YEC RR: Radwanska mentally finished Zvonareva 1-6, 6-2, 7-5

What a drama at the end :eek:
Defending Agnieszka in 3rd :worship:

Thank you Aga :hearts:

What a comeback, what a match!!

Bepa :haha:

Aga:yeah:

Well done Vera :yeah: :weirdo:

Vera :( Choker

Just jump of a bridge Vera. Yeah I know that sounds harsh, but remember nobody believes she could ever finish the job. :lol:

That third set was unbelievable, especially the second phase of it :hearts: Lots of quality play there by both although I gotta admit that Vera screwed it up at the MPs a bit and her scream :spit: Inspiring comeback by Aga though :cheer: That netcord must be the netcord of the year :cheer: Do your best against Kvitova :)
Oh and Ula was looking great :oh:

What a fighter. I love you so much Agnieszka :sobbing:
Vera :hug:

awful result, nothing good about it

disgusting pusher wins and real tennis mentally collapses

Vera up *5-3 and 3 MPs. Had tons of chances at finishing the points, but did not or made awful UEs. That was spectacular.

So now Aga gets to the semis?

Poor Vera :sobbing:

Somebody kill that fuckin useless German commentator. Wozniacki is out, you fuckin retard.

Aga just doesnt lose to Bepa anymore. Poor Bepa... Aga's got to her head this year big time. I was literally rolling in my bed laughing at the collapse she had. :haha:
Aga :hug: do your best against KviDOGova 2moro :hug:

The 3rd MP that Aga saved was remarkable.

The entertainment!!
Poor Vera!!
Amazing...

Omg that 3rd match point of vera was epic...the grunts... the facial expression after losing the point.. :lol:

brain dead Bepa :rolleyes:

So now Aga gets to the semis?

unfortunately

Now Aga must win a set against Petra? :unsure:

Embarrising!

Vera :fiery:

At least we deserved one mental breakdown or a few smashed racquets :lol:

Aga in the 3rd :worship:

Brain Death in 3 acts - the story of Vera Z.

Yes! What a comeback. Hope she beats Petra now :hearts:
Could tell Vera was just about to burst into tears. Is probably doing so right now.

Aga saved the 3rd MP was epic :hearts::bowdown:

Aga just said: I had to push the ball back all the time...so true :oh::hysteric:

Well done Aga :)
Vera :sad:

She is my favorite pusher, male or female. Great job! That one MP! :o

You idiot. :facepalm:

pushniacki is out, isn't she???
she is 1:2 (34/41), vera is 1:2 (35/37)

this not real, is it?! :hysteric: :cuckoo:

how can you lose such a match?!?!?!?!?! :haha:

best epic choke i've ever seen :eek:

Vera :haha: That screaming on the 3rd MP I think was just spectacular. What a psycho she is!!!!
It must feel horrible for her. She did try to control her nerves but the last two games showed in which distress she was feeling on the court.
Big well done to Aga, what a fight that was!!!!!!!! :yeah: Her sense of anticipation and defensive skills are just out of the world. Dawaj!!!

Vera :weirdo::o:facepalm: No amount of emotions can describe that choke

Yay!! I'm SO happy for her. Glad she got a wn. She should've been two 2-0 if she's managed to close out Caro!

Aga needs to win a set tomorrow to qualify

That was an unbelievable meltdown. I thought blowing the 3-1 game was bad, but Vera had the match won at 5-3, but really fell apart.
There was a point in the 5-4 game where Aga kept giving vera short balls and she couldnt put any away.

Similar to the loss to Cibulkova last week.

Aga "Just push the ball to the other side" Radwanska :weirdo:

Can't believe she just said that. Such an embarrassment to tennis. Can't wait for Petra to swat away those puffball serves and groundies tomorrow.

Vera :lol: :facepalm:
Aga congrats :yeah:

Well done Lady Aga! :hearts:

Back to naked modelling Vera :help:

Vera has that loose screw in her brain for sure. Aga played dreadful tennis first two sets, finally started playing tennis in the third set. I feel sorry for Zvonareva, how TF did she manage to lose it??

Aga, if you intend to play like the first two sets tomorrow with Kveta, just better stay in your luxurious hotel room with all that entourage that came over with you

Aga: "I was thinking, just push the ball to the other side!"

