Venus, Caro on court 3... and Monfils on Center??? pff..

Caro on ES2.


Why do you think there's coverage from C3? But good if true!

Why do you think there's coverage from C3? But good if true!
Cuz there is a live coverage starting from 17:15 at Eurosport 2 and there's no other women match scheduled for that time :p and Eurosport always knows when women matches are going to be played before us.

Good luck Nadia, Alisa, Franny and Sam of course :yeah:

Bea vs Na Li on C5 :eek:

:lol:

the organizers are trying not to put too much pressure on Bea so they put it on small court :p

think last year Na beat CSN on a showcourt

Cuz there is a live coverage starting from 17:15 at Eurosport 2 and there's no other women match scheduled for that time :p and Eurosport always knows when women matches are going to be played before us.

Thanks for the info, In my TV Guide they did not mention any tennis at 17:15 but online they got it scheduled. :)

Nothing wrong with OOP, Court 3 is nice court with Cameras, also last year many of the big matches of the WTA were held there. it is much better venue than the empty ASV court....

There will be coverage of the first three courts.

I totally understand why they put Venus and Caro on outside courts. Spaniards don't give a shit about WTA.

By the way, I was there last year and there's nothing wrong with court 3 :cheer:

What will the 2nd ES match be during the 1st transmission? They are scheduled for 12 - 15.45 so they will show Serena. But after that will they show VRP vs APS??? They should have Agnes vs Patty on a tv court imvho.

They show only Serena at noon ithink. On my ES. They userly show a full match and won't start if the later show cycling Live. But I don't know about Brit ES, don't they show Cycling?

12:00 TENNIS
TENNIS: WTA Turneringen fra Madrid, Spanien - Dag 1 (120min)

14:00 CYKLING
CYKLING: Giro D'Italia - 3. etape (195min)

Ah ok, they have changed the schedule .The one I saw they were 12 - 15.45

Take the set Anabel :)

Anabel saves bp, now sp... Vamos! :)

SW vs. Vera D. 5-4... from 40-15 - 40-40 ace to held serve.

Bar her serve, Serena is useless today.SHe's having a hard with Vera D taking the ball so early.

Looks like Nadia is back on track. Leading 3-0 in the third. Maybe all the matches did start to early, as Jo claimed!

Even Serena is battling herself, but hopefully she can break VD here.

good cc bh from Vera D :eek:

Bar her serve, Serena is useless today.SHe's having a hard with Vera D taking the ball so early.

Serena's not hitting the ball deep enough. She should be pushing VD off the court, all things being equal.

Vera is playing well, even she missed that volley..

good cc bh from Vera D :eek:

Yeah, that was nice.

5-4*

*40-15 - 40-40...

again a bh CC winner :eek:

I'm not used to seeing Dushevina so untanned.

Good luck to Zvonareva, Dushevina, Kleybanova and Petrova :bounce:

deuce SW wth fh winner.

sp Serena

she makes some bad decisions at times but she's indeed playing a good match.Serena is starting to put pressure on the return though.

Rena's dropshot :tape: looks like a lob lol

What was that from SW :lol:

Oh, man, Serena wasted that set point.

sp saved! adv VD.

Serena wasted that SP.It could cost her the set at the end

5-5...

Anabel is a break up :)

Ack! I can't believe she missed that!

0-15 drop shot Serena hit it out...

30-15 Serena

Nice volley from VD. 30-30.

Is something wrong with Jie???

15-30..., 30-30... good play Vera.

Vera D kinda deserves to win this set.She's trying much more things than Serena atm

6-5 Serena. Now break her, Serena.

Vera D kinda deserves to win this set.She's trying much more things than Serena atm

That's not really how the game works. ;)

Schnyder - Szavay 2-0 :inlove:
Petrova - Vesnina 4-6, 6-2, 4-2
AMG - Zheng 3-6, 6-3, 2-0
Reena - Vera D 6-5
Schiavone - Bammer 0-0

My guess SW wins 7-5, 6-2 or 6-3

6-5* 30-15*

Please Vesnina! Break back...

Serena tries hard, but Vera saves sp...

2 sps saved!

That's not really how the game works. ;)

I know but even if it's Vera D and her infamous FH, it's kinda sad to see the underdog playing well, being very close but still losing the set mostly against Serena's serve

saved sp. Go Reena...
Patty 3-0 :yeah:
AMG 2-1 in 3rd... go Anabel!

