It was not tennis.. How was she preparing for the grass ??Dreadful tennis from Petra.
Yes, Petra IS the problem.I also thing that Kotyza is not the main problem now, I think it's Petra unfortunately. Hope she will improve soon!
SOURCEPetra Kvitova, 2011 Wimbledon champion, is not the first to suggest that Serena's biggest opponent is frequently herself.
"I think that the players have to play 100 percent and to play really, really well. Serena sometimes doesn't have a great day but she's still able to beat the other players," she told Reuters.
She meant that you have to have your best day ever and Serena has to have her worst day ever so she could lose at least 6-4 6-4. :lol:World number five Sara Errani, who was on the receiving end of one of Williams's most emphatic maulings in the semi-finals in Paris, losing 6-0 6-1, neatly summed up the sense of foreboding.
"You have to have one of your best days and try to think she can have one bad day," she said.
I think that 99,999% of all Petra's fans want you to be right! :lol::lol: I still feel like she is going to have a good run at Wimbledon.. Maybe I am delusional
Yea i agree, but as a tennis fan, i rather be realistic than be insane. I mean i use to say that Ana has plenty of time to improve, i did the same with Caro and some other players, but after 3-4 years of no improvements and change, i stop believing that shit. Not only are you making the player believe in that notion but also your making yourself look more delusional and more of a dumbass. There is a time and place for us to not believe that shes struggle but there is also a time where we have to think to ourselves is it worth the pain and the suffering and the work to actually "think" that she has "plenty of time" to improve her game just because her age is young. Yes i understand that not all players can have a serena and maria career. But at the same time why is it worth believing that she "wouldn't be in" or "she wouldnt have that" phrase. This reminds me of Nicole. This girl was one of my fave players back then. She had a very nice game. I love her so much. But then she decided not to play tennis that much anymore and i was like "What happened?". The reason that i bring her up is because she could've won a slam or possibly even more. But i guess its not what she wanted really. I really wish she has at least won a slam. That would've been very nice.Well, you can understand why they/we are doing this.
She sucks right now and there are only a few way how to act as a fan:
First, you can ignore it (i.e. lie to your self), say that it is just a worse moment or season for her and that she will get over this although you have no indications of any change.
Second, you can be very negative, keep talking about what you think that could help, saying that she is sliding from the cliff quickly or that she is on the way of other former good player who ended its career of breakthrough badly, that all parts of her game are bad and so on.
Third, you can keep saying/writing nonsenses. :lol:
But I guess that you cannot do anything real about it.
