I know Mexicola's post was somewhat harsh, but I do agree with some of it to some extent. I too tend to question her talent at times.

But hasn't it long been established that her abilities are limited? When an opponent with power is on she pretty much always loses. However, I think she could have managed to win this SF. Had she altered her strategy and came into the second set with a different attitude she could have gotten it done.

What.the.fuck?

Not that your messy ass post even warrants a response but I never said she cheated. I said and argued that it was disgusting sportsmanship. Hence why I said she wont win cleanly.

If it had been a competitive match with both playing at or near their best it would have been a case of, "ok, both were good, but someone has to win in the end. This time it was Na, perhaps next time it will be Maria." But the disappointing thing from Maria's perspective is that Li played her best tennis in the matches where it mattered most (against Aga and Maria) while Maria played her best tennis against non-contenders while she played by her standards pretty poorly towards the business end of the tournament. Despite the convincing score she was already less impressive against Makarova than in earlier rounds while Li Na totally outplayed her.

THIS SO MUCH. While I don't question her toughness in getting back from surgery and putting in the effort to get back to her best, I do think her mental toughness on court against the best players will never return again. She's just shitting her pants against any top players who are playing well these days. Look at those SFs she played as Semipova against Momo, Juju Heng and Kimothy, they had to bring their best form to tame that resilience and fight from Maria.

Getting all sad now

And what's with this Vika hate I don't love her myself but c'mon, dragging fellow SS posters down because of her? You guys need a drink

As long as Masha herself isn't depressed I couldn't care less about the trolls

[JamieOwen3]

The bigger the hate only shows how hugely relevant she is to them.

Well she was soooo loved and respected on the board (relatively) from 2009 to 2010, so take it anyway you all want

And guess what, those were the worst 2 years... I guess that being hated = being feared = being strong

I'm done getting depressed over the loss what happened happened...although I really want her to win a Slam this year and if she doesn't defend her FO title than I don't know I must also note that after Maria's loss it was really gloomy and pouring outside and the minute I woke up I heard and saw a lighting outside my window I guess even the weather was dramatizing/depressed over her loss

I'd rather she win slams and endure those juvenile posters while Dsanders and co fight the war on GM for SS

Anyway not sure if it's the proper place to ask, but did Fed really drop the F-bomb on Andrew eariler on?

[PimpMePova]

^ Apparently he said fucking stop to him

[Nina.]

and of course there won't be any media drama about this because Holyrer can do no wrong

[domon17th]

LOL Roger getting all old and cranky and losing left and right, love it.

[PimpMePova]

I read Andy's interview and he was very classy about it
