Oh well.....no bagel :o
Sam's up *4-1 :)

Would you settle for a breadstick maybe?

I'd take it :lick:

:o sam..I don't like watching her struggling against the likes of Baltacha. Scared what will happen when she plays someone who is good and comfortable on this surface:unsure:

Good play at net.

Good Set Sam ;)

third set is gonna be tighter, methinks

Keep this focus now Sam!

Don't know where those stats came from!

6-1 :bigclap:

Meanwhile Bartoli and Sanchez 1 set both too

Sams serve to get her through this match hopefully, if she is going to drop her level. Still confident she will get the win.

slice serve ace :worship:

Thank goodness she held!
Dont go back to first set Sam please! :p

Pfeww.....1-0* :)

Easy.

using the slice backhand for offensive. good!

Like to see her hit through a background more than once in a rally. This slice backhand really isn't improving much.

Look at that! She can hit a double handed backhand.

Good hold. Still a lot of room for improvement, which is great considering the score.

C'mon Sam. Don't let her get another game.

Sammy's on fire.

Well Played after the first Sam, she's getting the job done, served a lot of aces especially given the first serve was down today

Is she really no.1 in the race now? :speakles:

We don't know yet, either Makarova or Sveta and it's Makarova who's leading atm 6-4 4-4* ;)

it's makarova.

6-1 6-0! (first set didn't happen)

Sam is just amazing !
No 1 in the race ! :bounce: She deserves it !!!

it's makarova.

6-1 6-0! (first set didn't happen)

Yeah, part of the warm-up :lol:

Makarova's been playing really good throughout the week, probably she'll take a set from Sam.

Stosur/Makarova on Center Court at 11:30 am :bounce:

GO SAAAAM :cheer:

argh that bleeding time again. I always miss the end cause I have to go back to work.


I'm kinda worried about makarova. the girl seems to be a grass specialist :scared:

Nothing to fear my fellow members of the family.. I will be there to make sure Sam does the job :p or work out a plan so Maka vanishes from the premises.. :tape:

I love Sam playing at 11.30 every day :) Means her matches start at 8.30 here, perfect time.

Good luck today Sam, hopefully she can play a match today without getting pissed off at her self :lol:

cant wait for the wimbly daraw tonigt. i'm so nervous :sobbing:

Take lots of pictures, M. Or force a certain MomoSapien which a nice camera to take tons of pictures :p

Do you Stosur fans think that she can beat Pennetta?

^ I don't see why not. :)


they're on court!

Lets go Sam!:cheer:

Hey, I like Sam's warm-up outfit :)
Makarova beating Pennetta, Petrova and Kuznetsova without losing a set....quite impressive :speakles:

:shrug: Maybe, maybe not. I'd give the edge to Flavi but I think Sam will win against Flavi...someday.

Never ever again. :angel:

*5-3 :cheer: Serving for the set :devil:

Woo *5-3

Surprised to see no aces yet.

Ok Sam the audience, maybe, prefer to see a match, but we'd prefer to see 60 60...

Dammit :fiery:

why can't she serve out the damn set?! :( 5-4

...:sobbing:

:mad::mad::mad:

grrrr 5-5. do not liek.

Damn when she was to serve out the set, she couldn't land a first serve in.

5-5 now.

Omg, come back Sam!

Come on Sam, how can you miss that :o :(

BP's for Makarova..

hell of an ace.

And first ace.

she's completely screwed this set.

BH winners :cheer:

Maybe not yet.

deuce! now hold sam

Nice points, keep going Sam :)

Wow, so glad she held.

Phew.
Cmon Sam!

ad sam

Phew!!! Much better play. 1st ace.

Pfeww.....6-5* ;)

And a hold from 2 break points down.

I'm nearly falling asleep, have lost ssooooo much sleep the last few days. Have to stay awake to go out at like 11, and this match isn't doing much to keep me awake. (3 cups of coffee hasn't helped either)

Play some inspiring tennis now Sam, do something to wake me up!

:unsure: wtff samm!

Not another tie breaker...

TB :ras:

Tie break time! :scared:

Torture.

Great........TB :help:

Uh oh 0-2*

lag

disgusting

Sam seems to love 3 sets.

wtf sam

:lol: Over this grass court season already.

1-3 :( ace anyway

What's going on here :confused: C'mon Sam, wake up :(

2-3* now take the next point

Bloody hell. I have to go in like 5 minutes :mad:. C'MON SAM!

She's catching up

2-3 :o

2-4, i am seriously pissed off with this play tonight.

To Makarova's credit, she's serving very well and rallies pretty solid too.

Wtf Was That Sam?

:lol: 2-5

3-5 :(

ok this set is gone :(

4-5*

Incapable of winning points over 3+ shots.

4-5

5-5 :)... Come On Sam, Please Take This Point

very nice point. new found hope

Yes! 5 all

5-5 :bounce:

5-6 :(

Please save this SP!

makarova's serves are becoming very predictable

To Makarova's credit, she's serving very well and rallies pretty solid too.

You're right, she's played good tennis so far, just a bit nervous at the start I think :rolleyes:

Hit the ball somewhere. Letting Makarova dictate the play.

That was a horrible first set from Sam, yet again.
Credit to Makarova, but Sam is totally not with it atm! She looks like she could use a hug :awww:

Cmon Sam, come out firing these next two sets!

6-7. I Give Up On This

shit set

Warning?

eh...Don't really care what happens. Sam doesn't even look motivated.

Just hope it doesn't get any worse!

Shit. Exactly the same scoreline as Bally's match.

Makarova has very good court coverage (better than Sam's). And Sam's serve at the moment is not able to offset that disadvantage.

Lol, Sam hit a ball out of the stadium at the end of the set. :lol:

what's worrying me is that the first serve and points won on first serve percentages (73%, 66%) aren't that bad :shrug:

I've rarely seen Sam getting so frustrated :help:
7-6 to Makarova :(
And warning for ball abuse :o

Come on Sam !!!!

She got a warning, really?:spit:

Absolutely useless

Sam's been showing so much emotion this tournament. I don't know if it's a good thing or not. :shrug:

She got a warning, really?:spit:

Yeah :lol:

Go Sammy !!! Calm down !

She's very frustrated now. Deep breath please.

her first serves are useless

Maybe if Sam starts swinging with out a care in the world, she might start playing better.

30 all. now hold damn it

Good FH there.

omg 30-40, lose this and its over

deuce

Cut down on the errors, Sammy.

ad sam.

Phew!

1 all. now break her damn it

Good hold. Still in this.
