Friday OOP and SCORES

Stadium
11.45 Grandin / Uhlirova v Chuang / Govortsova
14.00 Li v Cetkovska

19.00 Wozniacki v Schiavone

Supposed to be decent weather, so both semis should be fine. Maybe a Caro-Na final, not bad, could be they play twice in 3 weeks

Hoping for a Woz vs. Li Na final! Good luck to both:)

Good Luck Caro! :)

Come on Cetkovska, let's go all the way.

Players are on scoreboard.

Cetkovska broke
ErrorNa is here.

Cetkovska is dictating play.

ErrorNa can't even hit the ball in when she hits down the middle... :facepalm:

She isn't really hitting the ball that hard either.

Petra :hearts: keep holding

Cetkovska can play, leads 2-1 and up a break.

Mug-Na doesn't know how to play tennis.

She's pushing

Li Na DF's to give 3 set pts to Petra

Third game in a row where Cetkovska has 40-0 or 0-40

Petra wastes 3 set points

Game point:eek:

Wow... Li wins a game. I'm shocked.

Na Li played a good game, came back from 0-40 down.

Cetkovska wins 1st set 6-2.

Petra's FH :drool:

If Nana plays like this in the USO, she might lose to Halep.

Cetkovska breaks 6-2 1-0.

Li Na's year is over, imo.

Cetkovska 2-1.

Na 6-5*

Cetkovska gave the set away 6-2 5-7.

Na 7-5. :)


Was her coach In? I saw he look nervous but won't come in when she's winning...

Looks like Cetkovska has used the Clorox well. :lol: She's almost blinding in her white outfit. :eek: :cool:

Petra has been playing very well lately, easily top15 tennis while Na hasn't been playing well in New Haven, even worse than in Cincinati.
It's not a surprise the match is close. Li played carelessly in the st set. Petra played excellent tennis. In the 2nd, Li raised her level and focused. Hopefully she get it together in the final set.

Rennae Stubbs is doing the sideline coverage. :hearts:

:smash::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I think they both need some beta blockers. :lol: Game Li 5-5 third set.
But Li is the more experienced one, the slam winner. Shouldn't she be able to handle the situation better?

Li 0-30 on her serve after another 2nd serve. :( Hold Li.

:rolleyes: Sportsnet said there are technical difficulties and they can't show the match at this time :mad:
After showing everything until the middle of the 3rd set

:rolleyes: Sportsnet said there are technical difficulties and they can't show the match at this time :mad:

The cameramen are unable to control their laughter!

Li 40-30 on her serve from 0-30 2nd serve. :) Take the game point Li.

OMG lucky Li :lol: C'mon girl!

Game point gone on a 2nd serve. :( Hold Li.

But Li is the more experienced one, the slam winner. Shouldn't she be able to handle the situation better?

They have both played some nervous tennis today. Na may still come through this in the end and experience may make the difference, but she has been far from stellar and far from mentally steady in this match.

Ad Li. :) Take the game point Li.

Na 5-5 gp...

can sum1 summarize wut has happened since cetkovska was up 4-1 in the 3rd??

This end of match is just :tape:
6-5* Li after 2 close challenges.

can sum1 summarize wut has happened since cetkovska was up 4-1 in the 3rd??

Bits of choking, bits of Na playing well for a point or two in a row. :shrug:

WTA at its finest.

Li holds for 6-5 3rd set at Ad Li from 0-30 to 15-30 (2nd serve) to 40-30 to 40-40 (2nd serve) on a 2nd serve.

This end of match is just :tape:

I couldnt help but laugh when I saw the stands in the beginning of the match when they blocked off half of the seats bcz they knew there was no way they were filling them up :lol:

Cetkovska 30-15 on her from 30-0 after a 2nd serve.

I couldnt help but laugh when I saw the stands in the beginning of the match when they blocked off half of the seats bcz they knew there was no way they were filling them up :lol:

It's a shame because this event used to have really nice crowds a few years ago. :sad:

Cetkovska 30-30 on her serve from 30-15 after another 2nd serve.

Rory & the Yale football team are there.
Winner plays Petra.

2 unforced errors on Caro's forehand to start 30-30

Fran making forehand errors too

Caroline won the 4 times they played since 2009 FO, but most close matches
2-1*

Fran breaks at love. *3-2

4-3 Schiavone with the break

Piotr no one likes you.

Im loving this net play from Fran

that monster is next to piotr, poor caroline

Fran up 5-3*.

5-3 Schiavone :)

schiavone ros is awful

Serve it out Fran :yeah:

Caro breaks for 5-5 on a Caro type point.

What The Fuck Fran.

Bonehead, Franci!

Come on. Break her again, Fran.

OHMYGOD :facepalm:

You made my day! :sobbing:

lol i knew it, schiavone is a joke, at least she gives the crowd a good show

19 winners vs. 3

You decide who has the most.

Caro seems to match up well with Fran

Bp, Take It.

Bad forehand error and bp

Fran your FH is fucking almost as bad as Caro's.

This match is much more interesting than Woz v. McHale.

But, still, Fran...cut out the unforced errors!

19 winners vs. 3

You decide who has the most.
Well, but they are 5-5. Fran error count must be very high

Am I the only one who finds Caro's BACKHAND cringeworthy as well?

Damn.

Well, but they are 5-5. Fran error count must be very high

Might be 15 by now.

I still prefer a player to try for winners.

