I've Got A Pliskova Easy Feeling!

[spystud]

@stringertom, I see you're online, are you at least watching lefty?! 5-all in the 3rd against Domi.

 

[jm1980]

Haven't been this bummed out since Djokovic lost to Istomin

I guess I've become a Pliskova fan

 

[Nostradamus]

Pliskova is really not good. All serve and nothing else. just like Karlovic

How does a player with "all serve and nothing else" generate 23 BPs in a 3-set match?

She had break points in 14 of Cibulkova's 18 service games

Just for grins, I looked up what's the most BPs Karlovic got in a match, ever... And it was 15, against Bjorkman (2007 RG). That was over a five set match

Sweet Karolina reppin

No, just saw she was cruising early and now just found out the sad result.

Sorry to tell you that mate.

You left out head troll Sewretch...what an oversight!

Just saying

 

[Cenarius]

Making UO final really was an inflexion point in her career.

Bold prediction: Karolina Pilskova wins a slam or she will be number 1 this year

 

[donquijote]

Her movement improved so much. Hard work will certainly pay off.

 

[jhick]

She actually makes it look easy at times. Effortless power, good groundstrokes (especially FH), probably the best serve on the WTA. Movement and consistency can be a weakness at times. Karlovic is a weird comparison. Dr. Ivo is mostly a serve and volleyer, and net player. He is weaker from the baseline.

When you say she' really not good it pretty much destroys your credibility, though I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're just trolling as usual. She's #3 in the world. You are like the people who stated Errani stunk when she got up to #5 in the world and that they could beat her in a match.

Now it is

 

[donquijote]

I got so mad that I could not sleep. 52% 1st serve and passive indecisive game.
Congrats to Kuznetsova. She deserved to win.

Maybe something was bothering her? You don't see her playing with kinesio tape very often

That is not entirely correct. She is a very clean striker..when she is on.

Happy 25th to our favorite twins!

Kristyna opens Miami on Grandstand against Minella in about 2.5 hours.

Started terribly

Who is who

 

[spystud]

Lefty Kristyna with the face paint, righty Karolina without.


Lefty lost her opening match in 3 today.

thanks
I thought other way round

Karolina has a tattoo on her arm & krissy not or both have one?

 

[spystud]

Kristyna's is on her left forearm (you can see part of it in the pic), Karolina's is on her left upper arm. Karolina also has one on her left thigh.

Lost to Minella

Huge setback from a good showing in IW

 

[donquijote]

Karolina is on her way to the second Premier Mandatory title after Cincinnati 2016. The path is relatively easier this time. She needs to beat Wozniacki today in Miami and then Venus or Konta in the final. Let's see if she is serious about being No1. If she can't, it may get harder following years.

 

[stringertom]

Karolina looked sharp early in the first set but there's a lot of Sewretch seeping into her game with some Spray City shots. This is not the Pliskova easy feeling I was expecting.

She doesn't like playing in hot weather for some reason and playing against Woz is never easy. Once the first serves start falling in, easy feeling will be back.
I also don't understand why she never plays serve/volley. She is an excellent doubles player.

Woz gifted that first set. Maybe she settles in now with the lead.

 

[yharzu]

is there a stream, so i can watch it while i wait for the fed match?

edit: nvm, found one

You won't beat Wozniacki serving 51% and rallying to her BH.

And spraying like the GOATsprayer!

 

[stringertom]

This was fugly!

Happy for Woz...her first ever Miami final. If she plays this well Saturday she has a great chance to win.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Pathetic last two sets by pliskova. Eats two breadsticks.

 

[Nostradamus]

Question is Was Pliskova injured ?? how was she getting 2 breaksticks by Caroline ? I know Carol was very hot today and playing well but 6-1 6-1 don't make sense

 

[skyline]

Makes sense when the serve deserts you, you err wildly (esp on FH), all the while the opponent is as solid as a rock.

I didn't catch absolutely everything but I think the above is a relatively fair anatomy of the loss.

I will be curious to see how Karolina does on clay this year. She has been in a new phase since Cincy, and I wonder if her results there will improve markedly, like Keys's did last year.

 

[jm1980]

Kristyna wins her opening match at Biel, beating 4th seeded Vinci 6-4, 6-4

Hope she wins the whole thing

Who ? That is not Roger Daltry.

Kristyna too incosnistent so win it all

 

[jaggy]

Thread deserves a bump. Or two bumps and I suppose one might argue four.

 

[spystud]

Yep, lefty Kristyna in the Prague final against Barthel.

I have goosebumps thinking of a ménage a trois!

@vive le beau jeu !

 

[jaggy]

Somewhat apt, she goes down in 3

 

[donquijote]

I am giving up on Karolina and will be rooting for Svitolina until Petra comes back to form. Very dissapointed in her in 2017. Kerber is knocked out and there's no dominant player yet Ka. loses every 1/8 or 1/4 match.

Won Brisbane, Australian Open QF, Won Doha, SF Indian Wells, SF Miami, QF Stuttgart.

Out of form of late but Pliskova has never been good on clay. To say you're disappointed in her 2017 is hilarious. Her 2017 has been fantastic. She wouldn't be number 1 in the Race to Singapore if she was having a bad year...
