Kvitova led 4-0 in the first set and then inexplicably started hitting every shot into stands. She was 2 points away from winning the 1st set multiple times and led 40-15,30-0 in almost every game but did everything to throw away those opportunities. Hey, when you are shoe-in for Singapore, why give a damn to win a match even though crowd is entirely behind you, chanting "go Petra go" in every break like you are their fed cup heroine ?
That said, Vinci played pretty good giving Petra nothing for free. She read Petra's slow serves like a book and herself served pretty well and capitalized on Petra's pathetic ROS which is probably the worst ROS in the top 20 right now( would have been top 50 if it weren't for Garcia) .
Garbine can now become the new #4 replacing Petra by winning the title which isn't implausible. Go Garbi. :cheer:
Wow, this tournament turned to shit really fast for me. :sad:
But Roberta played a good match, she is the justified winner. No excuses here, she defeated Petra with an excellent strategy, dragging her in slow paced rallies, defusing Petra's entire power game and capitalizing on her weak serving. :yeah:
If she can lose to Jankovic on GRASS at WIMBLEDON after winning her previous rounds 6-0 6-0, she can lose to anyone on any court at any time in any kind of climate. :crying:
It is unnecessary big, it lags, it's harder to find the info you want. Why do they have to change something that works?
They are so dumb I hate them, they suck at designing anything new and like to ruin anything that works.
In the Czech tabloid "Blesk" (not that reliable source but still...), there was published an extract from the interview with Radek Stepanek.
He admits there, !!! he does not want to have a relationship with a tennis player any more !!!, because after 3 such relationsships, she is persuaded...
