Djokovic lost to Isner. Obv his results in earlier rounds weren't fantastic but...
I have decided I am tentatively pro-Isner. Large part of it is the would-smash factor :(

Why does John Isner exist >:(
― lex pretend, Sunday, 18 March 2012 09:16 (twelve years ago) link
Isner is weird to watch. I feel like his forehand is practically nonexistent (though that's obviously not true). I love his serves though

6-2 6-3 scoreline really really flatters Sharapova, that could easily have been like 1 and 0.
It's been ages since I last thought "how the hell is anyone going to beat her?" of a WTA player so kudos to Vika for this streak, no asterisks about it for me.
― lex pretend, Sunday, 18 March 2012 19:52 (twelve years ago) link
I am getting to the stage with Azarenka that, short of Conchita Martinez, I cannot think of an elite player I have ever hated more. There is now nobody I would not cheer on against her.
EVEN IVANOVIC.

Venus/Mrs. Krumm 1R, winner gets Kvitty :o and none of those matches will be televised

nnnngghhhh I know right.
Fernando Gonzalez retired then. I don't think I ever had any strong feelings about him but he was spectacular to watch when he was on.

also, is not Garbiñe Muguruza Blanco the most amazing name since the heyday of Anna Smashnova-Pistolesi?
and have we EVER seen a six-foot big-serving big-bashing female player from Spain before? really curious about her. kind of expect her to beat Bepa next.
― lex pretend, Thursday, 22 March 2012 08:37 (twelve years ago) link
I looked up Petra/Venus's H2H and had completely forgotten. Petra leads 1-0 - and that was just her second WTA win, in her third ever WTA main draw, which is remarkable. Memphis 2008. I remember thinking she was going to become a huge star after that win. And she did!
(We don't mention that she immediately followed it up with a 2R loss to Kudryavtseva)

I was just coming here to post those. Such a quintessential Sweta scoreline. As for Jankovic, just RETIRE already.
To add to the WTA comedy, I went to bed last night as Christina McFail was leading Petra Cetkovska 6-0 4-0. Woke up to find she'd lost 6-0 5-7 1-6.
― lex pretend, Friday, 23 March 2012 08:24 (twelve years ago) link
I still blame Sweta for Wozniacki btw, she created this monster. That wide open USO '09 top half, whoever won their 4R match was pretty much guaranteed a final place, and Sweta lost 6-2 6-7 6-7 despite controlling literally every point.
― lex pretend, Friday, 23 March 2012 08:25 (twelve years ago) link
smh WHEN will she stop sucking?
this is her level now! the serve is gone and she doesn't have enough in her repertoire to make up for it. never did.

Bepa, honey, nice of you to make room in the top 10 for Serena, but you probably didn't need to bother, she'd just have passed you anyway.

ughhhh I no longer care about Bepa losing to anyone but that is a terrible scoreline for Petra
― lex pretend, Saturday, 24 March 2012 11:41 (twelve years ago) link
I guess it's funny that when Venus was top 10 and Petra was out of the top 100, Petra won, and now that Petra is top 10 and Venus is out of the top 100, Venus wins.

The sad thing is with Venus you know Wozniak still has a chance, even after that absolutely disastrous attempt at serving it out.

It's sad that Venus physically can't be intense throughout a whole match. One awesome point and then the wind's knocked out of her for the next 3. :( Love her so much. KEEP FIGHTING :D
