Does I need to get my eyes checked?

Middle of the 3rd set in one hour? That's unheard of.
Nadal would be up 3-2.

Why is Rodionova-Ivanovic suspended and the other matches still going?

Becca and Jarka mid-third set after AN HOUR OF PLAY? :speakles: That HAS to be some kind of record.

Yet if it's raining why does the google forecast have a little sun poking out at me?

Tsveti/Gisela stopped first.

Does I need to get my eyes checked?

Middle of the 3rd set in one hour? That's unheard of.
Nadal would be up 3-2.

The guy needs some time... to do the hair thing, the ass thing...

Long break in the Dulko/Pironkova match. Is there an MTO? :unsure:

Fail. Didn't see dentine's post.

Rain :(

Now 2 hours rain so ES will show Marions... ;)

don't they have roof?

don't they have roof?

Only on the center court.

I would expect that match to resume shortly as the roof probably was open when the rain started!

Back in action on the center court only!

Ana/Nasty are back :cheer:

Ivanovic DFs the break back. NID

Anyone else getting an error message from ESPN 3?

Oh, ok, it's raining there? Can anyone post at what score the other matches got suspended?

Zheng 5-5...

Dulko 6-6...

Gajdosova 1-6, 6-2, 6-5*

Now mp for Marion.

It's raining now in Tokyo?

Date-Krumm vs Minella now on Eurosport.

Mandy on TV. A rare sight for sore eyes. :hearts:

Coaching in German. :oh:

Keep Fighting Kimiko!!

Hello?!!?!?!?!

when will there be live streaming?

Laura's return is better than I remember it. Or maybe it's just Ana's serve.

Robson hits four return winners but can't break Ivanovic's opening service game. Only Laura. :facepalm:

5 aces in three games for Ivanovic. Quite surprising that she can hit them off of such a terrible toss... Is Robson that bad at returning serve?

Why hasn't Laura turned pro yet?

Laura saving BP's :worship:

Unfortunate DF sets up set point for Ana.
7-5 Ana

LAURA you were playing so well.

Ana hasn't had to do anything so far, except hit a few timely aces. Laura has played okay, but as usual, failed to win the big points.

Ana is a shadow of her former self :help:

Laura dominating now, up *3-0 in the second. She makes Ana look like a pusher. :lol:

Laura is in epic ballbashing mode now. Hitting quite well. Ana keeps absorbing the pace but can't sustain it.

EDIT: Ana holds for 3-2. Laura again fails to win the important points.

Laura can win this. Needs to keep the mental demons out of her head.

From 3-0 to 3-4... Why are all the good tweeters headcases? :facepalm:

Ana Ivanovic and Laura Robson are both jokes to the WTA :lol:

From 4-4*, 40-0 to *4-5. Sabine Lisicki, I think you have yet another friend in women's tennis.

Robson is just pathetic on big points.

SlumpSur 101

Stosur sucks. 15 UEs in one set.

Set 6-2 for MashaK :eek: :)

Stosur is back to being Shanksur. Only now, she is a US Open champion. Can't take that from her.

Kirilenko hasn't done much yet.

stosur to resume all tvshows, interviews about flushing meadows after 2 sets in tokyo...pls..

The quality of this match has plummeted. On serve in the second at 3-3.

Kirilenko's choking :oh:

It ain't over 'til it's over! :rocker2:

DF to give away the set :bowdown:

horror tennis from reigning uso champ,
donald young could've won wta uso 10 times in a row.

LilMasha:eek: What a pickup:bowdown:

LOL. Somewhere in Miami (or wherever the hell she is) Serena is shaking her head and she doesn't know why.

Can Maria hold 2 more times... :scared:

Lets go Sammy!

Ugh Sammy, she makes me so pissed when i watch her.

She Did It! :)

What a match by Kiri! :yeah: But Sammy 45 Ues :o

SlumpSur 4 LYF

Jarka has already mentally checked out of the match...

Surprisingly competitive for 2 1/2 games. Wait Gajdosova has a coach, there is somebody telling her to do this? :tape:

hahaha omg Wozniacki is so funny when she goes in for a fh smash or volley. Legitimately gets a laugh out of me.

Wozniacki seems to have improved her first serve - I think she's hit 5 aces now. Second serve has shown no improvements though.

Serena provided the blueprint on how to beat Wozniaka and they won't follow it......when you get her to hit a defensive shot, come to the net and put the ball away. That stops her defensive skills immediately. I guess not every player is able to change up their games to fit the opponent.

