Most wonderful choke I've ever seen <3
The sad thing is with Venus you know Wozniak still has a chance, even after that absolutely disastrous attempt at serving it out.

This match is horrendous.

I missed the epic choke ;_;
Venus had better not fucking lose to Ivanovic now I AM REALLY SERIOUS HERE.
― lex pretend, Sunday, 25 March 2012 22:56 (twelve years ago) link
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

poor heather, improved on her 6-1, 6-0 loss to Vika at the AO by just one game.

I really need Li to make the final from the bottom half. Avenge Wimbledon vs. Lisicki first, then beat Ma$habot and Silliams like I know she can.
This plan is going to go badly wrong at some point :/
Dimitrov breakthrough at long last? First ever top 10 win over Berdprych, and as 4R opponents go you could do worse than Tipsy.
I didn't realise the Murray/Raonic match was happening until it, er, didn't. It would've been interesting. Raonic seems very injury-prone, doesn't he? I really hope he maxes out at the Isner/Karlovic level and never becomes a Slam threat, cannot deal with those freakish big servers in the top 10.
Nice to see Nishikori still around. Less nice to see Kirilenko still around. Cake needs to kill her next.

I'm kind of hoping Garbiñe Muguruza Blanco makes it to the semis
― THIS TRADE SERVES ZERO FOOTBALL PURPOSE (DJP), Monday, 26 March 2012 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
CAKE beat Kirilenko 1 and 2. Every Kirilenko match should go like that. I like to think Marion was as offended by Kirilenko's recent success as me.
Serving at *4-3 up over Serena, Stosur committed three DFs looooool

HAPPY DAYS
Thought we were in for a choke. 5-2 had 2 match points, then down 0-40 on her own serve but comes up with 2 aces and an amazing 2nd serve and more aces to save further break points. LIFE.
― nowadays suckers seem to be so fucking naïve (uberweiss), Monday, 26 March 2012 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
why is it that Stosur suddenly matches up so well against Serena
― THIS TRADE SERVES ZERO FOOTBALL PURPOSE (DJP), Monday, 26 March 2012 19:31 (twelve years ago) link
20 aces in a 7-5 6-3 win loooooooooool

Serena played really well in every department towards the end of the first set, I didn't watch after that.
Stosur's kick serve and huge topspin are most effective against shorter players - look at how she owns Bepa and Li - and Serena is short enough that if she's not on point, she can really struggle against Stosur. But ultimately, she has enough strength and willingness to take the ball early to deal with the topspin, and enough weapons of her own (like the serve) that even playing at an average level she should be able to smother Sam first (whereas Li, despite the power, only has an adequate serve).

ummmm cibulkova is beating azarenka 4-0? wtf? how?
I WANTED SERENA TO BE THE ONE TO END THE STREAK

I totally want Cibulkova to do it!

Dominika breaks to open the second set with two HUGE return winners!

Judging from the crowd reactions, you'd think this match was being played in Bratislava.

haven't watched azarenka since she fluked past clijsters in AO. still shit serve and completely weaponless against any aggressive opponent who's playing well i see.
― nowadays suckers seem to be so fucking naïve (uberweiss), Monday, 26 March 2012 22:14 (twelve years ago) link

I cannot remember arriving home and checking the Internet and seeing worse results. Cibulkova choking? Federer losing to Roddick? Enough, tennis.
― this pooper, give it to her in the christmas (edwardo), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 06:41 (twelve years ago) link
Like that other time Federer lost to Roddick, my reaction is: do you have no pride? No shame? Why are you sinking to such depths and humiliating yourself in public like this?

idk why people say Li is one-dimensional, she can hit such an incredible variety of errors

Li:
4 winners.41 unforced errors.

ummmmm wut? have I woken in an alternate universe? how embarrassing for Serena, almost as embarrassing as Fed's loss. How did this even happen? And after serving so well vs. Stosur!
5 and 0 over Roddick for The Principality is more than I could have dreamed of though. Thanks Juan! Ending the revival before it began.
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 06:37 (twelve years ago) link
When was the last time Serena had three consecutive losses in major events to opponents who should not have been threats to her? Wimbledon doesn't count because her comeback had just started, but then she played GOAT tennis throughout the USO series. Losing to Stosur, Makarova and Wozniacki in Slams/Miami is just bizarre.
