So it's gonna be tough for Vika to even reach the final here unless Serena starts off rusty or simply doesn't care too much. The most important thing is to get some match practice for the AO which should still be possible with this draw. And I hope we'll see Vika - Caro in the QF

It's a tough draw indeed, but God knows how much I wanted her to meet Carol last season

Time to start fixing that awful H2H

C'mon Vika

(I know that any draw can be tricky at the beginning of the season, but the bottom half is such a joke if compared to the half one rolleyes

Vika and Na are already warming up. Here's a stream (not the best quality though): http://www.frombar.tv/v-4/10/24/v-502515.html

Hua Hin exho, Li def Vika 63-26-107

VIKA-GOAT · Dec 29th, 2012, 10:44 AM

Vika was pretty bad even though she said she player well

she also said she should have practised a bit before the match and she was a bit surprised with the surface

Exo's are meaningless overall. Still now is the time to boot Redfool out of her camp and prepare for AO seriously.

About the Brisbane tournament...if Sabine Lisicki and Lucie Safarova play their match on Monday, 31 December 2012, then Vika will play her second round match on Tuesday, 1 January 2013...right?

In Brisbane we should see more serious tennis after those exhos.

Another Serena/Victoria in the SF [...] surprising (?) that said, a great opportunity IMO for Victoria to get a win on Serena in a "meaningless" event, if the American doesn't do her usual flopping outside of majors. They meet so much in 'big' events and matches, Serena needs to at least do well in one of these 'MMs' she doesn't care about -- who knows.

finally an opportunity for prime Victoria to trash Wozniacki, I've been eternally waiting for this match up -- hopefully Victoria will be in rhythm by the time.

Well if she's going to have a fair shot at Serena, it'll be in a non-slam tournament.
I'm curious to how she'll handle Caro considering their "rivalry". Vika shouldn't have any problems with her, but still there's mental crap there.

Is Brisbane her one AO warmup this year?

hurricanejeanne · Dec 29th, 2012, 04:26 PM

Bitches in GM so pressed about not just Vika but my retired bitch, Lindsay. Loves it.

saul1333 · Dec 29th, 2012, 04:40 PM

She really wasn't playing well for most of the first set (bit rusty I guess) but the second set was quite good imo. She then played a sloppy first set-like TB for whatever reason. If she can start in Brisbane like she's played in the second set I think she should be OK for her first round. It looks like finding rhythm is the most important thing for her right now.
