2015 WTA China Open

[JJGUY]

The ***** did the same thing against kuznetsov

then Kuzzy needs to learn from Bacsinzky - how to destroy your opponent with contempt!

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Really hoping Muguruza defeats Aga. That way we will be guaranteed a new premier mandatory champion. AND both Muguruza and Bacsinzky have never won anything more then a WTA international yet they've both had deep runs at grand slams! I also love both players so i'll be happy either way

I'd like a new champion too, but I'd rather see Timea win than Garbiñe.

Any reason?

 

[Noleberic123]

Ughhh Ana what are you doing

 

[spystud]

Aga wins the first @ 4.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Any reason?

There's something about Muguruza's game I don't like. And the idea that she might dominate in the next few years seems like more of the same once again. Hit hard and deep, hard and deep, hard and deep, hard and deep. She's a clumsier version of Serena Williams and too similar to Capriati, whose game I wasn't a fan of.

Interesting. I disagree but respect the opinion.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

This is an amazing game at 3-1 in the 2nd set wow!!!

 

[Tennis wizard]

muga went from being up 3 - 1 40 love up and now back to 3 all .. facepalm!

 

[JJGUY]

ESPN3 has no women's matches for today but all men's were live, why is that?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Muguruza takes the 2nd!! WOO!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Muguruza up a break in the 3rd. YES!!

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Ugh, Radwanska always disappoints.

 

[Tennis wizard]

Crowds terrible for a semi

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Muguruza on fire.
Up a double break!!! 5-1!!! Serving for a spot in the final. WOOOO!

 

[JJGUY]

5:1 Mugu serves for the match!

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Crowds terrible for a semi

Also, these courts have no atmosphere at all. It's not just the lack of people attending, the whole thing just feels cold and soulless. Perhaps it's due to the lower seats being segregated from the others - and from each other - with those barriers.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Muguruza saves 2 break points. Deuce. 2 points from the final!!
Aga gets 1 break back

 

[Tennis wizard]

Poor service game from muguruza

Actually looks quite comfortable lol but yeah such a big stadium with so few people is going to have zero atmosphere

actually it's due to the reason that the fans go crazy for ATP not WTA, at least that's the case in Beijing.

 

[Tennis wizard]

Muga must have thought the match was already over the way shes been playin the last 2 games

 

[Tennis wizard]

Muga looking good again

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Aga serves to 40-0. Now at deuce Come on Muguruza!!! MATCH POINT MUGURUZA!

[Tennis wizard]

[Tennis wizard]

[Tennis wizard]

fark i wanna see the ferrer novak match already

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Oh gawd i got bad feeling

Hopefully this isn't the first set where she led a break but went on to lose it :/

 

[Supertegwyn]

I thought at 5-1 Djokovic was just around the corner.

I have to sleeeeeep.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

AMAZING! Aga wins 3 straight games but Muguruza wins it just in the knick of time!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

MUGURUZA WINS. YES!!!!

 

[Tennis wizard]

FINALLY !

 

[spystud]

That a girl, Garbine.

 

[JJGUY]

Muguruza is usually quiet tonight , I hope she is not injured, anyway it's a good win for her despite the last few games.

 

[Tennis wizard]

Strange way to win for muguruza relying heavily on Radwanska errors

 

[Aussie Darcy]

If Muguruza wins the title she will be 2 points, yes only 2 points away from World number 3 Sharapova. What a freaking year for her! So happy

 

[JJGUY]

well, we will have a brand new premiere mandatory champion tomorrow!

 

[JJGUY]

Has Muguruza withdrawn from Hong Kong Open yet? I hope she will . She needs a good rest for the WTA final.

If Muguruza wins the title she will be 2 points, yes only 2 points away from World number 3 Sharapova. What a freaking year for her! So happy

if she wins, she will overtake Sharapova by almost 200 points, move to No. 3 in the race ranking.

The WTA live ranking has Muguruza at 4340 and winning will get her to 4690 points. Sharapova will be 4692. ?

the ranking is based on the rolling 52 weeks, Sharapova's points includes the ones she earned from last year's WTA final where Muguruza was not there. The race ranking is based on the calendar year, Muguruza will have more points than Sharapova if she wins Beijing, but of course the year end ranking could still change depends on how well they play against each other in the WTA final week.

Oh yeah I know the diffefrence between the two. I see where we got mixed up. I was talking about the current ranking whilst you were talking about the race ranking.

 

[Devil_dog]

Just woke up and caught the replay of Timea vs. Ana Ivanovic match. Wow, what a comeback for Timea! Third time she's had to come from 1st set down to rally and win. 4th three setter too.

Hope she has enough in the tank to take on Gabby in the finals.

 

[tennisaddict]

Great doubles final between Chan sisters and Santina. First set was superb with some drama with Hingis outburst at the umpire for not recognizing a racket touch by the opponents on a deciding point.

Santina won 6-7(9-11), 6-1, 1-0(10-8)

 

[JJGUY]

no one watching? T-Bac leads 4:2 so far. Mugu has trouble with her service game, both struggled with their service but T-Bac has one hold. T-Bac does a very good job here to hold Mugu and disturb her rhythm, not let her dominate the court.

 

[JJGUY]

T-Bac failed to serve out at 5:3, broken to love. Mugu holds and we are 5 all now.

 

[Pagoo]

Ugh! Bac and her crappy serve. Couldn't serve out the set.

 

[Fedinkum]

Muguruza's legs are so hot...

 

[Pagoo]

I still don't get why the ladies are so bad at holding serve.

 

[Pagoo]

Muguruza's legs are so hot...

Ahem! This is a tennis forum where we discuss tennis, and not parts of the female anatomy.

 

[Pagoo]

Watch her get broken and lose the set now.
