WTA week of 1/9; Adelaide 2 500 & Hobart 250

There's always a first for everything in tennis!
Never saw a player before (male or female) squeeze out sweat from their shirt on court!
Pretty gross. :(
I wonder what will they think of next?

You've never seen that before? I've seen it a bunch, particularly the Spanish players (not sure why). But Verdasco, Lopez and others have all done it. Not a new thing, at least to me. But it is gross.
 
Frech was pretty stale by the time she lost the match.
But then again, so was Vickery.
It took 9 match points for Vick to seal the deal!
 
That was funny. Badosa not happy with a Kanepi winner - huffing and puffing, staring at the line, glancing at the linesman, glancing at her box, finally challenges. Hawkeye shows it was in by literally at least a foot.
 
BHM in 2nd set at change over pulled her shirt up to cool down. Oh My GOD!!!! :love::love::love:
Although I still think CG is better, both in terms of tennis and hotness. Cuz… French Frenchy…

You should have followed United Cup...had some photos at the beach. She is shredded!
 
Why is Tennis Channel showing a Norrie match when we have a top ten player in Kasatkina playing a 2-time Wimbledon champ in Kvitova?

That feed isn’t working on TC+. That could be the issue. I’m watching Townsend crush vondrosova in dubs.
 
So many players simply lack court smarts. :(
Mladen, way inside the baseline, Volynets 8+ feet behind the baseline.
Mladen goes for a hard FH and hits it into net.
The drop shot was the obvious play. With lots of room for error.
 
^ Did you see the point at like 30-15 in the 4-5 game when she just let DasKa’s easy return bounce twice? Looked really weird.

From listening to the announcers, it sounded like DK must have framed it, and PK from the sound of that, thought it wasn’t getting back over the net. But yeah… she could have scampered to it.
 
Holy #$&*, just saw Monica in studio for the first time, she looks amazing. Always been a fan, but this is a whole new level.
 
Badosa, yet another player who doesn't use her head.
Maia's weakness is her BH. So where does Badosa hit most of the time?
You guessed it, her FH. :(
And since Badosa is a righty, the natural place for her to hit is Maia's BH!

Badosa almost let the 1st set slip away.
 
Wow, some choke from Collins. Blows 5 match points in the 2nd set and then a 4-1 lead in the 2nd set tiebreak and loses the third set 6-1.
 
Bencic hits the line on match point which leaves Garcia scrambling, Bencic wins the point and the match.

Belinda is into the Adelaide SF.
 
Curious everyone's thoughts on BHM and doping. I am surprised that commentators never mention her suspension a few years back. - maybe we are too far removed for it to be relevant anymore? I guess I have a hard time supporting players like this.

Old timer @UnderratedSlam had been critical of her and her infractions. There were a lot of push back on his position. He has been on since September tho. You’re the first one since who’s bring it up.
She did serve whatever the penalty was for this violation, did she not?

She's playing better without the "dope". Proving it's no advantage.

Yep, she did. I guess I am surprised I don't hear more about it since she's been on her come up. Maybe everyone has moved on, or it's NBD.
