Bouchard's Thoughts On Sharapova

[tenisdecente]

I think I love Genie. I prefer legitimate people than PC girls. Well done spoiled girl!

 

[MichaelNadal]

Putting her money where her mouth is. Genie better slay! Im about to catch the highlights.

Genie did it for the culture, lmaoool

But for real, she did that and it's amazing

 

[SLD76]

Many who came here illegally were escaping poverty, sex trafficking, and gangs - the kind of poor and huddled masses who were supposed to be given the first priority. What is wrong with that? They just happened to be nearby and found it a little easier (easier is a relative term as thousands also died in the process). People are not pieces of paper on which a rubber stamp called Illegal or Legal can be put. As for the people complaining about it, their ancestors illegally stole land from the natives, broke all the treaties, and brought over people in chains in ships and sold them at auctions, and even fought a civil war to try to continue doing it. Talk about legal and illegal.

It's funny to me how the usual suspect suspects have something to say about this post which is nothing but truthful

 

[Bartelby]

It's nice to be back in the world of Cold War sporting rivalries. It's so retro.

"I'm just one of the two players out on the court," Sharapova said. "Everything that surrounds myself, I don't pay attention to much of it. I've been part of this game for many years. I know what the drill is."

Too funny.. like not paying attention to banned substances lists, checking emails. She clearly didn't know what the drill was. Ah Maria, aloof as ever. Damn entertaining match though!

 

[Bartelby]

Sharapova plays with objectivity. Bouchard needs to confect a scandal to motivate her. And who is the champion? Sharapova, not Bouchard.

Yes, and Sharapova has several Majors going back way back to her teenage years......... and what has Bouchard done so far ??? sue WTA and fall into challengers.........??

At least for now she is having the last laugh, but this is not even close to the ending

 

[Bartelby]

Sharapova has barely played in fifteen months, so Bouchard has to thank WADA for being able to beat Sharapova.

 

[disgruntledamsel]

Maria should take some PR lessons from Bouchard. Bouchard screwed up with that handshake nonsense, then the lawsuit and everyone was hating on her for those things or her attitude, or too much social networking, or too much modeling or too much losing, then the superbowl date, etc..... but then she teed up those provocative, sweeping statements about Sharapova and created a diversion/opportunity for herself: just beat Sharapova - just win this one very important match - and all else will be forgiven...because Sharapova is a bigger villain. Very fortuitous that the match came so quickly after her comments. Well played. Of course the story would be much different had she lost. But she didn't. And, there is an added benefit: it truly looks like she can open up a can of whoopass when she is sufficiently motivated. That's powerful stuff. She deliberately put public pressure on herself and delivered. Muguruza and Stosur can't even handle home court pressure. Damn Genie.

 

[Bartelby]

The story is the same no matter who won. Sharapova is not a drug cheat and all the legal processes she went through came to that conclusion.

If you need external motivation to motivate you, and of the worst political kind, then you better see Pepe for advice.

This is what I mean about you embarrassing yourself


This is the same Bouchard that got destroyed in a Furtures event


You are lying through your teeth if you can honestly say any tennis pundit gave Genie half a chance to win this match

 

[Bartelby]

It's obviously not the same Bouchard who was recently destroyed.

Bouchard is a fluky player who has little inner motivation, but Sharapova provided her with the motivation she habitually lacks.

That's all there is to it!

Oh, so its not because Maria is rusty but because Genie was inspired

At least you cast off some of the b.s. you were trying to spread

 

[every7]

The WTA is about to be so interesting

Couldn't agree more.

- Sharapova return (will she get DE to FO? or have to play qualies?)
- Azarenka return
- Kvitova Comeback (this to me will be the cherry on the top of an amazing year)
- Muguruza defending FO
- Kerber return to form
- Bouchard, Keys mounting the second stage of their development
- Serena having more free time to troll Sharapova on social media
- VEE

 

[Bartelby]

Inspired? - Sharapova does have that effect on people. You are right.

 

[SystemicAnomaly]

So there can be only 1 reason for Genie's win?

You forgot KaroPlis getting to #1

Maria was hardly "rusty" given one win away from making the finals in Stuttgart


A better excuse would be she made too many errors and played some big points poorly


But Genie is hardly rusty and she did the same so, even money

 

[Bartelby]

Talk up Maria, Talk down Genie equals The Victory was a triumph of Good in the midst of adversity versus all conquering Evil.

The Holy Book can generate any number of potboilers!

Never, NEVER understimate the will and desire of a motivated woman. This is the perfect example of that

- Serena having more free time to troll Sharapova on social media

OMG this made me laugh so hard that I spilled the soda. LMAO

 

[Bartelby]

'desire of a motivated woman' - who has been reading romance novels around here?, I wonder.

 

[every7]

You forgot KaroPlis getting to #1

Oh SHxT! How the hell did I forget about Karo Pliskova?! Agree, it's another thing to look forward to. I expect her to win big later on in the year when U.S. Open series kicks off.

Do you think she could also develop a Sharapova-esque power clay game?

Wasn't Serena one of the only players to actually come out in defense of Sharapova when the story came out - praising her courage and heart, and for taking responsibility for her actions?

 

[The Green Mile]

Genie getting up for this one is hilarious. A freshly motivated and inspired Genie, all thanks to the ice queen lmao...

Serena was very classy about that incident, agreed. I mean trolling Sharapova in subtler ways on less political subjects ala retweeting Genie's victory status today lol. All in fun.

I dont think Maria will have fun with that tweet, coming from his mother in tennis. LMAO

 

[Bartelby]

I'm sure Sharapova will have fled to her panic room on reading this tweet quicker than anyone would when the drug testers come knocking!

 

[sbengte]

I bet none of you realized that the young artist may have been the real bone of contention here.

 

[Bartelby]

Women are such crotch-gazers!

 

[tenisdecente]

They were a cute couple you know, better than see Dimitrov with a MILF. It is a pity Masha does not like losers

 

[Bartelby]

I actually warmed to Sharapova for the first time when the camera followed her face as she watched Dimitrov in action.

She was really deeply in love with him at that point.
