[spystud]

Sloane gonna Sloane, rolled up in the first by Arina Rodionova.

 

[Nostradamus]

Sloane gonna Sloane, rolled up in the first by Arina Rodionova.

What's wrong with sloan ?? making ton of unforced errors ……. with that solinco confidential string, she should be blowing away everyone

 

[James P]

How does someone go from Slam contender to losing to someone ranked near #200?

 

[spystud]

She does this all the time in non-Slams. It’s called lack-o’-give-a-sh*t.

 

[spystud]

2 & 2, that is just embarrassing.

 

[spystud]

CiCi wins the breaker to force 3 against Bouzkova.

 

[spystud]

Pavs takes the first over Barty.

 

[spystud]

CiCi survives in almost 3 hours, great fight.

 

[TagUrIt]

Hey just wanted say special thanks to @spystud for always creating WTA threads. I know the WTA is not that popular for some, but for those of us that follow it passionately, is nice to see someone leading the charge and posting threads.

 

[James P]

Vondrousouva looking pretty sharp for last playing in Wimbledon. Up 6-3 5-0

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Sloane the problematic girl.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Garcia lost to Cabrera. Garcia needs to hang out with Ms Stephen.

 

[flyingboris]

Sabalenka-Hsieh coming up in a bit. Could be a fun one.

 

[spystud]

Barty wins 7-5.

 

[spystud]

Pera knocks out Strycova in straights.

 

[spystud]

And Julia does the same to Hon.

 

[TagUrIt]

Glad Jule got the win, just really wish I could have seen the match.

 

[spystud]

I watched the last 3 games or so on a stream, there were plenty of good seats still available in the stands.

 

[speedysteve]

I'm watching Sabalenka Vs Hseih on Amazon Prime replay..
Saba looking leaner than last year. Should help her court speed.

 

[spystud]

Vekic beat Sakkari in 3, Angie/Yastremska up now.

 

[James P]

Kerber is out, medical retirement

 

[spystud]

Welp, that was quick.

 

[spystud]

TC is showing Garbine/Jabeur over Kenin/Collins right now, that makes sense in America.

 

[spystud]

Hey, they listened.

 

[spystud]

Danielle takes the first @ 3.

 

[James P]

She's bashing Kenin off the court.

 

[spystud]

Breadstick delivered.

 

[TagUrIt]

Just watched the highlights of the Collin/ Kenin match.WOW! Danimal was looking really sharp, very aggressive, really strong ball striking.

I saw her live at the US Open 2019, she is fierce!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Collins with her new Babolat Pure Aero played a beat down powered type game that hit winners right and left and everywhere else against Kenin. Very powerful! 6-3, 6-1!

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Marketa just make Sloane looks reaaal bad.

 

[TagUrIt]

Collins with her new Babolat Pure Aero played a beat down powered type game that hit winners right and left and everywhere else against Kenin. Very powerful! 6-3, 6-1!

Did she used to hit with Head racquets? Her tennis bag was Head, but her racquet was Babolat.

 

[D-Lite]

Vondrousova has now won her last 3 sets played 6-0, and gets Barty next.

 

[spystud]

Vekic serving @ 4-5 against Yastremska.

 

[spystud]

Dayana breaks for the set.

 

[Yoneyama]

Really do not like Yastremska, she is purposely screeching her shoes on her opponent's second serves, then returning back to her split step position.

 

[spystud]

4 & 3 for Dayana, gets the winner of Simona/Sabalenka next.

 

[James P]

Good win there by Yastremska.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Muguruza gives a walkover in Hobart to Kudermetova

Currently watching Halep v Sabalenka. Simo breaks to start.

 

[James P]

Need her to win for options in SDL lol

 

[spystud]

YouTube link since TC is showing us Isner.

 

[spystud]

Not looking good for Simona, serving down 0-3 after dropping the first.

 

[spystud]

And broken again.

 

[spystud]

4 & 2, that was a whoopin’.

 

[spystud]

On serve in the first between Bencic/Collins on TC now.
