She held. What the fuck. Now of course BMS will hold easily and win it. 0-6 6-4 6-4 will be a beautiful scoreline. :cheers: Ana will have more games, more points, probably more winners and fewer errors.

This is slump Ana in its most glorious form.
She has a plus phase until the opponent stabilizes. The minute they win ONE game, panic sets in and Ana thinks, OMG the winning is over. After 5-7 games, the panic abides, and she thinks, "Oh it's not the end yet, there's still a chance" but then usually it's too late.
It's like someone who loses control of the stearing wheel and then just close their eyes through a crash, and after realizing "Oh I am not dead: get a grip but by then the car is off the road.
And it's always the same. Always.

An interesting analogy. So Ana has "crash" phases during which she loses leads, and by the time she recovers her situation is too difficult to save.
I think that even when Ana is in a "plus" phase she is always on the verge of collapsing. It's as if she's standing on a balance beam. She can look fantastic but the slightest slip will send her falling onto the floor. It shows up in her oncourt attitude when she's winning. She's sometimes so pumped up (Johnny Mac found it hilarious) that every point she wins she celebrates as if she won a title. Her adrenaline levels must be through the roof, she gets herself so worked up. When the adrenaline level is high and the heart-rate goes very high it gets hard to think. Basically Ana cannot stay calm.
There is an ideal state of alertness to play tennis in. Ana definitely goes above that to the stressed-out phase, even when ahead in a match. Then when she starts to lose games, her stress levels rise even higher and she completely loses the plot.

I am sorry but I have to say this: stupid idiot!
And I don't care any more. Whatever Ana.
What a massive dissappointment. I have no more words.
Just whatever.
Keep doing whatever you are doing and have a happy life. Enjoy every minute of it.

Bethanie Fucking Mattek Sands. First round. Clay. It does not compute.
She just doesn't care. She's got her millions, her achievements, her no. 1 and her GS title, that every hater takes a piss on these days, but if she don't care neither will I.

But you know what.. maybe that's better. I think I'll root for her to lose in the first round in the next few tournaments as well.. Complete the 1st round slam at RG. Maybe that's what she needs to fix things off court and see that what she has now won't be enough.
Actually, having thought about this quote a bit, the translation is not the best. I thought of a better translation, the difference is subtle but oh how fitting.
It's not a sin when is ignorant, but when one is ignorant and won't be taught.

This is like the Groundhog Day, take 56 :lol:
All of her coaches (save Sven post RG08) are better than going through it alone.
How can she not see it? Is she totally blind? Imagine how well Woz would fare, if her pa was not involved and she was calling the shots.
She admires Novak, says he has relaxing team. Well, uh, yeah. You cannot have a relaxing team, if you don't have any team to begin with. And look at Novak's team, for ffs. He has a coach, a trainer, a nutritionist, at one point two coaches, probably a hitting partner, I don't know.
I am starting to believe that Ana is simply cheap. She just won't spend the money.

:lol: That would be dumb though.. not paying a team saves her less money than she would win if she were actually having good results.
It's all so stupid.. I feel like writing a letter to Gavin pointing out all the patterns.. because they don't seem to see any. But well, it would be pointless anyway.