That last set was great, but 55 UEs for Vera. It is so hard to win with that many errors. Sorry, Vera. :(

I still don't get how Vera is completely out now. :bigcry:

Epic facepalm towards Zvonareva.

Vera :facepalm: What a tube. But I'll give her a hug anyway :hug:

Those last few games :hearts: My blood pressure went through the roof.

Aga's defense defied belief on some of those points.

http://i42.tinypic.com/e8nbdv.jpg

Somebody kill that fuckin useless German commentator. Wozniacki is out, you fuckin retard.

It is really annoying how bad the german commentators are informed concerning the system.

I think ZVON. has 35-37, WOZ 34-41 games-.

Vera up *5-3 and 3 MPs. Had tons of chances at finishing the points, but did not or made awful UEs. That was spectacular.

Aga's retrieving skills were SPECTACULAR and you have to admit it. The way she saved the last MP was just totally impossible. Even I'm not a fan of such tennis, but one has to admit - retrieving doesn't get ANY further than what Radwanska showed down 3-5.
Vere is defo suicidal now though :sad:

Vera :facepalm:
Well done Aga - I hope she reaches the SF now. One set is enough, but why not beat Petra too?

And I just can't understand why so many of the WTA players have to be so extravagant and try to hit the drive volleys when the ball is so high in the air.

You just knew Vera was gonna miss the one in the last game :o

And obviously AGA will withdraw tomorrow.

:eek: WTF?

:lol: Congrats to Radwanska. I thought Zvonareva had this one in the bag.

Amazing defense by Rad. Not only she anticipates ridiculously well, but once she gets there she has ridiculous racket head work to be able to push balls from her shoe laces back to the other court, low and angled.

I can't say I'm disappointed with Vera. I can't stand her, especially when she started grunting on mps.

Definitely a match for the lolz. Very fitting that Petra beats the crap out of each, and they all slug it out with each other.

Aga: "I was thinking, just push the ball to the other side!"

That last set was great, but 55 UEs for Vera. It is so hard to win with that many errors. Sorry, Vera. :(

I still don't get how Vera is completely out now. :bigcry:

how is that different than her normal game plan?

disgusting:mad:

Aga:cheer:
Please try to win one set with Kvitty...

Aga :bounce: :cheer:
Now what happens if Petra win her in two??? :confused:
This group is such a mess.

I don't know how many time we saw Vera was in tears when losing to Aga. It's just heartbreaking!:hysteric::crying2: I'm just speechless:sad:

What a fighter Aga:worship: Good luck in Semi. and maybe Final:hearts:

:lol: [...] if someone has to go in SF with Petra let it be Aga, I hope she at least gets that famous set against Petra with a defeat though. Zvo's surreal level of play against Caroline was to high to be true... that's her true unsupportable self...

Aga won their last 4 matches, Zvonareva's record to top players is really taking a toll day after day... :lol: Let's go Aga. :cheer:

what a stupy choker!!!Vera, how dare you!!!!!

It is really annoying how bad the german commentators are informed concerning the system.

I think ZVON. has 35-37, WOZ 34-41 games-.

All beside Marco Hagemann who is not commantating in Istanbul :o

vera:sobbing:
vera should've won one more game! in the second set she converted a point for 5-3 but stupid line judge called her shot out. so is she definitely out already? or does she still have a chance to qualify for semis?

i jut dont get vera can do so well against caroline and yet completely collapse against radwanska

they have almost the same game so it shouldnt be this hard

Aga's retrieving skills were SPECTACULAR and you have to admit it. The way she saved the last MP was just totally impossible. Even I'm not a fan of such tennis, but one has to admit - retrieving doesn't get ANY further than what Radwanska showed down 3-5.
Vere is defo suicidal now though :sad:

Oh when Radwanska does it, it is retrieving skills. When Wozniacki does it, it is pathetic. Hilarious. :oh:

Vere is defo suicidal now though :sad:
She was good at retrieving, but I am sorry: it was all Vera not being able to finish the points. Those drive volleys HAVE to be winners, including on MP. And on the others, she was in such a hurry that she hit them wide out. She really didn't go for it, at all.

