2020 Roland Garros - WTA General Discussion

[Russeljones]

She looks to be the real deal. Hope she maintains her remarkable composure.

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

If the plot doesn’t change quickly, this will be over in 15 minutes.

At what point do players realize trading groundstrokes with an opponent on fire isn’t a winning strategy? Swiatek doesn’t seem comfortable @ net, why not force her in?

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Americans unable to say "kv".
Petra KAVIDOVA.

 

[flyingboris]

Really impressive.
A star is born?

Great, now I've got that Gaga song stuck in my head.

 

[Dedans Penthouse]

This is the SEMI of the Grand slam. Why is WTA tennis so boring ???? and they want Equal Prize Money ???????????????????

. . Swiatek's in the zone. Enjoy the brilliance. : )
.

 

[Standaa]

Americans unable to say "kv".
Petra KAVIDOVA.

wat? how are they able to say the word quit then?

 

[Enceladus]

Kvitova-Kenin 1:2
Petra produced nice forehand cross ROS winner!

 

[Dedans Penthouse]

How do you pronounce Świątek?
I am sure it has little correlation with how it reads.

. . . .

 

[Standaa]

my stream is one game behind, great

 

[Enceladus]

Petra created nice backhand cross ROS winner!

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

wat? how are they able to say the word quit then?

Apparently it's a problem if the K sound is followed by a consonant.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Kenin is up 3-1, 1st set! Looking good!

 

[Nostradamus]

. . Swiatek's in the zone. Enjoy the brilliance. : )
.

i don't think she can blow away kenin in the final. kenin seem to know how to defuse big power hitters

 

[Standaa]

Apparently it's a problem if the K sound is followed by a consonant.

still, kvit-ova is pronounced the same way as quit-ova so I don't see how they can have a problem if the word quit is no problem

 

[Standaa]

fackin kenin man

 

[onyxrose81]

Kenin is so steady and deserves more fanfare. Kvitova is playing like she has cement on her feet though.

 

[Dedans Penthouse]

Halap crushed Amisnova something like 6-1; 6-0 and then in the next round ran into Iga who dusted her like 2&1.

If she can remain in the zone, gotta think she's gonna win it all. . Kenin-Kvitova could be an interesting tilt.

 

[pepka]

H

still, kvit-ova is pronounced the same way as quit-ova so I don't see how they can have a problem if the word quit is no problem

No it's not.

 

[TagUrIt]

Kenin is up 3-1, 1st set! Looking good!

This is the first game I’ve gotten a chance to watch live. Loving that “Kenin Strump”!!!!

Strut+Stomp = Strump

 

[Enceladus]

Petra produced many errors from backhand

 

[Enceladus]

Kvitova-Kenin 2:4
Amazing rally and Petra converted her 3rd BP!

 

[Standaa]

Kenin should take her moonballs and gtfo

 

[Enceladus]

Petra created amazing BH cross winner!

 

[Dedans Penthouse]

i don't think she can blow away kenin in the final. kenin seem to know how to defuse big power hitters

. . Not sayin she'll blow anyone away in the finals, just that she's been quietly beasting the entire fortnight (check her draw; the scores--every match--scream "in the zone").

 

[Nostradamus]

i don't buy it. she's been lucky so far, facing nobodys. she coudl be flash in the pan

 

[Zetty]

Let's go Kvitovaaaaa. Startin' to blast those shots.

 

[onyxrose81]

Kvitova waking up.

 

[TagUrIt]

If Kenin doesn’t calm down, this match will get away from her.

 

[Standaa]

kenin poor woman's henin

 

[TagUrIt]

That was a huge hold!

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Kenin was double bageled in the first round in Rome. Now she is on her way to win RG :O

 

[Standaa]

Kenin was double bageled in the first round in Rome. Now she is on her way to win RG :O

feel like Petra might be the better player at the moment

 

[Standaa]

come on Péťo break

 

[Standaa]

Kenin pushin

 

[PDJ]

i don't buy it. she's been lucky so far, facing nobodys. she coudl be flash in the pan

She beat the no.1 seed Halep. Hardly a "nobody" by any stretch.

 

[Gumbo Jackson]

First set to Kenin.

 

[flyingboris]

Kenin pushin

Pushin real good

 

[Nostradamus]

Kenin's father NEVER played tennis, LOL. Just goes to show you that if you are brilliant and smart, you can be a great coach, it doesnt' matter if you have played pro or college tennis in the past..............

 

[TagUrIt]

Way to take the first set! She can’t let up tho. Petra is DANGEROUS!

 

[Krish872007]

i don't buy it. she's been lucky so far, facing nobodys. she coudl be flash in the pan

Vondrousova - last year's RG finalist and 15th seed, Halep #1 seed and 2-time Slam Champ - sure, these are really "nobodies"...
6 straight dominant displays surely has to tell you something.

 

[Harry_Wild]

One set in the bank, one to go! 1-1 in the second set! Kenin!

 

[Standaa]

I don't know what it is but something about Kenin bothers me so much

 

[FakeEmpire]

Tough match for me. Haven't had the chance to see Iga's match, but she was clearly the one I wanted to see go forward. Here, I'm much more conflicted. On one hand, Kvitova is a sweetheart and it would be fun to see her win another Slam in the surface most of us would consider the least probable to do so. On the other hand, I do like Kenin's game and, yes, sometimes her feistiness and I don't want to betray the world order of Sofia's. We have to stick up for each other.

 

[Harry_Wild]

A big plus for Kenin is she is a winner!

 

[abmk]

Swiatek really blitzed Podoroska.

 

[Standaa]

feel like every Kenin's service game Petra has chances but so far no luck

 

[FakeEmpire]

Great stuff. Eurosport isn't able to show the marker for the time being and I've absolutely no idea how's the match going. Great, peeps, just great.

 

[Standaa]

very frustrating watching those missed chances again and again

 

[Nostradamus]

Vondrousova - last year's RG finalist and 15th seed, Halep #1 seed and 2-time Slam Champ - sure, these are really "nobodies"...

okok,,, i will buy that. but then if that is true ,,,,,, WHY hasn't she done Nothing so far in her career ?? This is like the only good slam or wta tournament she had gone this far so far

 

[Standaa]

feel like Petra can only return well when she's down on the scoreline
