek: :worship: :D

Ana :unsure: I hope she'll play better at the YEC.

Congrats Tatiana :)

Allez Tatiana! Amazing win, wonderful! Congrats!

Now that is impressive!

Wow! Horrible effort from Ivanovic. Her indoor season started out so strongly, but the final two tournaments have been disgusting. The loss to Golovin isn't that bad, but the scoreline is unacceptable.

Oh my... What a beatdown. Tati has been playing really well this fall. At times Ivanovic plays brainless tennis. LOL

No, no, Ana can't keep this up. You can't be top 5 and lose a match easily (being better than your opponent) every month. :(
You need consistency to be a top player!

wow im shocked.

Tati :speakles: :hearts:

:woohoo:

:eek:

:yeah:

So happy for Tataina! :D

AI tanks again just like vs yan and bondarenko
ivanovic is gutless
no heart

Well done Tatiana :D I'm really happy for you :)
Ana, get your game together.

just as i thought...:angel:

what happened during the match?
did ana loose it or tati won it?

Fantastic beatdown Tati!

wtg Tati.:woohoo: That was dinner. Dessert is next ;) :lol:

Beatdown :drool:

Marion next :D Whip her ass too!

Nice spanking.People keep underrated her but the results are here lately.Hope she can continue this good form.

humm.. such a shame lol
great victory from golovin !

AI tanks again just like vs yan and bondarenko
ivanovic is gutless
no heart

no, she didnt tank :rolleyes:

what happened during the match?
did ana loose it or tati won it?Actually both :p

Golovin must have been inspired after her bad loss to Rolle at the USO.

Tati :bounce:

Actually both :p

exactly!

:unsure:
:yeah:

Yes! Marion vs. Tati :drool:

IT'S AWWHN :boxing:

Yes! Marion vs. Tati :drool:

IT'S AWWHN :boxing:

it's gonna be a R.I.O.T. :devil:

Tank job?

My tennis-pool.com trade ins for this week: Ivanovic, Gasquet, Berdych. :help:

Yes! Marion vs. Tati :drool:

IT'S AWWHN :boxing:

This will be the first time I'll be rooting for Marion in quite a while. She has become boring with her new high % game - kind of a fat Bammer. But beating up on Golovin is public service.

Doesn't seem to be because she got beatdown by Ana after that, but she was prolly just tired. You know, like Ana who loses a match after a tournament victory.
But Ivanovic and Tati both had a break for a week. Well I think that she was tired in Luxembourg,too.

Oh my! Well done Tatiana!! :worship:

Bartoli's gonna bite the dust with Tati playing like that!:yeah:

:eek: :woohoo: im not so delusional now FANTASTIC. Tati's YEC hopes still alive

Yes, at number 17 in the Race, she has a great chance to make it ;)

Allez Tati! :bounce:

im still waiting for golovin to beat a top player when they arent playing bad tennis.

Nice win tati.

Ana, very disappointed in you. Rest up for YEC. I still don't see what everyone is raving about with Golovin though. IMO, she doesnt have much potential compared to the likes of Ivanovic, Jankovic, Sharapova, Chakvetadze and others. Maybe I'm just missing something :shrug:

I was joking. There was meant to be a smilie there but i submitted it without the smilie and couldnt be bothered to edit it again. anyway, shes not out of the race yet. If she winst her last three tournies, she could be in!

Nice win tati.

:shrug: the thing is, even some fans of hers were writing her off for the top 10 until the fall. She has a unique game to any active player. I think she can go far. Shes 2-1 this year vs ivanovic now :)

What does Tati have to do to make herself the #9 in the race? Because I'm thinking either Maria or Serena isn't going to play the full tournament.

I think tati had HUGE potential, but so does ANA.

Tati has:
good athletic body (can get fitter!)
great ground game
very good serve
good anticipation
lethal forehand
not clumsey (??) @ net

=> all ingredients to make a great top 10 à top 5 player.

hat's more, in Mats Wielander, she has a great (tactical) coach aswell :eek:
Justine better watchout, cuz Wielander recently said something that he wants to acchieve with Tati what Carlos has done (is doing) with Justine...

she needs to win her last 3 tournies.

im still waiting for golovin to beat a top player when they arent playing bad tennis.

of course all her wins over top players have been luck. clearly she has no game.

:rolleyes:

Wilander is so full of shit.

Tati! :woohoo:

Knew you could do it! :yeah:

I still don't see what everyone is raving about with Golovin though. IMO, she doesnt have much potential compared to the likes of Ivanovic, Jankovic, Sharapova, Chakvetadze and others. Maybe I'm just missing something :shrug:

The big thing is she's been hyped since about 2004. She didn't warrant it back then. She didn't have a truly outstanding win (as in, absolutely out of the blue, beyond the realm of most rational possibility) until the Fed Cup that year, and as much as I love Kuznetsova, lots of players can beat her.

Thing is, she hasn't gone away. Unlike a lot of hyped players (Rezai? Linetskaya? Bovina?), Golovin seems immune to personal problems and resilient to injury (she comes back from it as if she'd never been gone).

The first time I credited her with having real potential (more than just being, well, hot) was Charleston '05, when she was clearly the 3rd best player in the draw, and had the toughest draw as well. She's consistently done well on every surface, something that can't really be said for a lot players. She's also developed for herself a fairly nuanced game; in addition to having some power and mobility, she's able to change the pace of the ball effectively, take time away from her opponents, and uses her serve quite intelligently.

Is she destined for #1? No. Is she destined for top 5? Probably. She's young enough to make it big-time, but she's been around long enough to know what it takes. One big result at a major, and she's the third member of the Sharapova-Ivanovic it-girl elite.

What's going to slow her down? Those damn ankles. She's halted in the rankings for substantial portions of her career because she always defends her points (or betters them), but then injures herself right when the big events she could add to her ranking start. How many times has she been healthy for the European clay-and-grass season now, once? Hopefully, she'll make it. She's to engaging (and attractive) a player to lose.

Disappointing result for Ana

:help:

:spit:

:bolt:

tati is a good player :D not many players can take one set from juju :angel:

ana :hug:





























wtf though!!!! :lol:

:clap2: :woohoo:

Ana :mad: :fiery:

maybe tati learnt something from yan zi :angel:

Yes ! Tati :) :bounce:

great job tati:kiss: and good luck:)

awesome! :bounce:

Woohoo now we can have another fun match to watch.

haha yet another slap in the face for the many people who claim Golovin is "average and will be lucky to ever be a low order top 10 player" :o

in the last few weeks she has beaten 3 of top 6 players in the world very convincingly and showed a level play that was too strong for the dominant world 1 number. now she just needs to maintain it :D

Great job Tati! Good luck against Marion!

Nice win tati.

An in form Golovin plays clinical tennis. she makes a very high percentage of aggressive first serve and uses her accuracy for the lines off the ground to dictate play. She shown an ability to dominant pretty much every player on tour with this game.

What you have probably seen is the out of form Golovin (usually coming back from injury) who plays a completely different game that's very tentative and makes her look like a pretty ordinary player.

Ana doesnt care about MM tournaments...she plays the big one (GS & YEC)

Tatiana is still inferior and alway will be to Ana :nerner:

Great job Tati! Is Bartoli next? Isn't there bad blood between these two?

They had a little "fight" in the french medias because Golovin criticized the fact Bartoli didn't want to play the fed cup for france if she couldn't bring her father with her...
Actually, Bartoli has bad blood with ALL the others french players!! :rolleyes:
As a french, i'm happy Bartoli is having a great year because she's helping promoting tennis here, but i really don't appreciate her as a player/person.

Awesome, Tatina! That forehand has become one of the biggest in the game :eek:

Tati!! :rocker: I see karma spared no fans today. :tape: ;) Everybody dropped like flies. :lol:

OMG Ana doesn't give a shit :lol:

OMG Ana doesn't give a shit :lol:

she said on the post-match interview that golovin gave her a tough lesson today ;)

Perfect Revenge
So now Tatina should crush Bartoli, good luck

Ana doesnt care about MM tournaments...she plays the big one (GS & YEC)

This isn't a mickey mouse tournament.

It's a Tier I. :weirdo:

ANA :/ :sad:

yesss!!!!!! well done tatiana! :yeah: I said tatiana would win 6-0 6-1, I only missed by 3 games

yes!!!!! Go Tati!!!!!

Very dissapointing to see Ana lose to a player like Golovin.
Please find some form before the YEC.

Ana doesnt care about MM tournaments...she plays the big one (GS & YEC)

Tatiana is still inferior and alway will be to Ana :nerner:

Considering this was Ana's first big tournament and she has said on repeated occasions that it's one of her favourites i'm afraid i'll have to disagree with you :tape: She also lives in Switzerland does she not?

have you been assigned the role of annoying poster for the week or something :o