Jarka is having a good patch, although she's still spraying errors on important return points.

Jarmila, hang in there bby :sobbing:

bloody hell Jarka. Please break back.

Well I hate to break it you, but Serena didn´t invent the wheel there. She isn´t the first to do it or suggest it.

Gajdosova really looks like she is about to cry after every bad miss. Poor girl really carries her heart on her sleeve.

Those UEs are ridiculous.

Jarka :tape:

Braindead basher. :o

Good to see Gajdosova lose

gadjjy's havent put her personal problems off the court yet,
she should do so in time,
lets hope she has a good AO next yr,
she's at her best yrs where tennis is concerned afterall.

Jarka has already overachieved by winning five games. Anything more is a bonus.

Well I hate to break it you, but Serena didn´t invent the wheel there. She isn´t the first to do it or suggest it.

Gajdosova really looks like she is about to cry after every bad miss. Poor girl really carries her heart on her sleeve.
OK, tell which opponents have played that strategy against Caro......list them as they have been so many.

She has such a good game. Take it this time!

COME ON! Jarka saves 2 MPs and breaks back by spraying winners. :hearts:

OK, tell which opponents have played that strategy against Caro......list them as they have been so many.

LOL...Schiavonne, Stosur just to name a few. Also coming to the net isn't even a requirement as McFail already proved

OK, tell which opponents have played that strategy against Caro......list them as they have been so many.

Who said there were many?

I´m the very inventor of the TF topic: "If more than ten players knew how to appaoch the net and volley Wozniacki wouldn´t be #1."

But examples would be

Schiavone French Open 2010
Zvonareva US Open 2010

Wait a minute why is that score 5-5? :lol:

Good stuff Jarka. :cool:

Wozniacki is now serving to stay in the second set. Fuck yeah, Jarka. Turn on your return game now.

Mental Strength

So obvious that ball was in, nice influencing the linespeople again with the hand signal. That Woz is a tricky gamer.:lol:

ugh Eva. Should've been deuce.

ugh Eva. Should've been deuce.

Wait Eva overruled. :mad:

Serena was right, she ugly inside. :lol:

bullet time

Mental midget is going to win 2nd set :woohoo:

Jarka 3 Set points

Set for Jarka :eek:

:rocker2:

YESS!!! Set points!
Many errors from Wozniacki in the tiebreak.

what a hot mess

things look quite easy for Jarka when she gets the ball in play:devil:

The Woz played a garbage breaker, to be fair. :lol:

:speakles:

Gajdosova defended thoser SPs well and played better than Wozniacki afterwards. But -i don't like how calm she is on court, no positive emotions at all.

I'm not getting my hopes up for the third. Wozniacki was 2010 Wimby bad in that second set TB. She'll step it up.

Mental Strength

:devil:

Holy**** is Wozniacki mentally damaged or what. If Woz makes the final or even wins the tournament in her current constitution every top player should be shot.

The Woz played a garbage breaker, to be fair. :lol:

But to be fair to Gajdosova the three points from 3-3 were fanatstic.

She's been fantastic since the saved MPs. :)

Wozniacki should stay away from the net.

OK, tell which opponents have played that strategy against Caro......list them as they have been so many.

Schiavone and MJMS have both used this tactic but Gajdosova isn't comfortable at the net. She just strolls into the net and gets passed or lobbed.

Radwanski :lol: That was amazing :haha:

That overhead will turn the set, although Gajdosova has been the better player in the set so far. Gajdosova really should have broken in that game.

Someone on twitter just commented Wozniacki is dressed like a custard cream. :lol:

Jarka really needs to stop giving chances away. This is exactly what Woz needs to win this match.

*sigh*

Sorry to the Aussie fans ;)

But both lost against the better player on the day... Even Caro played so badly she was on her way to lose it... :o

Anyone know which matches Eurosport will show today?

Julia-Masha (8.45 cet)
Caro-Kaia (10.00)
Aga-Jelena (next)

Anyone know if there are streams for Zvonareva/Benesova?

Anyone know if there are streams for Zvonareva/Benesova?There won't be streams for this as well as Ivanovic/Kirilenko I'm afraid. Coverage only starts at the 3rd match on center court for the previous two days and I assume it will be the same for today.

That sucks! At a premier event. :rolleyes:

Especially Ivanovic/Kirilenko - that would be such a male audience magnet!

