WOMEN'S - 2010 Australian Open

[soyizgood]

Li breaks back at love. 3-1 Li. Woz asking to see the trainer...

I thought the trainer couldn't come out until change of ends??

Now I'm rooting for Li to wipe Woz out...

Now it's a medical timeout? Okay so the WTA won't enforce its own rules because Woz was indirectly threatening to retire.

I'm with you. Throwing a little fit. Low class from Woz.

 

[soyizgood]

Woz seems to have no problems moving now.. Was there some sort of magic spray involved? I'm calling BS on Woz's "medical" issue.

 

[soyizgood]

Woz breaks back. 2-3 Woz to serve. The tour needs to enforce its rules, not cherry pick them. Especially at slams. Woz should have been penalized a game at the very least.

This :evil:


Now Li do your job and finish this in 2

 

[soyizgood]

Triple BP for Li...
Li breaks back up 4-2. GO LI!

 

[soyizgood]

Woz breaks back. This is a break-fest set. 3-4 Woz.

 

[soyizgood]

This is becoming your typical choke-fest. Neither girl can hold their serve.
Triple break pt... Now 30-40 for Li.

 

[soyizgood]

Li breaks and will serve for the match 5-3.
15-0.. Nice forehand winner.
Nice recovery by Woz. Li couldn't scoop it up. 15-15.
15-30 as woz hits a solid backhand Li couldn't do anything with...
30-30 as Woz DTL bh went wide...
40-30 as Li's wide out serve made it easy to put that weak return away.
DEUCE with Li bh sailing long...
Li serves out wide again with same result... MP Li.

GSM Li 6-4 6-3!

What an awful match. A brainless basher who just hits winners or errors early in points with no point construction at all, and a pusher who hardly makes errors but hardly makes any winners either.

the basher is still more entertaining then a pusher

Li 21W-34UE
Wozniacki 3W-22UE

Who is the pusher? They were both going for winners - Li Na was just better today.

Glad she won - Woz's call for the trainer was total gamesmanship - she was fine...

[nabbydian]

Li 21W-34UE
Wozniacki 3W-22UE

3 winners in the whole match? :shock: thats not enough to win you the game :twisted:

 

[All-rounder]

Li 21W-34UE
Wozniacki 3W-22UE

3 WINNERS :shock: Did she think it was best of..........1 game

 

[nabbydian]

3 WINNERS :shock: Did she think it was best of..........1 game

did they put the stats wrongly? Woziacki has 3 wins so far in AO :twisted:

Are you kidding....3 winners from Caro?

 

[soyizgood]

I said Wozniacki was not likely to hit more than 5 winners. Pushniacki didn't disappoint...LOL

 

[Topaz]

Commentators said something about her being injured?

Didn't get to see it myself...just got home from my own match (errr, or slaughter would be more accurate!).

Some surprising scores!

Read my post on the previous page. Woz tried to cheat, imho.

 

[jeansain]

She was fine. It was obviously a tactical (to be polite) move. Fortunately for tennis, unfortunately for her, it didn't work.

 

[Bloodshed]

Wozniacki just goes to show you how much of a pusher she trully is.

Beautiful on the outside but ugly on the inside

3 winners through the whole match? WTF?

That's worse than the Clijsters Petrova match.

I can't believe she lost in 4 and 3.

It should of been 0 and 0 easily.

Also it goes to show you how much of a brainless basher also Na Li is since she should of pounded Wozniacki into oblivion.

The draw for Serena gets easier and easier.

Azarenka better not lose to that crying psycho b1tch Zvonareva.

 

[Strobe Lights]

Just noticed there was 12 breaks in 19 games in the Li-Wozniacki match. Wozniacki with 3 winners and 22 UEs. Sounds like a nightmare to watch.

dont think about this nightmare anymore, think about how great it will be when Makiri plays

 

[Strobe Lights]

Lets hope the retirements keep rolling in, so we can keep seeing her play.

 

[Bloodshed]

If Makiri forgets she belongs in the Russian Mafia style, she'll be fine vs Zheng (DFs, chokes on SP/MPs, high UE count)

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Serena breaks,up 3-2.
Edit:Serena holds,up 4-2.
Stosur holds,3-4.
Solid serve by Serena to hold,up 5-3.
Clutch serve by Stosur,4-5.

