BTW, speaking of Radwanska - the other day I saw an episode of the Serbian version of X-factor or something like that, and the winner was this girl who reminds me so much of Agnieszka. Do you see any resemblance or am I imagining things?
I'm really surprised that Andy folded up so easily in the final. Then again, I don't get why he was so tight in the match with Federer either - I mean, he's on great form, Federer isn't and what's more, he's leading their H2H and thrashed Federer last time they played each other! Also, his game gives Novak more trouble than anyone else's + Novak isn't exactly on stellar form + Andy won their last GS final. So, why such attitude in the final?
But as up-and-down as Novak is and as mentally fragile as Andy is, the two of them are obviously in the class of their own in ATP ATM. Federer can't keep up any more (finally! ) and I don't know when Nadal is coming back and what state he'll be in. I kind of expect these two to play all the GS finals this season.
I agree, there is a good chance that they could play all the GS finals this year (Andy would need a hell of a lot of luck at FO ). I don't think that would be good for tennis. Having Novak/Rafa for four consecutive GS finals was bad enough. He needs to step up, because I don't want to see the golden slam for Novak. It's too awful for me to contemplate. Indeed, it's such a wasted chance. That match against Federer really diminished his chances physically. It's appalling that he allowed that match to go on for four hours Federer was esentially useless in the match (the first, third & fifth sets highlighted this perfectly) but yet he couldn't finish him & played some useless tiebreaks I'm not sure how much Andy will ever improve mentally. I think there's only so much even Lendl can do He's had leads in a lot of GS SFs/Finals lately, only to be unable to keep any kind of momentum. The choke vs Rafa at Wimbledon '11 was by far the worst. Anything other than finals at Wimbledon & USO will be a failure. Though he can also match Novak on clay. He should've been in the finals of Rome only to choke when serving for the match against him That was also one of their better quality matches.

Done, told Martin to go back to supporting his flop fave
I just realized he has a new nickname again And btw. have you already seen Ula's new website: http://www.teamula.com/ Apparently she wants us to pay $50 for her autograph.

What the hell? Even Aga gives autographs for free
BTW, Robert actually praised Azarenka more than anything in that article; he said that she's not popular but she ignores it and wins.
And the best thing is that $1 must go for a foundation of priests.

I actually don't care what he says about Azarenka in that interview. The most important thing is that he basically admitted Aga used MTO to break Kimiko's momentum in that match from 2 years ago.
Lol, the funny thing is that people got so upset about that interview and nobody even cares about all the crappy things he said about Aga during the last few years.

And yet Azarenka fans are unable to read this and go staight to pointing that match out.
And at least they're honest about it; almost everyone at some point takes MTOs to break momentum. Sveta took a bathroom break and a MTO in her match vs. Karolina
Ana is one of the weirdest players. When she's playing bad and losing easily, she won't even try to calm down, take some extra time before the serve, take a toilet break between the sets, she just rushes and plays worse and worse. She could've avoided that double bagel if she was only willing to use a bit of gamesmanship.

I couldn't believe it when he said she needed a shrink after that horrendous choke to Maria. I mean he was right, but you don't say that in the public domain He deserved to be dumped after that. However, even today I'm still disgusted by that choke from Aga. I was so pissed off watching that shit

She deserved that warning. It was too blatant Sveta is one of those players that can get away with that on TF. Another Queen of MTO is Kirilenko. That's a big part of why I can't stand her. She's by far one of the worst on tour for that. She gets some flack on TF, but not that much because of her looks.
"Tiara" just reminds me of one of my favourite scenes

Yeah, I noticed that too. It's like she wants to be off the court as soon as possible.
