2019 Indian Wells - WTA Premier Mandatory - General Discussion

[Latetothegame]

Watched McHale vs Sakkari, was glad to see McHale advance since she played qualifying also, however Sakkari was distraught with herself on court which lead to her losing in a bagel in the second set.

Sakkari seems to be in some sort of slump at the moment, not sure why.

You never know with Hsieh, she does have to ability to completely do a 180 on her oppenants

Guess not this time Konta takes it in impressive fashion

 

[socalmd123]

Wow Sloane going down

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Oh Sloane...

 

[Harry_Wild]

Stephen stinks!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

First top 10er out and we’re down to 4 left in the running for #1.

In the second set, Sloan Stephen seem like she took some drugs! Getting a bagel and it actually shows the set. Many bagel sets, the games were actually close but not Stephen’s!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Good win for Ostapenko over Zhang.

The return of Caroline Wozniacki. (but hoping Petra)

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Kasatkina continue her slump. I did expect Vondrousova to beat her but not with the score like that! So does Sloane as this is her 3rd bagel this season.

Garcia lost to Brady again while Gavrilova has the upper hand over Buzarnescu today. Did Gavrilova snap out of her slump? Will find out next match.

Anisimova is the real deal, I expect her to be in top 30 soon and Mertens should not be a problem for her (She still age restricted tho).

Garcia lost to Brady again while Gavrilova has the upper hand over Buzarnescu today.

Third time this year! Does Brady have her number or is Caroline in a slump?

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Halep survives the second round.

 

[spystud]

Mertens took the first over Anisimova @ 4.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Damn I thought Anisimova will handle her. I underestimate Mertens.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Third time this year! Does Brady have her number or is Caroline in a slump?

Definitely on a slump but Brady has some good result too. Garcia's 3 wins so far comes from Ponchet and Hives (Must be out top 100) and Pavs.

 

[flyingboris]

Anisimova struggling to find her range, and Mertens impressively solid. Mertens up 3-1 in the second set. This could be over soon.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Mertens too much for the youngster.

It's super windy out there.

It's super windy out there.

For a while I wondered if Mertens' repeated ball tossing was gamesmanship, and then they showed the flag. Yup, pretty windy!

Started a thread for the Serena match so this one doesn’t get deleted.

[flyingboris]

A well deserved win for Mertens. Wish I could have seen more of Anisimova here, but she was just not up to the task today.

 

[Kristidango]

Good win for Ostapenko over Zhang.

Nearly flawless performance.

 

[skyline]

Not able to watch the Serena-Azra clash but seems like a tight match based on the scoreline?

Serena took the first, on serve in the second, and it seems like the first took quite a while (72 minutes?). Wow.

Kenin is playing well against Svitolina

 

[spystud]

Check out this dude’s tweets about Elina, he is freaking unhinged.

[Deleted member 293577]

This is getting good, Kenin is playing top level tennis.

 

[spystud]

Elina wins a breaker to force a third.

 

[spystud]

Elina wins, so thankfully that dude can put the handgun down now.

 

[WDC]

Another good player coming through Kenin looks a top 10 player in the not too distant future. Elina at last manages to see one out she will be better for that, quit dignity at the end the way it should be at this stage of the competition.

Yea Kenin is coming like a freight train. We all can see it. Weapons wise don't see her doing huge damage. But she is coming to top 10.

Call me crazy but I think Barty is hot right now. In contrast a lot of the other top ranked ladies have been shaky so far in 2019.

@emilyhex @PDJ @elkwood @TennisLBC @time_fly

I had two that i really liked Sofa Kenin and Bencic . We know how it went with Sofa heheh

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Great win for Kerber who serves her second bagel of 2019, she had received more bagels than she’d given this year after being bagelled by Hsieh in Dubai and Collins at the AO. She’d only served one which was over Birrell also at the AO.

She’s into the 3R where she’ll play Vikhlyantseva who knocked out Suárez Navarro.

Kerber has a fairly decent draw with Sabalenka the other top seed in her eighth of the draw.

Kvitova v venus
Can we expect another 3 setter match soon?

First Monfils is teaching in Stadium 1. So not that soon.

 

[flyingboris]

Sabalenka takes out Tomljanovic 6-3 4-6 6-0

 

[flyingboris]

Vekic out, courtesy of a solid Bonaventure, 1-6 7-6(5) 6-4

 

[spystud]

Keys serving to stay, typical.

 

[spystud]

Broken at love, pathetic.

 

[flyingboris]

Broken at love, pathetic.

On the upside, now we can go enjoy another infuriating Kyrgios match.

Tsurenko comes back from a set & 1-4 down to beat Pegula.

Petra takes the first @ 4.

 

[flyingboris]

Venus takes the second! We're going into a decider.

Sorry Djoko fans

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Venus and Petra are always going 3 and quite a tight match. Both bring the best out of each other. 4 of them end up on 7 games finisher.

2017 US Open QF Hard Venus Williams Petra Kvitova 6-3 3-6 7-6(2)
2014 Beijing R16 Hard Petra Kvitova Venus Williams WO
2014 Wimbledon R32 Grass Petra Kvitova Venus Williams 5-7 7-6(2) 7-5

[tennisaddict]

Really happy for @MichaelNadal with Venus wining the second set.

A win here would mean a lot to her given the dry results the last year.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Venus takes the second! We're going into a decider.

Sorry Djoko fans

As usual lol