This match is much more interesting than Woz v. McHale.

But, still, Fran...cut out the unforced errors!
It was push, and I push back. That was terrible match

but whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy whyyy you have to go for the winner when your opponent isn't!!!!

but whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy whyyy you have to go for the winner when your opponent isn't!!!!

Not always of course! :lol: Especially if your opponent is littering the court with errors, and perhaps Fran is doing that. :(

but whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy whyyy you have to go for the winner when your opponent isn't!!!!

because Fran cant get stuck into long rallies with Caro, she loves those.

Might be 15 by now.

I still prefer a player to try for winners.
Yes, but she had made some really stupid errors in judgement shots

That overhead was just :sad:

Tie break. Starts with df from Caro, 0-1*

Caro called for trainer according to #1 ace star ESPN reporter Rennae Stubbs :yeah:

She keeps hitting short into the net! Nooooooo!

Wozniacki calling the trainer. Final is 1 tomorrow, moved up

because Fran cant get stuck into long rallies with Caro, she loves those.

i know :crying2:

2 good forehands, 3-1 Caro

4-2* Fran serves one more

Fran is allergic to overheads.

FRANCESCA :mad:

:banghead:

Fran! What?

Time to rethink.

What was that Fran? She has so much time why not play behind her?

I'm so fucking outta here.

I think Fran's problems all relate to her having to wear that baggy skirt for over a year.

Come on, Fran. Focus.

i think i should kill someone right now, schiavone if possible

Fran you are really fucking stupid, you know that?

:banghead:

Fran! What?

Time to rethink.

you know what I mean?

She is making very bad decisions now.

7-2. Fran was up a break 5-3, but too many loose errors.

Disgusting result!

You've got to win the right points, and Fran did not. 43 pts to 41 pts. :sad:

Given their recent history, Can can win this

Caro is leaving with the trainer. Probably come back taped.

Caro taking a treatment timeout.

Inner thigh taping, possibly

is wozniacki even injured? fine, imagine the outcome if she was healthy

24-3 in winners. And 3 wins the set.

Winners/UES
Caro/Fran
3/10 24/18

Fran had better net percentage as well.

so I guess this is gonna be yet another gifted title for the pusher:zzz: Does she ever win thanks to her own play rather than waiting for innevitable choke?

is wozniacki even injured? fine, imagine the outcome if she was healthy
I think she must have something wrong with her.

If she did not win that first set, it would have appeared suspicious.
Right now she has the momentum, having won the TB decisevely

so I guess this is gonna be yet another gifted title for the pusher:zzz: Does she ever win thanks to her own play rather than waiting for innevitable choke?
To be fair, she is playing much better today than yesterday.

It also appears she has gotten into Franny head.

I don't understand why Fran would play so many drop shots, and either she misses them, or Caro gets to them easily.
How fast can Caro be to get to to many drop shots?

calling wozniacki to the net is the better way to earn easy points

calling wozniacki to the net is the better way to earn easy points
But Fran has not been successful at doing that

That was a poor service game from Caro. She could have taken control and just gave the break back

schiavone is painful to watch, she puts so much energy in every shot but her ball is still slow

Was Caro just imitating Fran's grunt?

another ill advised drop shot

Caro blows a bunch of break points, *1-2

she is behind: make the winner
she is in front:make the error

A good hold there after so many errors.

Fran's body language says to me that she isn't expecting to win. :no:

Good hold Fran. You don't want to join the "Brainless Italian Wozniacki Punchbag Club" do you? Because Flavia's got that shit handled already.

Is Fran win this set(which is not a given right now), this could go 3 hours.

Caro had plenty of break chances this set, 1 for 9 this set

Is Fran win this set(which is not a given right now), this could go 3 hours.

No!

some gifts also from caro, not only from santa schiavone claus

Caro had plenty of break chnaces this set, 1 for 9 this set
It seems like Fran has not had too many service games

No!

agree, please caro win fast

Rory and Caroline, a match made in PR heaven. I guess.

Sometimes Fran is just too clever (too flashy) for her own good and then she muffs a volley. :(

Wozniacki working hard on her approach game, but still needs more work.

crowd starting to hate schiavone! and they are right

Tonight, Caro is making Fran working a lot.
This could take a toll on Fran in a possible 3rd set

More break points

How many errors for Fran now?

Finally a break, 76 *43

Well, at least, Julien is trying to make a comeback.

Seriously, though, Franny, come on.

Is Fran win this set(which is not a given right now), this could go 3 hours.

No!

agree, please caro win fast


Don't worry guys, it less and less likely, thanks to Fran

schiavone tactics is a mess, why does she go always on caro backhand when everybody knows it's her best shot!?

Woz is looking a little frustrated.

But...an ace.

Crowd is still enjoying Fran, so..Hangover, you are wrong. :)

Oh, I shouldn't have said that. Fran wasted another BP.

TBH, I think Caro is playing a perfect match against Fran.

Oh, I shouldn't have said that. Fran wasted another BP.
You and Hangover were wrong on your last respective statements

Caro 1 game from 5 straight wins against Fran.
Fran makes too many unforced errors to win these matches

TBH, I think Caro is playing a perfect match against Fran.

Well, this is there seventh meeting, so she should know something about it.

I just think Fran could win this if she had half the errors, but that will have to be saved for some fantasy match, since it hasn't happened tonight.

Caro moved really well there. I think her legs okay
0-30

Game, set, match.
