The paper at the end!!! :haha: x10000000000000000

Bammer d. Kuznetsova 6/3 7/6 (10/8)

Great Job Sybille :yeah:

Kuzi :hug:

Great win, Sybille! Keep it up! Down for set points in the tie-breaker, although Sybille had three match points at 63 65 15-40 and one at Ad-Receiver.

That's a bunch of points gone undefended for Sveta. Oh, well...

Yay!!

macth point was replayed three times :eek::eek:

Well done!...
conditions + Venus = :scared:

lmao @ the last point being replayed 3 times. :tape:
The quality of the match was apalling... at least from what I saw. Congrats Sybille thou.

Kuznetsova, what happened?

Good job Bammer.

sVETa :o

My god Kuzy that was really bad:o

Sybille:worship::worship:

Ugh another Sveta stinker. Somebody shake that girl please. Sybille though finally a decent result.

omg poor sveta but now JJ has the chance to become number 2, no?

How on earth did Kuzy ever win a slam :o

well done wind :o :o

4th MP had to replayed 4 times cos of a piece of paper.

Sveta was fighting the wind
Bammer was using it

Yep, Sveta is definitely serious about becoming #1 :yeah:

With her amazing forehand which was displayed at times during this match!...
conditions got to her a little bit :hug:

well done wind :o :o

4th MP had to replayed 4 times cos of a piece of paper.

Sveta was fighting the wind
Bammer was using it

So, in other words, "well done, Bammer."

Wow, Bammer comes back, good game from her.

Paper. :haha:

what a match :spit:

Actually I'm sorry for Sveta losing to Bammer.
stupid...
It's the wind..Bammer staying focused not trying to risk too much..Sveta on the other hand...
ah...
not the fan, but still I hate that she's out so early.

Great win, Sybille :).

Funniest moment of 2008 - "Groundhog Day" on matchpoint :haha: :haha: :haha:

UE comparison:
Bammer:27 Kuznetsova:51 :o

Sveta :help:

Her game is so depends on wind As it was - years ago as it is now//////

Well done Sybille :worship: You look so fit.

Sveta :awww:

that was the most dissapointing match of my life:sad::sad:
Congrats Sybille:)

Props to Bam Bam.

She's slowly back on track.

The match was bad but BamBam obviously played smarter and clevier@the wind.

Funniest moment of 2008 - "Groundhog Day" on matchpoint :haha: :haha: :haha:


:haha:

Kuznetsova want to be world number 1??:haha:

:lol:

Funniest moment of 2008 - "Groundhog Day" on matchpoint :haha: :haha: :haha:
:haha:

What a MP!:rolls:

I was going to rush to the toilet while waiting the match to end!:o

But way to go Bam Bam!:yeah: Finally two wins in a row!:D
Sveta :o Her unforced errors are like around 50 when the match ended I think.:tape:

ridicule and more ridicule...give kuznetsova a break yea she played quite bad but alot was in part to the wind not that that should be an excuse for losing as Bammer was the better player including coping with the wind. This is just one match she is still one of the best players on tour.

Another easy draw wasted on and by Svetlana...:help:

Congrats Sybille! :) Good job winning in two.

And what was so funny about mp?! Can someone elaborate for those who didn't get to watch...:awww:

Everytime I have to see a Kuznetsova match I am shocked what a joke of a player she is actually :o And her style of play as well as her annoying grunt (why does she also grunt when the opponent hit? :o) makes me happy not having to see a Kuznetsova match again this week. :)

Sybille. :banana:

And what was so funny about mp?! Can someone elaborate for those who didn't get to watch...:awww:

they had to play it again and again cos a paper kept being blown onto court
took 4 attempts :lol:

Sveta :help:

the wind won today :o

bugger :sad:

at least Ana wont get too far ahead in the rankings :p

sybille :banana:

Svetlana. :o :help:
Terrible conditions out there.

Congrats, Sybille :yeah: I really didn't think she could pull it off after such a long match with Monica.

So since Sveta didn't defend her finals points she will move down behind Ana and Jelena right? Assuming Jelena defends her points...

And she will also lose her Dubai points this week (as well as Jelena) since Doha and Dubai switched places. Poor Sveta :sad:

Better luck next Sveta. Calm down wind :lol:

Kuzy needs a new coach and attitude.

So since Sveta didn't defend her finals points she will move down behind Ana and Jelena right? Assuming Jelena defends her points...

And she will also lose her Dubai points this week (as well as Jelena) since Doha and Dubai switched places. Poor Sveta :sad:Doha pts from last year will be taken out after Dubai. #2 spot depends on Jelena. She's gonna take it if she reaches the final.

So, in other words, "well done, Bammer."

Exactly. This Egghead is way too biased for a mod.

Oh TheBoiledEgg... someone just throw down the gauntlet..... :wavey:

Oh ok thanks :)

OMG Svetlana :help: :smash:
I really hate how Sybille is playing.. Why didn't she take some risks on MP's?
waiting for an UE of your opponent is so cowardly in my opinion.
And I hate this weather too :sad: Will it be the same next week in Dubai? :o

Sveta :smash: :rolleyes:

Congrats Sybille :)

Sveta was fighting the wind
Bammer was using it
i guess that means bammer was the smarter one today.

