Re: Brisbane R1: Gajdosova d. Vinci 4-6, 6-1, 6-3
Is it just me or do you guys also think he was hitting with more topspin on her groundies and was in general not ball bashing as much???

Yep, I think she's definitely working the topspin more, particularly when she gets a low short ball. It meant that she had more consistency and less soul-destroying UEs.

Yeh, I thought her shots weren't going as flat as they used to be. She also stuck in the rally at times. Loved those return winners

I don't know about the topspin, but she wasn't "ballbashing" (for once). She was building her points in a nice way, choosing the best choice of play available. At least at the end of the match, since I didn't see most of the 3 sets.

Roberta 
Bad start of the season, she usually beats those players thanks to her craftiness and variety, quite embarrassing performance for her- she's still rusty i guess.

You actually think that 
She just isn't good noug to beat players who consistently hit the ball hard and make her move

Can someone make highlights of this match? I want to watch that second and third set over and over.
So proud of Jarka.

This
She exchanged whatever control she had in her Wilson for extra power in the Babolat that not only did she not need but meant age couldn't make a ball 
If Maria is off and Jarka is on, I think he is finally in the state of mind to finish off the match he almost did at US Open 2010

Jarmila   This is just great, I'm so happy! This must mean so much to her! Really hope that things are going upwards from here. Looking forward to 2R vs. Sharapova
Too bad they had to play each other in 1R as I like Vinci as well, but Jarmila really needed this one much more.