Petrova 5-2!

3x bad play by SW... TB

Vera D survived :eek:
Tie-break

TB :eek: Go Reena, smash her, shove your balls down her f**king throat :lol:

1-0 reena!

... it's kinda sad to see the underdog playing well, being very close but still losing the set mostly against Serena's serve

True. But it builds character. :)

Serena is trying, of course, and she is doing more than serving, but...it is not going well for her.

On a sartorial note, the ballkids/linespeoples outfits are ugly. They were better in Rome, even if not great. Vera's black dress looks better on her than the peach version Stosur wears. Serena's pink/peach/coral is very nice.

Vera is playing well :)

1-1

SW vs. Vera D. 6-6 tb 1-2...

Move your feet, Serena!

Vera deserves this set

SW vs. Vera D. 6-6 tb 1-3...

Well done, VD. Now Serena, play better.

Patty always goes from 30-0 to 30-30 :help:... go!

OMG she did it :) deserved

Rena :sad::help::eek:

Great play from Vera D.Well earned set really.Serena must wake up or she'll be in real troubles

AMAZE! Go Vera.

Vera managed to hide all her flaws. Priceless, tactically mastered 1st set. Plus Serena moving like a cow on ice

As bad as Serena is playing she still should've won the set.

Will the real Serena please stand up?

Patty 5-1 :eek: Good job until now :D...
Many upsets in Madrid so far :eek:

Match point for Nadia.

Rena 2-0 :D

Anabel dig deep :)

come on Patty :yeah:

Serena's moving better now

Come on Serena :o

Anabel 5-2 in fs.


I will ask again is Jie bad on clay or still injured?

Some of Serena's shots seemed so lackadaisical. She'd better wake up and bear down if she wants to get in another match before RG.

Agnes Retired :sad:

Patty 5-2 Ret.

Anabel won ;)
Jie :hug: now shooping in Madrid

Oh, Agnes. I wonder what is up with her. What is her injury? I thought Patty would defeat her anyway.

Patty :inlove: now destroy Aga, plz!

Serena forgot how to play on clay, since last week.

SW vs. Vera D. 6-7, 3-1*

Ineffective screams. Serena try some Ajdes and Come ons.

Vera D is really playing a smart match.I don't know if she can keep with this for an entire match but she's not ridiculous at all out there.

SW vs. Vera D. 6-7, *3-2...

*3-2 15-30... Try break back here! ;)

LOL! Nice mad smash, Serena.

it's close.serena's living dangerously...

3-3! after good rally :)

Vera did it :lol:

break point for Vera D...
AMG won 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 :yeah:

no first serves for Serena and she got broken
3-3

set points Schiavone!

Serena's not hitting the ball well, she's not serving that well, and she's not moving well. Maybe I should go to bed. She even looks resigned, even in her irritation at herself.

Schiavone - Bammer 6-2 :help:

Rampant Francesca!

40-40 bp saved...

30-30 good first serve but poor approach and Vera D got passed at the net
BP

SW vs. Vera D. 6-7, *4-5...

Serena can't punish the pathetic 2nd serve coming to her and Vera D hold
5-4*

crybabyrena is on court atm

Most certainly. She better work this out before RG.

Serena's not even losing to a decent player. Dushevina is useless:spit:

thanks Jorn and heart :)

Dushevina :o you shouldn't give this point THIS WAY

well played by Vera D...until the last volley
15-0

Dushevina is so tight 40-0

Vera :help: 3 bad miss.

Vera D is choking a bit.2 nice constructed points she gifted in this game

Actually I kinda like Serena's outfit. Pink looks AWESOME on her.

5-5. Now watch serena break and serve it out

Serena moonballed her way to 5-all :lol:

choke job

Nice hold. Beginning to play the clay.

Give your strokes some net clearance, Serena.

30-15. All Dushevina gets this game is Serena's UE

40-15. UE Serena :o

UE Serena. 7-6 6-5*

Now, time for SW to choke ;)

serena can't do much on Vera D first serves and she should kill her 2nd serve but for some reason she fails more than she successes.

Rubbish.

Now I hope Serena can get it together :unsure:

:lol: should have been over in 2 serena but rest up

UE Serena 00-15

Lazy
