NH R1: Niculescu d. Pironkova 63 62

Nid.

Monica and her GOAT draws! :lol:

She completely owned Pironkova when they met this year! I hope for a Romanian clash in Round 2, but chances are very small for that! :oh:

is Pironkova allergic against on-court advertising ?
or why isn´t she hardly winning any matches outside wimbledon?
:help: :haha:
well done Monica

Tsveti won 20% of her service points in the second set (4/20). :help:

Once again, I can't comment because the match was not streamed. But if these losses persist, Tsveti will either have to fire Daddy or give up on tennis (except grass court season, of course). She just doesn't seem to want it anymore.

Pironkova was so much fun to watch at Wimbledon, too bad 2011 hasn't been kind to her.

No Venus I see.:oh:

She will wish SO hard to get Venus in the first round so she can win a match outside grass this season :haha:

We will see Tsvetana in 10 months

Its the Venus curse!:lol: :devil:

No Venus, no win.
Though it's not poor Tsvetana's fault that Venus keeps bailing out of tournaments to avoid drawing her master :tears:

Poor Fluky :awww::hug:

Does Pironkova know how to get any other scoreline other than 3&2 and 2&3 :help:

I SO want to roll my eyes.

Rivalry :inlove:
no more 4-hour mugfest

No Venus I see.:oh:
I hope she does not the WS "curse".
Sprem and Sesil know a little thing about that.

Strategic tank to get ready for the US Open. Looming large. :lol:

And CSN. :tape:

Well, at least when the grass season comes back next year, Pironkova will own.

Niculescu's a terrible match-up for Pironkova (she dismantled her at the AO this year too). As soon as Tsveti faces a strong defender who mixes up spin, she just starts bashing the ball everywhere but in the court. :(

piron :facepalm: really bad score...

Ugh I hate Pironkova, every bone of my body. Wish she stopped playing tennis. Waste of space.

Expected. Tsvetlana only cares about grass it seems, clay every now and again, and sometimes hard :shrug:
