Wimbledon 2009 - Ladies

[Guru]

Lisicki should walk into Safina at the change of ends
that worked well for her yesterday

 

[seffina]

Ai, Safina, come on.

*sigh*

 

[Dutch-Guy]

bp Lisicki...saved...

 

[Guru]

Break point :shock:

 

[Dutch-Guy]

df Safina,sp saved.Bad call the ball was just in.

 

[martin]

Safina''s shirt is too short

 

[Guru]

Safina will ace her

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Safina the second set takes 6-4.

 

[Bud]

Safina''s shirt is too short

Yup! Her little belly is hangin' out

 

[skip1969]

Safina''s shirt is too short

yeah, that's not a cute look for her.

 

[seffina]

*phew* Hopefully the third goes the same way.

 

[Bud]

Lisicki should walk into Safina at the change of ends

God that match was confusing, yesterday... I couldn't tell which player was which when the camera zoomed out a bit from court.

 

[Guru]

1-1 Safina played well to comeback
i would make her favorite to win this match now.

Lisicki was lucky to stay in that set for as long as she did.

 

[skip1969]

the crowd just groaned there on set point. i wonder if that was sabine's shot fell into the net, or cos they have to sit through another set?

 

[soyizgood]

Safina is crazy.... For someone 6'2" her serve requires too much energy yet produces not much for power nor placement. The sad thing is she definitely works on her serve, but her technique is outdated and requires waiting such a long time before striking the ball.

That said she ties up the match one set a piece.

1-1 Safina played well to comeback

Lisicki was lucky to stay in that set for as long as she did.

Lisicki is one who will keep fighting... she never just goes away like so many WTA players... so Dinara still has her hands full.

 

[Guru]

Tell me about it. I couldn't watch that match
i saw the last three games but thats all. They looked the same
Safina and Lisnicki are weaing near enough the samething today
but these two look nothing alike.

Is she 6'2"? I thought she was 6'? Either way, your point remains. Her serve is labored.

 

[Bud]

Is she 6'2"? I thought she was 6'? Either way, your point remains. Her serve is labored.

She's taller than 6'... I'd put her between 6'1 and 6'2. Until a year or so ago... they still had her at 5'11 1/2.

Lisicki is a solid 5'10.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Safina breaks,1-0.What achoker this Lisicki:evil:

 

[Guru]

She's taller than 6'... I'd put her between 6'1 and 6'2. Until a year or so ago... they still had her at 5'11 1/2.

Lisicki is a solid 5'10.

Solid :-? she looks to me like she needs to add some mass
lookd a bit weak but maybe she will fill out in the next few years.

 

[soyizgood]

Is she 6'2"? I thought she was 6'? Either way, your point remains. Her serve is labored.

The WTA site lists her as 5'11", but Safina's official site lists her as 6'2". The WTA site once listed her as 6'2", but then changed it back to 5'11". She definitely is 6'2".

 

[Dutch-Guy]

bp Lisicki...bp saved.
edit: another bp Lisicki...saved again.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Third bp Lisicki...saved again...

 

[seffina]

Are we going to be on break this set? Even at Wimbledon?

 

[soyizgood]

Lousy drop shot from Safina. Yet another break point for Lisicki.
Another break point saved.

 

[Sentinel]

strong willed girll, seems this german one.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

df Safina,bp Lisicki...and she breaks back,1 all.Lucky net cord.

 

[Bud]

Solid :-? she looks to me like she needs to add some mass
lookd a bit weak but maybe she will fill out in the next few years.

You think Lisicki looks underweight? :shock:

I sure hope you're kidding!

 

[Bud]

df Safina,bp Lisicki...and she breaks back,1 all.

That what I was saying earlier... Lisicki is not one to fade away... she keeps the iron to the fire.

 

[soyizgood]

11th DF from Safina. BP Lisicki.

 

[Sentinel]

That what I was saying earlier... Lisicki is not one to fade away... she keeps the iron to the fire.

Unlike some compatriots like Haas, Kohl to name 2

 

[skip1969]

Are we going to be on break this set? Even at Wimbledon?

on break it is.

 

[Sentinel]

crap, broken again. 2-1 safin.

 

[soyizgood]

Safina has 2 BPs now. Convert, please...
YES!

 

[Dutch-Guy]

That what I was saying earlier... Lisicki is not one to fade away... she keeps the iron to the fire.

Nah she she needed 5 bp to break back.I can't see her winning this match.
Edit:Safina just broke again,up 2-1.That's what i'm talking about.

 

[skip1969]

i love how they just announced on espn that nbc was on the air on the east coast. i'm sure they had to say that . . . but do we really want to go from the frying pan and into the fire?

 

[seffina]

Oh is ESPN going to continue broadcasting this match? Excellent. Thank you! There's no way I'm going to switch to NBC.

What is this? A hold of serve? Say it isn't so!

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Safina holds,up 3-1.

 

[Guru]

You think Lisicki looks underweight? :shock:

I sure hope you're kidding!

No she's not underweight but she needs to fill out a bit more
add more muscle to her frame. Look at her then look at Safina or Kuznetsova
even Wozniacki is more solid looking. I'm sure she will get there.

 

[soyizgood]

3-1 Safina now. If she had a decent serve she would have won this match in straights...ugh!

 

[Sentinel]

I cant believe how Sabine makes the silliest of errors on a winner at times.

Nice pass.

 

[Sentinel]

Cmon Sabine, Hold it.

 

[soyizgood]

Lisicki's serve letting her down. Safina leads 4-1.

 

[skip1969]

i love how pan shriver is questioning the lisicki injury timeout. 100 bucks says she wouldn't dream of doing it, if venus or serena did it

 

[soyizgood]

Sabina pulling a Jankovic and called a trainer because of a strained calf.

 

[Guru]

This is bad. They should finish off the set
I hope Lisicki doesn't quit.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

i love how pan shriver is questioning the lisicki injury timeout. 100 bucks says she wouldn't dream of doing it, if venus or serena did it

To be honest i on't believe her "injury" is legit.Why do these chicks always get "injuried" when they are trailing?

 

[seffina]

What I don't get is why we couldn't watch the Dementieva match while waiting around...?

 

[skip1969]

To be honest i on't believe her "injury" is legit.Why do these chicks always get "injuried" when they are trailing?

well, who knows at this point, since as you said, everyone does it these days once they go down a break . . . i'm just saying she wouldn't be calling out her pals the way she called lisicki out.
