Jules:bowdown:
Clay Queen is back:cheer:
Who? :lol:

Marion. :tape:
Awful loss.

Jules :drool: that's the way. :hearts:

:drool:

now against angie :wavey:

:banana:

Jules:bowdown:
Clay Queen is back:cheer:

I never knew Justine came out of retirement again :angel:

Please come back, Gorgeous. :sobbing:

and it's not like Julia is playing great - worrying times for bouncing Marion

YAS Julia. :cheer: Great scoreline.
Too bad we didn't get to see it. :sad:

The fall cometh rapidly for Bartoli.

Betcha Bartoli can't wait for the grass season to start

It's funny how the pretenders are all falling down the rankings back to where they belong, 2012 has been a great year so far

good stuff

How did Bartoli reach the semis at RG :unsure: She's gonna loose so many points :oh:

Julia :cheer: I'm glad for her.
No big surprise, Marion isn't that good on clay.
She probably won't do nearly as good as last year at RG. I just hope she has a good grass season.

NID. They played on clay and we all know how Bartoli is on clay(ignoring last years RG SF).

The fall cometh rapidly for Bartoli.

Yeah, because its not like shes been shit on clay before :rolls:

It's funny how the pretenders are all falling down the rankings back to where they belong, 2012 has been a great year so far

Which is why shes actually risen 2 spots since the start of the year then...

Yeah, because its not like shes been shit on clay before :rolls:

this.

but still, dissapointed. :help:

Some people here :help:

Didn't Bartoli beat Goerges last year at RG? But of course, one match means Bartoli is falling down rapidly and Goerges is in peak form again. Sorry guys, I haven't been on this forum for a while so I need some time to get used to TF laws :lol:

Bartoli had defeat written all over her against Goerges on clay...:awww: on to the grass.

Jules :inlove:

Good work Jules :yeah:

Julia :D

Marion on clay :o

... is not always as sucky as she was today :shrug:

This. All the leftovers from 2011 are being purged and I'm loving it. Glad we've gotten rid of Schiavone and Zvonareva already.

Yeh next time 'pova has a slump we'll all remember you said that.:)

Julia :eek::bowdown:

Champions don't slump. You can hate Maria all you like, and her form may be questioned all the time, but she did in her career what 95% of the tour dreams of since they were little girls.

Maria's "slump" was a post-shoulder surgery rehab. Call it what you want :wavey:

Nice going Julia! :worship:

don't be so puerile. :rolleyes:

Vika took three months out of Bartoli in Miami. Bartoli might have won the battle, but she lost the war. :angel:

Seriously the crazy schedule Bartoli maintains is catching up with her. She has 40 tournaments plus Hopman Cup since the start of 2011. Just for comparison Azarenka has played 28. Radwanska has played 30. Wozniacki has played 32. Bartoli has been going nuts for 18 months. :lol:

wow you are REALLY fucking stupid...:tape:
so you have no respect for a GS champion (Schiavone) or a two time GS finalist (Zvonareva)...?:help:
i wonder do you actually ENJOY tennis, or just enjoy berating GREAT players...?:confused:
Bartoli has spent the last 6 and a half years in the top10/20 so you havn't gotten rid of her yet...:wavey:

Bartoli's slumping so bad after that win against Azarenka :sad:

NID this. I just hate she gave this overhyped joke some easy points. Julia does nothing good for the game.

Julia :yeah: :woohoo: :D
nicely done :)

Marion looks REALLY unfit

As for Goerges, maybe if things go her way she could do what Pierce did at RG in 94, though I don't think she's near as talented, but you never know

I really think people are overreacting. One good clay tournament doesnt make up for the 99 other shit ones she played :weirdo: She suffers losses like this every year on clay.

Zvonareva's still in the top 10 isn't she?

Zvonareva's still in the top 10 isn't she?

Yeah, shes also been suffering from very persistent injury problems so revelling in her poor year is in quite bad taste...

Julia was quite impressive today, few mistakes and lots of winners. Will be interesting to see her tomorrow against Kerber!

Marion :o

RG is coming too fast :scared:

bartoli can only win matches on clay if her opponent has a weak serve and plays as one-dimensional as her, plus, it has to be very fast and dry clay court.

Einfach wunderbar, Julia! :bowdown:

First win over Bartoli. Beating a Top 10 player 6-3 6-1 :inlove:

Well done Julia :)

i saw the 1st set, the match has never been in doubt.

she played really well.

That SF at RG was such a fluke
