Let's go Maya!!! SLAY 2ga and become the new Miss September VIP monthly calendar girl in my GIANT SLAYERS CLUB today. 💪

 

 

Iga smokes Joint 6-0 6-2

 

As long as she doesn't smoke a joint...Iga will be on the naughty stool again 🤔

 

Iga hasn’t even broken a sweat being at this tournament

 

This court and the conditions are perfect for her.

 

The Korean people are very obsessed with excellence in all fields, including sports, academics, education, music, and the arts etc. I think that is one of the reasons Korean tennis fans showed so much enthusiasm and love towards Iga with supporting signs, even though it was Iga's first time participating in the tournament. It really doesn't matter to them whether it's very one-sided in competition. They just appreciate the superior skills that top athletes display. I am sure their responses will be the same if Sabalenka plays at the Korea Open. There are many Korean Emma fans because she is a former USO champion.

 

Alexandrova SLAYED Siniakova in straight sets 6-4, 6-2. GSM. She will SLAY 2ga in the championship final and become Miss September. 💪LOL

 

 

 

My sister, who lives in Korea, told me that Krejcikova has gained many Korean tennis fans since her match against Emma. They must have loved all those winners Barbora produced.

 

The question is does babs love bullfrogs and turtles?



Is your sisters name maloof?

 

^ Well, Babs just won her doubles championship final in Seoul more reason to love the place and return.

 

Let's go Drova. SLAY her again!!! 💪

 

6-1 Alexandrova takes first set off Swiatek. 💪

 

I wonder what Iga writes in her notebook when she takes these "bathroom" breaks 🤔

 

1st set goes to Drova. 💪 6-1

 

I think there should be a one point penalty for a bathroom break after a short first set. Obviously very occassionally people may have to go ..but it should still just come with starting next set 0-15 to avoid cynical abuse.

 

And confiscate her notebook and pen 😁

 

It’s just the fact there’s a 100% hit rate of her doing it when she loses the first set and when she’s been suspended for drug tests before raises my eyebrows at least

 

it's not a good look for #2 in world ...that she cannot just play on into second set ...she has to try something to either break up momentum of opponent ..or read her notebook

 

Iga wins the 2nd set tie break. Going to a third. Iga probably wins this now. Drova blew it.

 

This deciding set is closer than I expected

Drova serving to stay in it at 4-5

 

Iga beats Drova 1-6 7-6 7-5 and wins the Seoul title!

 

Oh wow, that was much closer than i expected 😳 Must have been an exciting match to watch.

 

Others should just start going to the bathroom when they lose the first set against Iga to also disrupt her rhythm. It’s the lack of sportsmanship with her that makes it difficult to warm up to her

Well 90% of them already do it

 

Call it sleep deprivation, but I'm going for a power nap pretty soon because the Asian swing just does not get along with this North American's physical well being. That being said, I will boldly saying Seoul was the worst tournament of 2025 for me so far. Hands down the very worst! I only need to point out 2 things and I'm going for my Sunday afternoon nap.

1. Our dear Emma loses a heartbreaking match to Krejcikova who friggin' saved 3 match points. Losing the second set tiebreak of 12-10. Later losing the 3rd set big time.

2. Ekaterina Alexandrova today was only 2 points away from lifting this Seoul WTA 500 trophy, but she didn't keep her feet on the gas and 2ga once again escaped death.

Forgot just how unsuitable the Asian swing is for a working North American viewer dealing with the EST time zone. Now I remember why I used to take a huge break right after the US Open. I would return to watch tennis at the earliest during the WTA Finals. I really should go back to skipping the Asian swing like in the past for me.

 

But wouldn't you risk losing your place on the Wall?!

 

^ Once an Iga fan always an Iga fan...It's in your soul.

 

Are you referring to me? If so, what a bizarre comment.

My comment was a silly joke, I had no idea you'd take such offence. Sheesh.

 

Personally I think EMMA deserved to win the match against Krijekova, she was the better player in the first to sets.
KriJ played like a ball basher with a horrondously huge wild swing, going for lines of course she made lots of winners and errrors.
I certainly would not enjoy EMMA playing like that.
I was not impressed by KriJ 's play EMMA is a better all around player.
I did not like her behavior either. Everytime EMMA had a critical point to serve Krij would delay her.EMMA does not seem to be bothered by it however.
EMMA went away in the third set. I do not know why.
I saw no issues with EMMA's back
GO EMMA GO

 

It's just a shame the women's tour is just a support act for ATP these days, men will always play the last showcase match in every combined event and despite playing on the same court they get all the advance data and analytics while SAP gives you bread and butter stuff even if you were happy to pay thousands per month for temporary access.

 

Just watched the final, that was a good match. Alexandrova played very well, came very close. She was sad, but in her speech she saw the positives through the tears.

The emcee is a pain in the ass though, telling the players to smile for the camera. Continuous blabbering.

Much better camera view than the Laver Cup. At least you get some idea of the speed of the ball. It looks like Alexandrova hits the ball harder than Fritz, but i know she doesn't, its just the camera view. Also it makes it look like Seoul was a much faster court than Laver Cup court, but i doubt it, just camera view again makes it seem so.

Having said that, some women appear to hit as hard as the men- i witnessed Rybakina-Emma followed right after by Shelton-Mannarino on the same court and Lena appeared to hit the forehand as fast as the men, though with less topspin.
