Definitely but I think we can all agree to say that the match is in Maria's hands.
Anyway we're not there yet.

I have actually watched her play Hampton and Wickmayer (only first sets though). And yes, the fact that I watched WTA in Auckland testifies how much I missed tennis  Anyway, when she played Hampton, she was really bad. Jamie was serving for the set, had a set point and double faulted. Plus she had like 7,8 break points in that first set that she hasn't converted, because she is a train wreck with zero mental stability apparently. My point is-she played a lot better than Aga, the match was on her racquet completely. Radwanska even made more UEs than usual for her style, plus she would always wait for Hampton to implode on big points, rather than taking matters into her own hands (which is what primarily pisses me off when it comes to her). In the end, she won tightly 7:6, 7:6. So, statistically speaking, she may be perfect in 2013. But, let's bear in mind that she played tournaments where she was the first seed, and where she hadn't played (if I'm correct) a single top 10 player. Plus, from what I've seen, she hasn't played spectacularly, but enough to win those MMs. Obviously, we don't know what form Masha is in, but I really doubt Aga would be able to beat her here in Melbourne, though I expect that we don't get to find that out, because I doubt Aga will even reach semis.
And to conclude, I cannot believe I just spent 5 minutes analyzing Radwanska's game Get on that court already Maria, I need something normal to obsess about

Re: AO 2013: The Bridesmaid-Bride Double. The Sequel.
I really like this draw tbh  But I really want Venus to go deep into the tournament. Why does she has to draw Maria this soon  Btw I'm also glad that Ana is in Aga's quarter, because it's the best opportunity for her to get into the QF I think, considering her seeding (we all know she can't beat Maria, Serena and Vika nowadays  ).
I have just watched some highlights of Aga's matches in Sydney. I had to say she played really smart. However, thinking that she already had 2 titles this year, while Maria only had 3 titles the whole last year is just But as long as Maria, Serena and Vika have their hands on the big trophies of the PMs, P5s and slams, I'm happy |

Re: AO 2013: The Bridesmaid-Bride Double. The Sequel.
1:00 AM is horrible for me because I have to wake up early on monday
I'll probably watch 1st set and after Maria wins it comfortably (please Maria  ) I'll go to sleep.

Re: AO 2013: The Bridesmaid-Bride Double. The Sequel.
I don't remember Maria has ever won 16 out of 17 1st serve points like what she did against Hantuchova today.

I like this idea. 
It would also be cool if somebody organised a tipping type competition for SS members. But I guess it takes a lot of work

Re: AO 2013: The Bridesmaid-Bride Double. The Sequel.
I just got one question : On GM, the Puchkova vs Masha thread is going crazy about Pushkova winning, is she a serious threat or are they just expressing hate towards Our queen ?

Re: AO 2013: The Bridesmaid-Bride Double. The Sequel.
I will mist most of her matches but I'll probably hand around for her first one . Hopefully she starts her campaign like last year . |