 

[Bloodshed]

Typical routine match from Serena as usual.

No one in her section will stop her besides Azarenka.

The only one who could stop her in the finals is Henin and even that I'm doubting very much.

This AO is written in stone for Serena unfortunately

 

[Dutch-Guy]

First set to my girl Serena 6-4.Keep up the good job.
Edit:early break for Serena in the second,1-0.
Serena holds after saving 3 BPs, 2-0.

 

[Cantankersore]

Enberg blows. But Serena did play very well.

 

[Topaz]

Wow.. Woz being out-Wozed right now... :shock: She's the one making the mindless errors.

Woz's problem is when her pushing doesn't work, she lacks an extra gear to turn the tables. Right now she's at Li's mercy and Li is just hitting patient, yet effective shots.

What an awful match. A brainless basher who just hits winners or errors early in points with no point construction at all, and a pusher who hardly makes errors but hardly makes any winners either.

See, this is what drives me nuts here...make up your mind...Li can't be a brainless basher while hitting patient, effective shots.

Who is the pusher? They were both going for winners - Li Na was just better today.

Glad she won - Woz's call for the trainer was total gamesmanship - she was fine...

That's how it works here...you're either a pusher or a basher. The women can't win either way.

If her call for the trainer was at the wrong time, then why did the chair ump let her do it? The chair ump needs to enforce the rules and not let players get away with stuff like that.

I was curious since I hadn't seen it, and I remember how her legs were all wrapped up at the end of last year (and the horrible cramping at the YEC).

Read my post on the previous page. Woz tried to cheat, imho.

Again, though, she asked, and the chair ump said yes, right? Then it is the chair ump you should be mad at, IMO.

 

[Topaz]

Vera and Aza on court...3-all. I'm glad they are showing it...both ladies have been quietly moving through. I love Vera's game actually...just wary of her temper, temper, temper! Hope her ankles are finally healthy, too.

Azarenka and "quietly" should never be in the same sentence .

i'm glad they are showing it too - Azarenka looks very pretty in that nike dress, she looks especially cute when she has those hairband on

LOL! Good point!

Ok, one of my spring USTA teams choose that outfit for our uniform...I have it already, only my skirt is gray. It is very soft and comfy, but wow...the pink in person is *very* bright!!! :shock: We will blind our opponents!

I'm at work now, and wishing I had set the DVR further...I won't get the 3rd set.

 

[Topaz]

Uh oh...will Aza run away with it here???

 

[Topaz]

Oh c'mon Vera...it isn't too late!

Though, I like Vika, too...just don't want to see Vera get bageled out here.

 

[Topaz]

Wow, Azarenka playing some great aggressive tennis. A zinger FH down the line to get to 5-0. Pretty sure Vera has no fight left.

I love, love, love to see Vika playing this way!

 

[Topaz]

MP for Vika! VZ sends a BH wide...or does she?

And there's a challenge by Vera, but I think Vika's got it...

OHHH, the ball was in!!!! They play on!

 

[Topaz]

MP#2 - and Vika takes it for sure this time!

Vika vs. Serena rematch!!!

Ha, the 3rd set was so short, I did get to see it before my first class!

 

[nabbydian]

LOL! Good point!

great choice by ur team, nice outfit you'll look good on the courts

 

[soyizgood]

Topaz,

I take it the Sharapova dress didn't make the cut... lol

 

[canuckfan]

Serena vs Henin

Yes, very premature post...but I can't see anyone left in the women's draw preventing a justine vs serena final. Should be a good one. Hopefully justine can complete the super comeback like kim did. I see serena's greatness on the court (when she cares to compete). However her total lack of class prevents me from ever really rooting for her. Henin for #8!

 

[nabbydian]

Makiri and Zheng Jie on the courts now

 

[skip1969]

it's not so much who gets to the final, so much as how they are playing. and right now, nobody is lookin' all that great.

Makiri is looking great in another way :twisted:

 

[soyizgood]

Strange that there are more ethnic Ukrainians (Kirilenko, Azarenka) in the QFs than ethnic Russians (Petrova). Seriously, who would have thought Petrova and Kirilenko moving further than Dementieva/Safina/Zvonareva/Kuznetsova? Then again, the words Russian and consistency don't belong in the same sentence.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Early break Venus 1-0.
Edit:Vee already cruising,3-0