If ES decides to show Masha-Julia LIVE at 8.45, they may show the MashaK-Ana delayed if, MashaS finished before time...

That sucks! At a premier event. :rolleyes:

Especially Ivanovic/Kirilenko - that would be such a male audience magnet!

this is so true My friends only know Maria, WS, Belgians and 'the hot chick that isn't Kournikova or Vaidisova'. :lol:

marion 6-2 3-0 :unsure:

4-0 15-15... allez :)

shushu :help: :spit:

Marion serving for match. But is Peng injured?

Shushu is playing like shit

Marion serving for match. But is Peng injured?

Maybe she's tired from playing two matches yesterday

Peng got a game, but 62 61 :)

why is everyone dfing like mad in this tournament? Vika has already hit her 4th df and it's only the first service game. And those that don't usually hit aces or hit df regularly manage to rack up a few hundred aces (Caro, Masha, Ana).

does anyone have livestream?

Vika better step up her game.:o Losing 2 service games early in the match?:facepalm:

Vika :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

does anyone have livestream?

no livestreams outside center court, and that's not until Maria vs. Julia. :facepalm:

Yes! One break back, now hold you crazy DFing child.

Yeah I also found that. Thought someone else would find one.;)

Vika :smash:

Oh My God An Ace!

Vika's awake now :D

Can Ana please win asap? I really want to catch Maria's match before I go out for the night...

Finally back.:cheer:

Now it's Klara's turn to give gifts, 2 DFs in a row and Vika breaks ... 5 games in a row :)

See, this score right here is exactly why I don't place any faith in Ana Ivanovic anymore, nor will I ever again. This is a totally winnable match and a chance to gain points, and she's playing like a chicken with her head cut off.

Kiri :woohoo: Vika broken back though :facepalm:

I wonder if Ivanovic is injured. Long delay on the last changeover...

Anyone else notice the Japanese voice overs on all the popular songs? :lol:

Anyone else notice the Japanese voice overs on all the popular songs? :lol:

So that's what that is. I thought they sounded off key. :lol:

ugh. I hate how bitches get lucky on one important point and it pretty much costs a break. 4-4 instead of 5-3. :rolleyes:

Anyone else notice the Japanese voice overs on all the popular songs? :lol:

No wonder why i heard baby by Justin Bieber but didn't sound like him. Then i heard Firework by Katy Perry but didn't sound like her.

ugh. I hate how bitches get lucky on one important point and it pretty much costs a break. 4-4 instead of 5-3. :rolleyes:

haha, your fav is the russian grunter and you call jules a bitch :lol:

haha, your fav is the russian grunter and you call jules a bitch :lol:

calm your tits, it was in the heat of the moment. I don't actually mind Goerges.

I get happy when I see Sharapova double faulting.

I like Goerges and I think she has potential, but damn can she play poorly. Thankfully she is getting it together now.

Also, could the crowd be any less involved? These Asian tournaments lack life.

Worst part of the tennis year.

Amazing job of gifting Pova that point. :sobbing:

I agree. I fall asleep in every non-masha match...

omg Maria's mishits today are jsut :tape:

When that lines woman called out, it sounded like a Kvitova grunt.

I get happy when I see Sharapova double faulting.

LOL

When that lines woman called out, it sounded like a Kvitova grunt.

:lol: You're totally right.

God this match is awful.

Every point in this match is a coin toss. It could be genius, it could be club level.

what a gift from the russian...

What a hot mess.

I'm rooting for rain at this point. Or maybe a meteor shower.

what a gift from the russian...

And 2 gifts in return... :rolleyes:

HLY SHIT AT THAT SPIN. I can't even. :hysteric:

Was that the wind just now?

Coach isn't gonna help unless he's got a spare brain with him.

she lost the tiebreak 4-7 :o

the match is gone, jules as usual...

german player's can't win against that russian :rolleyes:

Maybe the second set will be better.

Here's hoping!

*she is supposed to be more intene and use angles forehands
*the coach said
*you were the better player for me
*and she was like
*YEAH BUT IT IS SEVEN SIX
*and the coch said to shut just up for a second and listen to him

Coach and Julia's exchange.

No, Julia was worse. Her groundstrokes have absolutely no consistency and she has a terrible attitude.

I think the crowd only claps when one of them yells "Come on!" :lol:

Last thing he told her was to be more consistent. He knew she couldn't talk back at that point. :oh:

OMG :haha: 0-40.

Can they both lose?

