Sharapova already up 2 breaks on venus

 

[modulaire]

27 games in a row for Maria in this tournament.

 

[rangersfan414]

Querrey just blew a huge opportunity :/

 

[Kitschkraft]

That was a helluva streak by Sharapova. Might still get a breadstick, which would be almost as amazing.

 

[rangersfan414]

Fuck, Querrey in a hole now.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Fuck, Querrey in a hole now.

Yep, he's down 2 sets now.

I hope Venus makes the 2nd set more competitive, but Sharapova is in the zone. If Venus wants to have any chance, she'll need to be more aggressive on her second serves because Maria is hitting winners off them left and right

 

[Fix The Scientist]

When will sharapova play serena? semis?

 

[Peru]

Final.

I fear for that day, if it comes, because Serena will take revenge on behalf of her sister and come down like a ton of bricks on M$.

Maria would be wise to hand over a few sympathy games in this 2nd set to ease the rage of Serena

 

[rangersfan414]

I hope Wawrinka takes down the Nole!

 

[AndresON777]

Shazza beating up on Serena is great for my girl Vika!

-edit: it's Venus lol

 

[perfectchaos007]

If Venus breaks here, it could get interesting. If Masha holds, she wins the match, lol.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Go Screamapova!!!


I hate the Williams sisters

 

[LuuKyK]

Wow, Maria destroyed her. Ive never seen her play this solid lately. She is playing GOAT. She defended like Kerber there, amazing.

 

[rangersfan414]

Down with Ferrer!

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Down with Ferrer!

Down with you!

 

[qindarka]

I hope Wawrinka takes down the Nole!

Not happening.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Not happening.

You're right. Only in a perfect world.

 

[qindarka]

You're right. Only in a perfect world.

I really don't see how Nole can fall before the final. Only Federer or Murray can stop him here and even then, they would be the underdogs.

On a sidenote, today was my first time watching live tennis. Caught the Ivanovic-Jankovic and verdasco-Anderson matches at the Hisense.

 

[Tonche]

Del Po also playing well enough to seriously test Djoko

 

[Peru]

lol radionova sisters going off on twitter about masha, tag team style

You never know, you never know.......

Anyways, these recent expositions on sport frauds like Manti Teo, Lance Armstrong, and (well not recent but still) Tiger Woods make me hope that none of the tennis superstars are involved with shady stuffs like that. Damn I don't know if my heart can take it if Federer does the kinds of stuff those guys did.

Sadly, there is a very realistic chance that top tennis players are also doping, same with most other top athletes really. Also testing for doping in tennis is very lax, apparently.

 

[Peru]

Djoker said today he thinks tennis is relatively clean but still noted that he'd been tested _less_ lately than two years ago. Wtf?

I think cortisone is actually legal in tennis though isn't it? I remember Agassi having to shoot up before every match during his last year on tour.

 

[Good Job Bob]

lol radionova sisters going off on twitter about masha, tag team style

They seem pretty salty, should be fun if one of them ever faces her in the future lol.

Anyways pretty much more or less what I expected from the match. Venus today sadly can't keep up with the top players.

Final.

I actually think Flipkens might have a shot in the final.

didn't Rafa use cortisone injection in his knees or something?

 

[Globox_82]

Top Half Men's 4R: Djokovic-Wawrinka, Anderson-Berdych, Ferrer-Nishikori, Almagro-Tipsarevic

great matches.

 

[lucius]

Federer said the same thing, that he is being tested less now than years ago in an interview back in November and thinks Tennis should test more.

 

[qindarka]

Top Half Men's 4R: Djokovic-Wawrinka, Anderson-Berdych, Ferrer-Nishikori, Almagro-Tipsarevic

great matches.

Rooting for Wawrinka, Anderson, Nishikori and Tipsarevic to win. The opposite is far more likely, though.

 

[Globox_82]

I think they should test better, not more. They rarely do blood tests from what I understand.

 

[Saty]

I expect Radwanska-Ivanovic to be a night match so i can't finally watch Aga's match live.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Damn Maria hit the hell outta that ball and yell lol

 

[perfectchaos007]

Azarenka was up 2 breaks, lost them, now back on serve in the 1st set.

 

[Timbuktu]

So many dfs watching the women's game the last couple of days.

 

[Niraj]

Speaking of double faults...

 

[LuuKyK]

Hampton is useless. -_- I mean worked really hard to come back and then give that last game away. Really?

 

[perfectchaos007]

MaSha had that disease for almost a year, but now double faulting isn't really a problem for her. It really shouldn't be for anyone over 6 feet.

 

[Akito]

lol what's going on, Azarenka getting broken 4 times in a row

 

[perfectchaos007]

lol what's going on, Azarenka getting broken 4 times in a row

I'm starting to believe there's no such thing as "breaking serve" in the WTA

 

[zero_suit]

lol what's going on, Azarenka getting broken 4 times in a row

She still can't serve apparently.

I'm starting to believe there's no such thing as "breaking serve" in the WTA

Unless it's Serena...

 

[NZer]

I'm starting to believe there's no such thing as "breaking serve" in the WTA

Lots of WTA players seem to hold their break and occasionally break for a hold.

 

[LuuKyK]

Watch Hampton choke the set now...

 

[Timbuktu]

What a drop shot.

This might be it for Hampton though.

Edit: yes! hope her back holds

 

[perfectchaos007]

Damn, to a third set we go

 

[LuuKyK]

Way to prove me wrong Hampton...

 

[Akito]

Great effort

 

[perfectchaos007]

Hampton is looking clunky out there now. I doubt she has enough to beat the #1 player when clearly injured, but she's going to delay the inevitable as long as possible.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Thought azarenka would take this easily and I come back to a 3rd set, :O
