2023 WTA Miami Open

[spystud]

I am watching off the WTA website, perhaps it's something else?

Yeah, that’s Ravi Ubha & Sophie Amiach.

I hope the second set doesn't turn into a runaway like they sometimes do after a very tight first set.

All I can say is Miss Cleo's got nothing on me!!

 

[bluetrain4]

Kudos, Petra. That's her 30th career title!

No sunshine double in men or women, you know what it tell us?

Just a reminder that the eras of the Big 3 and Serena are over.

Petra to TTW

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Congrats to Petra, she can still beat anyone on the tour with her tennis ! She deserves the top 10 easily.

I am a bit disappointed by Elena tonight, I found her a little bit sloppy at times, especially on some SPs in the TB, she was able to come back from difficult situations against Badosa and Pegula but Kvitova is in another class.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Yeah, that’s Ravi Ubha & Sophie Amiach.

Thanks!

i was thinking more about: todays tennis is too phisical, if you win one and get to final rounds in the next, you are gassed

Elena has hazel eyes

Serena never actually won the double. Mainly because she didn't play IW for most of her career, but still.

35 year old Federer pulled it off, so idk about that. And Djokovic may have done it in recent years if he was allowed in.

 

[LaVie en Rose]

Two beautiful players, classy speeches , good match , they make it up for the t'nt for me of course!

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Maybe she has played at a higher level than this, but Petra has never looked so damn fine. Congrats to her - for everything. And congrats to Jiri Vanek - for everything.

its becoming more phisical in recent years, as shown by how hard the new kids hit the ball, besides you are talking about 2 players that have 42 slams between the two

Right ? She aged amazingly.

Slimmed down too, it seems. But not where it counts! Those two... err... fun-damentals are looking mouth-watering.

Yeah, slimer than ever at 32, blasting off the court the most in form player at the moment, who is 22, not a sing of tiredness, not a drop in intensity, nothing to see here folks!

Hoenstly, there are plenty of female players high on my list, but Petra has never been one of them. Nothing about her game, appearance or athletic performance over the years strikes me as suspicious in any way. But then again, you never know.

lack of gesture in the face 3 out of 5 times means a substance is messing with your consciousness, studies are there, so chances are there, besides kvitovas cousin is very friends of a friends of nadal, and you know who is a common friend? doctor cotorro, kvitova regularly asks for a second opinion on "health issues" from him, world is a small place innit?

Those 2 players were the only ones who did the double in the last 20 years anyway. So not having a champion pull it off now could be evidence of the Big 3 simply aging out as much as it's evidence of the game becoming more physical.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Who do YOU want to win the doubles tomorrow and why?

JPeg/Guaff because they could use the pick-me-up. Though the lefties might be nice too. I don't know.

I was wondering when she publicly admired Nadal after numbing Foot -this might be my last match operation RG 22.I couldn’t see any connection at time ,they are totally diff athletes in style,game approach and found her exuberance quite odd.If true your post explains it.It’s personal connection .Petra seems to have kind of tremor ,shakes her shoulders consistently throughout the match.Could be psychological trauma she sustained after attack

Haha nah i was just messing with bungle, not serious

I could see , yet I was recalling I found odd Petra exuberance over Nadal haha

It's good to see top singles players having great success in doubles. Doubles get a little attention boost from this type of participation. It's certainly makes it more appealing for more fans than just watching "no-name" career doubles players.

It's an all-North American WTA Doubles Final! The pre-match odds is favoring Gauff/Pegula.

Townsend looking even smaller than she did in Australia. She's never going to look slender given her build, but she definitely looks a little fitter. Wonder if it's just a good old regular fitness and nutrition plan or if she's also using Ozempic or one of the other relatively new drugs developed for diabetes but have taken off as weight loss drugs.

Not a bad day for Pegula/Gauff. They get to split $436,730. That's in addition to $352,635 for Pegula and $55,770 for Gauff.

Was the Dubs televised?

 

[spystud]

Yeah, I’m sure TC will show it again after the men’s final replay on now.

 

[Ronaldo]

Thought it would be on T2 but 2017 Fed-Kyrios on instead.

Hhhmmm… the clay season is starting, so Iga and her ribs are miraculously recovered.

That call was really strange. Definitely looked out when the point was played, and the replay didn't help either.

I really hate to agree with a doughnut like Ostapenko, but I still don't think the electronic system is 100% reliable. Usually not an issue, but let's not pretend it is perfect and faultless.

Also, they really need to have some sort of visual clue for a ball that is called out. Maybe have a red light flash or something. There are tournaments where the volume levels are off and you sometimes can't tell what the call was (even looking at player reactions). And if you have a baby sleeping in your house, you sometimes have to watch on mute, which is really annoying.

Kvitova beating Rybakina is very similar to Sinner beating Alcaraz but here we go with the WTA be like comments...

Not sure I'm seeing this. Alcaraz and Sinner are very close in age, but have different playing styles. Also, both Alcaraz and Sinner have been in form recently.

Kvitova and Rybakina are many years apart, although they play similar tennis. And while Rybakina is clearly in form, Kvitova has been fairly inconsistent. Just not seeing it...

Right ? She aged amazingly.

Dude, she's 32. That's not old at all. When you see Jennifer Aniston or Madonna looking really good at 55 (despite what Madonna has done to herself recently), then you can say they aged well...