Aga was beyond bad up until 3-4 in the 3rd set and still she somehow managed to win this :tape:
way too passive today, please do whatever you can against Petra

i jut dont get vera can do so well against caroline and yet completely collapse against radwanska

they have almost the same game so it shouldnt be this hard

They do not almost have the same game.

Aga actually does stuff with the ball and attacks, making it hard to get into a groove. Since all Caro does is block moonball and bunt things back, it's easier for an opponent to get into a groove with her shots and take over the match.

What an amazing match by both :worship: i thought it was over on 5-3 but they played some INCREDIBLE points, some from Aga were pure magic. :eek:
go for the SF! :)

i jut dont get vera can do so well against caroline and yet completely collapse against radwanska

Because she is stupid. It has nothing to do with what Wozniacki or Radwanska do. Zvonareva had at least 5-10 shots on the three matchpoints that she played into the racquet of Radwanska. Any other place on the court and the match is over.

wow, unbelievable match aga, so sad you couldnt defeat caro the first day, but today she was just too epic :hearts:

if vera didnt mess up that second set she couldve won this! :o anyways i still want her to qualify over aga! she must be exhausted after all the three set matches she played!

how is that different than her normal game plan?

disgusting:mad:

It wasn't her game plan. She said she was thinking that at the end of the match. You realize that Vera had many BPs. Therefore, Aga had to keep the game going, so she was thinking, keep getting the ball across the net. She was trying to win.

I fail to see what is disgusting about it. You have to do what you have to do to win.

I'm sorry Vera lost, because she needs the ranking points and I like her, but she rushed so many returns and just blew it. I also like Aga, but for this tourney, I would have preferred to see Vera go through to the semis.

True. Aga not only bounces the ball back in her opponent side, but creates a lot of difficulties with her shots. :)
Anyway I don't really think Vera was that bad, she played a great match, she was totally in control in first set, and first part of third. But this sport is evil, you don't win until you score the last point. :p

Also, on the 3 match points Vera had, she was too much in a rush of finishing the point, and the result is what we all saw.

Aga "Just push the ball to the other side" Radwanska :weirdo:

Can't believe she just said that. Such an embarrassment to tennis. Can't wait for Petra to swat away those puffball serves and groundies tomorrow.

I just don't think she is going to have any easy time against Radwanska tomorrow. She nearly lost to Radwanska on grass and she seems nearly impossible to beat in YEC, much less in only two sets.

I hope it's in two sets, but I can see Radwanska's defense and Petra's poor errors getting her a set victory.

:haha: :rolls: :hearts: Radwanska hustled her way to another win against Zvonareva. Hopefully she'll put up a decent showing against Kvitova.

Did not see it, but another epic loss for Vera :facepalm: 3 mps what a choker.

I LOVE YOU AGA :hearts:
MY HEART DURING 3-5* :sobbing:

Come on tomorrow!

stupid Vera, just stupid, idiot :rolleyes:

there's nothing disgusting about pushing? there's everything wrong with it

and it sucks that its starting to take over the top of the game

For all the haters saying that Caro is ridiculed for what Aga did today, Aga is injured, did you see her FH she couldn't even swing through it. She was making countless errors with her FH. She realized the only thing that could win her this match were her legs. Wozniacki is 100% healthy. Get with it.

Aga "Just push the ball to the other side" Radwanska :weirdo:

Can't believe she just said that. Such an embarrassment to tennis. Can't wait for Petra to swat away those puffball serves and groundies tomorrow.

Ha! Who's an embarrasment? This was epic 3rd set entertainment all thanks to the ability of radwanska to read the game.

Bepa :facepalm:.

But have to admit, Aga is one tough lady to beat, how she held on to dismiss Vera´s 3rd match point, respect.

priceless :rolls:

oh, a big :no: to zonavera for being so rude to the ballkids.

:lol: Ah the drama..

You are worse than Serena fans. Every time Aga flatout pushes or loses, her shoulder is injured. Every time she wins, she is fine. :rolleyes:

She makes these forehand errors, because she misjudges the (slow) pace of the balls, and doesn´t generate enough power of her own.