I didn't see the match so I can't comment but naturally it's a very disappointing result. Svetlana is in a mini slump so only hard work will turn that around. Thankfully she's playing next week. Not having played for a month couldn't have helped sharpness etc. But I hope she just keeps persevering and she will see progress soon.

In the meantime I think Sybille is a good player and a nice girl so congrats to her on a good win today.

First top 10 win for Sybille :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Congrats Mummy :worship: :hearts:

OMG Svetlana :help: :smash:

Why does Sveta have to play brainless power-tennis when it´s windy?

i guess that means bammer was the smarter one today.

bammer was playing with the wind - sveta against it. again very smart play by sybille! good movement and she looks super fit! great for sybille after her illnesses like the flu, back problems, footinjury..:)

kuzy :hug: play better next time ok?

kuzy :hug: play better next time ok?

Well said

God..
Chakvetadze losing in early rounds...
sad for IVanvic..
and Kuzzy...

now for JJ... how wil she handle it
and Juju winning Antwerp with that draw...
yuck..

Great timing for a big result for Sybille ahead of Indian Wells in a few weeks!

Everytime I have to see a Kuznetsova match I am shocked what a joke of a player she is actually :o And her style of play as well as her annoying grunt (why does she also grunt when the opponent hit? :o) makes me happy not having to see a Kuznetsova match again this week. :)

Sybille. :banana:

Couldn't agree more :lol:!!!
Sybille was obviously a tough player to beat though in such conditions.

Shitty tennis,it's impossible to play good under these conditions.
Stupid winds.It ruined the quality of tennis and what is worse it ruined the patience of Sveta that ended up losing it.

Congrats to Bammer who made the better match and is very entertaining player to watch also.Hope she gets far in the draw :D


As for Sveta :sad: :sad: :sad: I think it was not a good idea not to play for 1 month...Better luck in Dubai,sweetie :kiss:

OMG I lost vcash on you Sveta:tape: You're helpless:o

Sveta :hug: :kiss:

Bammer :woohoo:

finally a good tourney this year to her :yeah:

Awful loss for Sveta. And after losing to Aga that's 2 crap tournaments in a row, both big tournaments.

the paper at the end cracked me up :lol:
congrats Bammer

Oh Sveta :o

Sveta :( :smash:

It is a seed exodus today it seems! All the top seeds are dropping like flies.
At least it gives lesser-ranked players a higher chance of a shot at the title.

Sveta :sad:
I thought she would win the tie-break after she saved match points before...:fiery:

F*cking wind....:o

It is a seed exodus today it seems! All the top seeds are dropping like flies.
At least it gives lesser-ranked players a higher chance of a shot at the title.yes,and that very deservedly so.although i am a big fan of sveta,i am very happy for sybi-baby,who is a pretty hard worker on the tour,and she won it fair and square.like the commentator said,you have to be able to deal with the wind,thats also a sign of quality...so,siby,keep on doing it!!:):)

Oh Sveta. You have too much game and talent to lose to mediocre players like Bammer and Aga :rolleyes:
Get it together quick please :help:

Well done!...
conditions + Venus = :scared:

And add a crafty Dominika to the mix too :scared: :lol:


Sveta :( but well done Sybille

sveta WTH? :tape:...goldenlox :sad:

:woohoo:

Oh Sveta. You have too much game and talent to lose to mediocre players like Bammer and Aga :rolleyes:
Get it together quick please :help:

oh come on,be fair!sibylle is anything but mediocre.did you ever hear about being "graceful in defeat"?...maybe you should learn it...:(

oh come on,be fair!sibylle is anything but mediocre.did you ever hear about being "graceful in defeat"?...maybe you should learn it...:(

Why should I? I didn't lose the match ;)

Congrats Sybille! :woohoo:

Her first win over a Top 10 player :yeah:

Kuzzie :sad: Better luck in Dubai :)

Totally unexpected. :eek: Congrats Sybille!

Get it together Sveta.

Sybille played great well done sybille :D

Yes!!! Sybille :worship::bounce:

kuzzy :sad:

Sveta :sad: :fiery:

It was so tense I'm glad Sybille got her 1st win against Svet.

About time Sybille beat Sveta. She's been very close before. :yeah:

Well done Sybille :D

Tier I QF again :yeah:

I had to leave after the first set and until that Sybille was playing great tennis for this windy day,she is the one who knew what to do out there ;)

good luck in QF ;)

Sybille :yeah:

Nice revenge for Indian Wells last year. Sorry Sveta.

Terrible start to the year excluding Sydney

Svetlana :sad:

Sveta :help:

Doha pts from last year will be taken out after Dubai. #2 spot depends on Jelena. She's gonna take it if she reaches the final.

So its a possible we have 3 different #2s in 1 month?

the paper was so LOL!

Sybille just played great :banana: :yeah:

BAM BAM IS BACK! :bounce:
