2018 WTA TIANJIN, HONGKONG and LINZ (INT.)

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

I hope that the rain delay has not played with Wang's rhythm. Elina is really powerless, she can only bring her best against lower ranked players. I hope that next year is better for her.

Everyone suspect that her dramatic weight loss has been the cause of the major downhill on her results.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

It's Pliskova vs Garcia for final. 1st and 2nd seeds.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Bertens needs SF or better in Moscow.
If Pliskova lost tomorrow, she also need to reach SF in Moscow. If she win she qualify.

With Svitolina lost, Sloane qualify!

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Also the draw and party will be on Friday right?

Imagine if Halep, Pliskova, Stephens and Bertens all on SF in Moscow.
Only Wozniacki, Kerber, Osaka and Kvitova took a photo in front of the Merlin thing with Svitolina taking the photo.

 

[AM75]

Yastremska watches too many Anderson matches.

 

[fundrazer]

Disappointed Mugu lost. Although I see she is playing Luxembourg now.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Yastremska watches too many Anderson matches.

Said come on on every point?

 

[AM75]

Said come on on every point?

Yup

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Yastremska watches too many Anderson matches.

Maybe Lisicki is her role model also.

And Daria Gavri.

 

[AM75]

Maybe Lisicki is her role model also.

And Daria Gavri.

It was almost a carbon copy of Anderson's celebration, similarities were uncanny. Gavrilova, Serena and Lisicki are not even close.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Garcia beat Pliskova for Tianjin title.

Bertens need to reach SF.
Pliskova need to reach SF if Bertens reach SF.

Why is Wang being destroyed in this final?

 

[AM75]

Yastremska's post match handshake was awful, probably because she's quite young and it's her first tournament win excitement and all. But, really she looked like a spoiled b*tch, no respect for Wang or the umpire.

I saw the last few games. It's her first title. She want to quickly hug her coach maybe. Her final in Wimby Juniors where she lost seems like she is an okay person.

Why is Wang being destroyed in this final?

Based on the last few games that I watch, Yastremska was firing winners and also Wang got both leg taped. Note that this is Wang 5th week non-stop where she reach SF or more.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

If Alexandrova beat Giorgi then underdog went 3-0 in finals.

 

[AM75]

I saw the last few games. It's her first title. She want to quickly hug her coach maybe. Her final in Wimby Juniors where she lost seems like she is an okay person.

I just think WTA should punish for non-handshakes and self-cheering after opponents double faults and UEs.

 

[sortof]

Congrats to Camila Giorgi, by winning Linz 6:3, 6:1 against Alexandrova she earned her second title and a new career high ranking (#28).

 

[I Am Finnish]

- Stephens has qualified for the finals cause Svitolina is not playing luxembourg or moscow.

- Svitolina will not qualifly if both bertens & Pliskova reach the sf

Did nobody during the design phase of the Linz trophy raise their hand and say "ummmm guys?"

You are crazy. Does ANYONE else have a problem with this?

You must be a freaking blast at parties.

 

[AM75]

You must be a freaking blast at parties.

It's not a proper handshake. She even doesn't look at Wang. Sure she's overwhelmed but still. But yeah she learns from the best in the game obviously. Giorgi, Putintseva, Woz when she loses, you name it.

 

[spystud]

She’s 18, just won her first career title & over $163K. I’m sure you would have reacted like Fed does now when you were 18. Unreal you are so bothered by it.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

I think you're biased because you hate her come-on on every point. It's her first title on tour and to me it looks like she was overwhelmed.

 

[helixx]

didnt see a single point of the honkong final but really happy for Yastremska. Ukraine is gonna make a lot of noise on tour with all their upcoming players.

 

[NuBas]

What you talking about, its one of nicest trophies I've seen.

 

[NuBas]

Why is Wang being destroyed in this final?

Did she not play twice on one day following the final? Any way she's fatigued she's been doing great last several weeks.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

What you talking about, its one of nicest trophies I've seen.

Clearly it's kind of resemble genital especially with the balls.

 

[flyingboris]

What you talking about, its one of nicest trophies I've seen.

It's pretty nice, but the balls at the base were a bad choice. If you don't see it you must have a pure mind, at least compared to mine. Keep it that way!

I don't have pure mind but tbh growing up watching anime that kinda remind me of Sakura's stick than genitals.

Well I could see what you were inferring but I don't see much a resemblance unless you have 8 balls and a halo of leafs. It looks more like what @NaomiKonjuhPotapova posted above.
Another really nice trophy is the ATP Shanghai one, really cool.

I mean.. I guess they could change the bottom