I want to see some videos of that 5-3 meltdown :D

there's nothing disgusting about pushing? there's everything wrong with it

How can it possibly be wrong when it looks so right.:lol:

I was at the edge of my seat, laughing and clapping my hands. Vera screaming louder and louder, hitting harder and harder, radwanska running faster and faster.. it was like a climax of a long love making and I almost spilled my red wine. :bounce:

Aga doing what she does best! :dance: Beating Vera! :oh:

If I would be Sergey, I'd do this all night long:

but seriously..pushers are just boring to watch, nothing interesting about them

Did not see the match, it probably saved my heart... congrats Aga :yeah:
Very :hug: ... collect yourself, you still have a chance for SF

:lol: Zvonareva matches are always bastions of unintentional hilarity. Even Safina in full flow wasn't such a tragicomical icon. Even after she cruised through the first set, it was NID that she would still somehow screw it up - she's such a headcase that, as soon as someone gets the edge in a head-to-head against her like Radwanska has done, Zvonareva is destined never to beat them ever again :lol:

And who said all the non-Kvitova matches in this group wouldn't be utter messes? :lol:

Bepa's screams :sobbing:

and you are desperate because your fav lost today again to aga :oh::haha:

At least Zvonareva decides whether she wins or loses her matches, while Radwanska is at the mercy of players like Kerber and Cetkovska. :oh:

I really can't understand how you can compare Aga's game to Caro's game calling it "pushing" for both of them ....

At least Zvonareva decides whether she wins or loses her matches, while Radwanska is at the mercy of players like Kerber and Cetkovska. :oh:

At least Radwanska won some important titles this year :oh:

Too bad I missed this... :hysteric:

Well done, Radwanska! :banana:
(should have beaten the Woz as well ... :o)

At least Zvonareva decides whether she wins or loses her matches, while Radwanska is at the mercy of players like Kerber and Cetkovska. :oh:

Find a seat child, before you put your foot more in your own ass :lol:

Apparently not important enough to be ranked ahead of Vera. :lol:

I really can't understand how you can compare Aga's game to Caro's game calling it "pushing" for both of them ....

well both of their games are boring to watch

and both seem to have the same idea of "push the ball back in play" when they are in trouble and hope their opponent gives them the match

vera did it for her today..but not against caroline yesterday for some reason

lol @ her deciding to lose 4 times in a row to Aga :lol:

Find a seat child, before you put your foot more in your own ass :lol:

At least Radwanska won some important titles this year :oh:

:hi5:

Apparently not important enough to be ranked ahead of Vera. :lol:

After the tournament she will :oh::wavey:

Apparently not important enough to be ranked ahead of Vera. :lol:

You do realize that Aga beat Vera today right? Or are you just completely retarded.?:wavey:

I really can't understand how you can compare Aga's game to Caro's game calling it "pushing" for both of them ....

What is the big difference? Sure Aga has some "nice moves" and tricks up her sleeve, but both depend on their ability to run and to read the game. They prefer staying at the baseline and rally until their opponent misses.

vera imploded and beat herself, nothing else happened

Love this girl.

Also loving the crowd. The tour has been struggling to find an appropriate home for the championships since the turn of the century, and I think this might be it.

There is no arguing with Polish people. 45000 of them paid to see Tomasz Adamek fight Vitali Klitschko, because they thought he could win. :lol: Their delusional patriotism knows no ends. :lol:

Exactly.

Love this girl.

Also loving the crowd. The tour has been struggling to find an appropriate home for the championships since the turn of the century, and I think this might be it.

Agree with this. I was sceptical about how many people would turn up, but the crowds/atmosphere has been great all week. And that's bearing in mind attendances are probably a little LOWER than would otherwise have been because of the earthquake.

There is no arguing with Polish people. 45000 of them paid to see Tomasz Adamek fight Vitali Klitschko, because they thought he could win. :lol: Their delusional patriotism knows no ends. :lol:

Oh boy, you are so desperate :bigwave:

you passed your peak and will never win a slam again :hysteric::oh:

unfortunately

not likely

What the fuck was that. Vera had 3 MPs. And on one of them it was such a EASY shot she had to make. She was just making silly errors. Radwanska defended well but Vera was just BEYOND bad.

Was an entertaining match for sure - really turned round and great tension when it came to all the matchpoints. But the stats for an event like this :eek:, so many unforced errors!

Now Aga must win a set against Petra? :unsure:


No, She must win the match.

What is the big difference? Sure Aga has some "nice moves" and tricks up her sleeve, but both depend on their ability to run and to read the game. They prefer staying at the baseline and rally until their opponent misses.

They are both counterpunchers, but their playing styles are not so similar. For example, there are players like Sam, Kvitty or Ana and their game is based on good serve and forehand. When it's off, they are in trouble. But it doesn't make them similar players.

Exactly.

And who the fuck are you? :kiss:

It means Vera is out? :sobbing:

Vera, why?

It is really annoying how bad the german commentators are informed concerning the system.

I think ZVON. has 35-37, WOZ 34-41 games-.

You are not much better you are in-calculating the Kvitova matcehes that is wrong.

No, She must win the match.

No, she only needs a set to advance

No, She must win the match.

How? If she wins a set, she'll have one set more than Вера.

Aga :bounce: :cheer:
Now what happens if Petra win her in two??? :confused:
This group is such a mess.

The number of set's is of no importans Aga has to Win.

Well, being a counterpuncher I'd say is a playing style. I think they are pretty similar, Radwanska uses more tricks and variety though. the other players you mention I don't think is similar at all...

The number of set's is of no importans Aga has to Win.
no

Nice pushing job from Aga at the end.

The number of set's is of no importans Aga has to Win.

:facepalm:

Aga has to win just a set :rolleyes:

It means Vera is out? :sobbing:

Vera, why?

By no mean she has the tie-breaker

By no mean she has the tie-breaker

If aga loses in 2, it comes to games
if aga loses in 3, she is through
if aga wins with any score, she will be number 1 of the group :bigwave:

No, she only needs a set to advance


No the kvitova number dont count in the tiebreak. it is a tre-way H2H

How? If she wins a set, she'll have one set more than Вера.

It will not count. It is a Tre-way H2H

There is no arguing with Polish people. 45000 of them paid to see Tomasz Adamek fight Vitali Klitschko, because they thought he could win. :lol: Their delusional patriotism knows no ends. :lol:

Well, here is something from a Bulgarian. Do you, and misty1 btw, even watch tennis on TV? Because otherwise I can't explain your behaviour. Radwanska is one of the few players nowadays who not only know what happens on a court but can also actually produce something out of her racket which is not 99% of the time exactly the same. You see, it's not the nationality, it's enough to have a pair of eyes ;).

And something about misty1. Their games are very different, it's shocking that someone on a tennis forum doesn't see it. Although they do read the game very well and don't hit very hard, their games are very different and each has her own strength. The day Caro is able to produce even 50% of the types of shots Aga can, call me. Meanwhile, go watch some tennis and stop talking nonsense. :wavey:

Lady Aga, what a comeback! :hearts: Good luck tomorrow! :yeah:

Oh god :facepalm: I cheered on the 2nd matchball, thinking Radwanska couldn't get one ball... The match today had many quality rallies and it was really dramatic. Kvitova has to win in 2 tomorrow. I like Aga, but I like Vera more.

No the kvitova number dont count in the tiebreak. it is a tre-way H2H

what are you talking gurl? :haha::facepalm:
Only if aga loses in 2, it comes to games between aga, vera and caro

caro is already worse than Vera, so she will be 4th
aga is also slightly worse than vera, so if she loses in 2, Vera will advance, every other score gives aga the SF
and now shut up :bigwave:

Dude, you're really stupid.

Even if those Kvitova Matches does not count for the Head To HEad between the 3 tied players,
Woz AND Vera have lost 26 46, so Vera still has the best percentage!

think what you want

they are both counter punchers. Aga has a few tricks that caroline cant do but in the end they are pretty similar and when they get in troiuble they do the same things. Defend and push like there's no tommorrow and hope it works

Well, being a counterpuncher I'd say is a playing style. I think they are pretty similar, Radwanska uses more tricks and variety though. the other players you mention I don't think is similar at all...

You're right, it is a playing style. :lol: It's been a long day, you must forgive me. :p

What I wanted to say is that their game is not very similar. Caro has more power, but Aga is really more aggressive. Of course, she can't hit those insanely fast winners, so she must be more creative. You can see that she's making an effort to make things happen, while Caro really creates a wall, it's not easy to outhit her. Aga can't create such a good "wall", so she must find other ways, she must rely not only on anticipation and foot speed, but also on smart shot selection, 'cause it's easier to hit outhit her than Caro.

Aga <3

Pla, good writing and dont car of mistyboy - he is just poor sick little boy.

im a girl, you'd think you could tell from the name

think what you want

I do, the problem is I also see what happens when a certain ball meets a certain racket.

Radwanska and Wozniacki are not really that similar. Radwanska is much more willing to change direction of the ball and to come forward to the net. She also has better disguise on her serve and WAY BETTER racquet work and touch. Aga also is capable of flatting out her forehand and slicing much better. Wozniacki has more strength in her legs and core and she is physically a bit stronger. She is a grinder similar to Nadal. She can occasionally come up with some creative shots but we saw MULTIPLE rallies in Aga's match today where she came up with the perfect shot over and over when completely out of position. I think Wozniacki also gets a bit more topspin and rotation on her backhand and a bit more depth at time due to her leg strength. Need I explain further how their games are actually quite different. I will grant that both of them are more counterpunching players to some extent but Radwanska actually moves her opponents around more and opens up the court more.

think what you want

they are both counter punchers. Aga has a few tricks that caroline cant do but in the end they are pretty similar and when they get in troiuble they do the same things. Defend and push like there's no tommorrow and hope it works


mistyboy where are u from? are u canadian? i dont think so.U have to be ukrainian boy:lol:

I'm really really starting to love Aga!
I already appreciated her game but her attitude on court is also amazing.

I really hope she gets to the SF

what are you talking gurl? :haha::facepalm:

Dont be such a smart ass,i wasthe first to establish that Caro was out.

Theese rules are alle after the H2H demand. They are guidelines how to interpretae a tre-way
H2H

But we will se

mistyboy where are u from? are u canadian? i dont think so.U have to be ukrainian boy:lol:

onc again there's a pretty obvious question

id say the canadian flag gives away where im from

You're right, it is a playing style. :lol: It's been a long day, you must forgive me. :p

What I wanted to say is that their game is not very similar. Caro has more power, but Aga is really more aggressive. Of course, she can't hit those insanely fast winners, so she must be more creative. You can see that she's making an effort to make things happen, while Caro really creates a wall, it's not easy to outhit her. Aga can't create such a good "wall", so she must find other ways, she must rely not only on anticipation and foot speed, but also on smart shot selection, 'cause it's easier to hit outhit her than Caro.

Yeah, to this I agree. :)

Dont be such a smart ass,i wasthe first to establish that Caro was out.

Theese rules are alle after the H2H demand. They are guidelines how to interpretae a tre-way
H2H

But we will se

Wtf???? You're wrong in every single way! Are you insane? Jesus. :confused:

Tennis can be a cruel sport :)

Just watched a recording of this match without knowing the result. I can only say - Vera, Vera, Vera what the fucking fuck?????

sweet baby jesus cannot believe Vera choked the match away like that:speakles:
I left it at what? 5-3 and she loses:speakles::facepalm::happy::happy::happy:
I am so shocked and reading your comments is making me pee my pants:help: :happy: :happy: :happy:

WTA drama :lol: Amazing fight, Aga! :hearts::worship:

Feel so sorry for Vera :sobbing:

Aga mentally strong, 3-5 and MPs down and won 7-5 :yeah:

The point when Aga saved MP was brilliant defence :drool:

radwanska for me is on the verge of doing what caro has done the last 2 years, getting that ranking to a place where her draws will be easier and getting a reputation for being very hard to beat or put away in matches.

with some decent draws next year i can see her top 4 or 5 very easily.

especially from 7:38 - never heard Vera so loud!!! :lol:

WTF WAS THAT 3RD MP OH MY GOD. :haha:

Disgusting :fiery: , and this can make the pusher qualifies anyway to SF despite 2 losses :help:

:bigcry:

This time fucking words fail me:fiery:

This was pretty cool :) http://www.wtatennis.com/video/20111027/istanbul-shot-of-the-day-thursday_2256553_2496807

i did not get to see the match, but saw some highlights...and am very happy. i agree with poster who says arad can be top 5 next year, mentally i think she is getting stronger, up the game and serve and please just 5 more lbs of muscle and she could be winning slams!!!!! i do not hate any of the players or the playing styles, when i ws young, graf was my favorite, and i could never understand how she could lose to amanda coetzer...all 5'3" of her. but, now, i like to see the variety...it is the variety which fuels the game...the posts to this only goes to prove, because you can love a player or just love to hate a player....my hating days are over, and even when my player, radwanska, loses to others, i just say good match. a lot of people are calling for the demise of women's tennis.. but it ebbs and it flows, and certain players can hate...in fact if radwanska loses, and even loses horrendously tomorrow. it does not matter, i think she has done alot to validate her ranking and her standing amongst peers in women's tennis today. this year is not yet over, but next year looks very, very promising. good luck to all players!!!!!:worship:

That third set was unbelievable, especially the second phase of it :hearts: Lots of quality play there by both although I gotta admit that Vera screwed it up at the MPs a bit and her scream :spit: Inspiring comeback by Aga though :cheer: That netcord must be the netcord of the year :cheer: Do your best against Kvitova :)
Oh and Ula was looking great :oh:

I AGREE! Very exciting set. I thought Aga could pull it out. Poor Vera, she is a second rate Sveta. Lots of talent but no brains. I just hope Aga makes the semis. I have no clue as to how that is determined. From what I gather from reading here Aga has to win a set tomorrow against Kvitova to advance, not win the match?

Best match so far??

Congratulations Aga, some shots were :eek:

That seems to be the case.

That was interesting... I was so bored the first two sets.

I have to admit the more I watch Aga the more I enjoy her tennis. Never thought Id say that.

But Vera... wow, just wow. She must be feeling so sucky atm.

Any crying or self-abuse??

SO GOOD :sobbing:

I love when my faves play Headcasereva :oh:

Bepa :sad:

It seems like cruel and unusual punishment to let her play ARad anymore.

I hope she has a lovely off season, rests up, and gets her old coach back.

Vera :speakles: that must hurt :unsure: poor girl :awww:
well, hope dies last, I guess :hug:

no BepaMaria???

Aga :cheer:

Aga should have won against Caro too. Apart from Petra it's really hit and miss in that group. It's not too relevant, the winner of the tourney will be Petra or someone from the other group .....

no BepaMaria???

Aga :cheer:

Yea wheere's BepaMaria?:oh: I thought Bepa is still warming up?:oh:

I went to sleep during the middle of the third set when Aga was down a break and too bad.:(
Bepa :haha: :tape: :o :facepalm: Bepa's matches always are this special.:oh:
Aga :eek: :inlove: :cheer: Hopefully Petra will help you.:oh:

Wow :eek: Bepa is Aga's bizatch.

OMFG that 3rd MP..... :hysteric::bigcry:

If Petra straight-sets Aga, I think Bepa makes semis. I almost think that would feel worse for her than not making it. More mental torture...

Talk about a Dagger!!

Vera. How?

SMH

Hugs!!

well that's not a rocket science, she has 5200+ points now with lose to Kvitova and no. 5 has 5700 and 1200 to defend in AO. She worked very hard to get there, and played some great tennis as for her limitations. Not yesterday, where she got super lucky though.

awful result, nothing good about it

disgusting pusher wins and real tennis mentally collapses

Did you watch the Beijing final? Radwanska is hardly a pusher.

pure desperation.

Hopefully this means THE END (roll credits) for this useless bridesmaid.

Oh Vera, go to hell. :weirdo:

:haha:

What a match, I mean the third set... I love the way how Aga defense expecially those match points...

I've had it with the choking. Bye bye, Vera :wavey:

Aga :cheer:

Vera :hah:

after 5 all, when Vera was smiling (looked that for me) before serving... that was sure sign of complete mind meltdown. Forget Fukushima, this moment was more scary. :sobbing:

Too bad the YEC are not in Glasgow. I think the fans would sing "There´s only two Zvo-Na-Re-Vas. Two Zvo-Na-Re-Vas.

After it was reported in the press that Goram had a mild form of schizophrenia, fans responded with a chorus of "Two Andy Gorams, there's only two Andy Gorams".[12] This chant quickly gained popularity, and became the title of a book documenting humorous football chants.