Amazing serving from Sharapova :yawn:

That's how you break back, Julia. Three double faults and a lolwut error. :drool:

i can smell the next break. 15-40 :tape:

:haha: Dear God...

Julia gifting that break back by allowing three lovely winners. :facepalm:

I just remembered the thread about wooden rackets. Well, neither of these two would be in top 100, I reckon...

Oh god will you two make up your minds. First you can't break your opponent's serve, and now you can't hold your own. Hot mess match.

Maria just can't hit a BH DTL.

2nd set... 4 games, 4 breaks :help:

2nd set... 4 games, 4 breaks :help:

Oh good I need something to send me back to sleep been awake for the last 3 hours after only getting 3 hours sleep!

Kaia looks super fit than ever!!!!:eek: :worship:

Kaia looks super fit than ever!!!!:eek: :worship:

..but does she know Woz´s stronger side is the backhand? :confused:

this match is so bad so far :facepalm:

Kaia making faults all over the court and Karolina just puhisn back :help:

was this the first winner? :eek::lol:

Woz's FH is so short, that it is even good now :hysteric:

the ball kids are great :oh::haha::hysteric::oh:

Is Kadir Woz's personal umpire?

The ballgirls outfits look so scruffy. Can't believe they are Ellesse.

Kaia isn't using hef brain tonight.

Look at this, usually eagle-eyed sugardaddy Kader trying to gift his girl some breakpoints. :lol:

Kadir . . . wrong overrule.

Look at this, usually eagle-eyed sugardaddy Kader trying to gift his girl some breakpoints. :lol:

:haha:
such a jerk, without him overruling, caro would have lost the point and one challenge :oh::o

Kaia just has to cut down the UE :shrug:
the ball was IN :hysteric:

Kadar :smash::o

great calls and overrule in this game... really

OMG poor Kaia had the game, if she challenged. :lol:

Guess Kader couldn´t see that the ball was in. :oh: ;)

Kaia is in the match now :cool:

WozWoz :bigwave:

Kaia...is she awake?

kaman :hysteric:

Kaia looks so slim in Tokyo :eek:

I haven't seen her for ages, and now she looks amazing :inlove:

what about playing a drop shot being 2 meters in front of the net and caro 3 meters behind baseline??? :rolleyes::oh:

caro would have none challenge left, if Kadar wouldn't be in love with her :lol::rolleyes:

caro arguing with kadar :haha:
He should switch off hawk-eye... me thinks :oh::haha:

Players need to step into the field, after they attack Wozniacki´s forehand. Sometimes they are really surprised by the short reply.

WTF is she crying about? Wow that should have been a warning for gamesmanship? She challenged and was wrong. Is she nuts?

k'maning it up but failing to get the break so far.

where is Eva when you need her? :rolleyes::happy:

Pathetic Woz. She even challenges the hawkeye outcome. :tape:

LOL, that should have been 0-30. Caro is really lucky.

Caro don't know what to do :oh:

Pathetic Woz. She even challenges the hawkeye outcome. :tape:

Like I said: she wanted Kadar to switch it off, because daddy paid the japenese lineswomen money in favour of Caro :oh:

that serve was out as well :facepalm::o

That was really poor from Kanepi after 0-30.

OMFG :fiery:
STFU German commentator, I wanted to hear Piotr :mad:

Kaia should have broken there. She had it all set up.

all these players hitting one brainless shot after another:facepalm: And then they wonder why this opportunist sits at the top of the rankings...

Woz looking jaded at Piotr's spiel.

Kaia come on :cheer:

Kaia is outplaying Caro, hopefully she can break her now :cheer::oh:

Kaman :weirdo: are you serious? :weirdo:

:spit: That was pathetic :spit:

wonderful mis by Woz :banana::woohoo::cheer:

Kanepi has it on her's raquet :banana:

Kaia, Kaia, serve it out!

Win or lose, right now Wozniacki struggles more and more to win matches regardless of the opponent.

Win or lose, right now Wozniacki struggles more and more to win matches regardless of the opponent.

This, defiantly this.

that UE on deuce :spit:

Didn´t sopmebody scream challenge on the 1st serve? If a Japanese crowd gets vocal, you should listen. Although it sounds like a drunken USO tourist.

Who didn't see that DF coming?

gets it done despite the mini-choke :yeah:

Kaia just needs to keep the ball in the court it seems...difficult task I know

:bowdown:

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqrlhmKdKs1qaqwxm.gif

She took the set, but Kaia keeps letting Caro dictate.
