New Haven R1: Elena Vesnina def. Jelena Jankovic 64 26 64

:facepalm:

Jelena won 5 matches against Vesnina before this match :hysteric:

4hours and 16 minutes of fighting for nothing :o :lol:

Win the USO :yeah:

rest up Jelena :help:

What the hell? Does she not care about their head to head? :lol: Oh, Jelena. Always the drama. Well, rest up after your 4 hour match. :lol: :help:

She is back.:worship:

Lol.

In 3 of her last 4 tournaments, she lost her first match ... then in the other she made the final :silly:

:spit:

Elena finally gets a win there. She needs her good form going into NY.
Majors are big for Elena, singles, doubles mixed

the scoreboard mush have gone crazy no way it was a 4-hour match :lol: JaJa ruining a punchbag :crying2:

:facepalm:

they stopped playing for about 2 hours because of the earthquake

it was not 4 hours, I think they counted that pause in match time

And JJ considers herself USO contender? LOL. Vesnina is almost a walking bye these days.

JJ led 3-1 3rd set and 3-2 30-0 on her serve. :rolleyes:

Plus JJ double faulted on match point. :rolleyes:

The match was maybe 2 hours 10 minutes long since the match lasted a little over 2 hours when play resumed from JJ down 0-2 1st set but 40-15 on Vesnina's serve.

:facepalm:

lol.

Jelena :facepalm:

JJ :o

:tape:

Jankovic needs some obeying and learning. Lose in the first round of USO, please, maybe you would start caring and playing.

I'd love to hear JJ telling journalists how earthquake stopped her from winning...:D

So Cincy Final was the last magical run before retirement for JJ kinda like when Sampras won the US Open. :lol: :hysteric:

Maybe just tired, it can be tough to play six matches in seven days, when you have gotten used to six matches in seven months.

I could say "hahaha" or something else smartass thing, but knowing she doesnt even give a shit, her loses not even that joyful.

Not a big deal. She's coming off a long week.

I'm surprised she even showed up, tbh.

Major major tank in preparation for the USO

JJ :rolleyes:

so true :sobbing:

Appearance fee :hearts:

:spit:

Petrova and JJ :o great example you're both setting.
Anyway, happy for Vesnina, I like her game and glad she beat Jankovic

Sexnina :cheer:

:lol:

:lol:

If she was tanking, she's very foolish - she NEEDS match play still.

And she can't seriously have been TIRED! :lol: Yes she played 6 matches last week, but she'd only had two matches in the whole 11 weeks before that :help:

:facepalm:

Good for tennis. Hopefully the JJ hype will wind down until she improves her serve and stops pushing.

:facepalm:

Wow!

Jelena got the Shake Down by the earthquake, to lose this, after winning the 2nd set. Lol

JJ you idiot :rain:

Tankovic :hearts: Win the US Open now plz :yeahright:

Lena really needed this :) :yeah: :)
now better not lose to AMG :o

Good lord Jelena, I think even Oudin has a win over Vesnina this year :x:

:sad:

Lady JaJa tanks before a major, just like a true top player :inlove:. She's definitely winning the Open now ;).

Lol.

In 3 of her last 4 tournaments, she lost her first match ... then in the other she made the final :silly:

she was lucky to get a walkover from Peng and an injured Petkovic :tape:

Called it.:cheer:

She is back.:worship:

:worship:

So how many perfect head to heads has she screwed up since 09 now?

JJ last week was a fluke! Let's see in NY her passing 2-3 round :facepalm:

And she can't seriously have been TIRED! :lol: Yes she played 6 matches last week, but she'd only had two matches in the whole 11 weeks before that :help:

it takes 4 weeks to make a habit, and 4 weeks to break a habit. Wouldn't be surprised if she was fatigue. That being said... :tape::lol:

She clearly tanked here. Smart decision by the always cunning Empress. Good luck in NY!

:rolls:

She's probably sickened by her previous defeat and is now out mentally for the rest of the year at least :shrug: Might see you in 2012 Jelena if I can be bothered to witness more depravity from my fave :kiss:
