probably could do with this thread to keep all the videos together and leave the photos thread for photos...
Nouf might repost some of his vintage Mvids in here as well...they are a must for Maria fans especially the ones from Wimby, USO & RG 2004, as well as the offcourt ones.
Watching her match vs Kaia it dumbfounds me how she can be so clueless closing a point near the net. I mean does she not look before she hits right back at them? I know that's Hoggy's gameplan and it works beautifully, but when she gets easy put aways she tends to hit back at her opponent
masha definitely has skills at the net, i mean she has like 3 doubles titles right :lol:
and she isn't scared of coming to the net a la JJ, but because of her gamestyle it's usually 1, 2, punch - point won. she usually finishes points off mid-court with dry volleys as opposed to moving into the net and chipping/slicing. It's just not her gameplan and thats ok with me
I was watchin Russia vs Israel Fed Cup tie in the last 2 days. In the past I have had seen only small pieces of the matches, now I watched match 2, 3 and 4 (both Maria's matches and Anna's). And maaaan... It made me so nostalgic. I miss that Maria... Fully on the attack, secure in herself, stable on serve, great footwork (those little steps of adjusting..) and willing to come in very often!!
That is a tremendous interview...the guy did his homework, Maria responded in a very straightforward, alert way...the questions required either a "yeah, I'm great", or a phony modesty, which a lot of famous people seem unable to avoid...but Maria's answers seemed thoughtful without being over rehearsed. This was good.
journalists keep asking same questions every single time , but thanks to the fact that interview was pretty long Masha managed to tell some new thoughts and memories
CNN always has the most boring interviews. That interview is for someone who knows nothing about her to get to know her a bit better.
Other than that its a snooze fest.
Well...I have seen her legs before....but when I see new photos, and they look pretty much the same as I have seen before...somehow, I manage to remain awake.
