Yeah, agreed. She needs better tactical coaching.

when majority of injury breaks are timed perfectly to ruin the rythem for the other player, just shows that they should be banned. I also agree with you on toilet breaks, get rid of that shit too in best out of 3 set matches. 5 set matches its ok, if they are taken between sets. I also am a strong beliver of playing best out of 3 set in 1st week of grandslams and have second week with best out of 5 sets.
I know all that. I just thought Flipkens would put up some kind of fight.

They also need to ban ultra large racquet heads in that case. It's just getting ridiculous. Like the R&A in golf the ATP/WTA needs to step in and stop the technological advancements and make the sport purer.
Bartoli's road to the final:
Svitolina-McHale-Giorgi-Knapp-Stephens-Flipkens
Depressing, hopefully she won't win the final, she doesn't deserve it with such a cakewalk draw

I understand your objections, still better that than some players trying to force playing with genuine injury without medical attention. Players also need to be taught how to maintain focus when the opponent takes a tactical time-out, that's all.

Well that was a disappointing semi.
She can only beat what's in front of her. If she is the last one standing, then she deserves it.

Yup. I'm hoping for Lisicki personally. I think Radwanska would find it tough.
Yes. Still the semifinalists in the top half have had much tougher draw and are playing on higher level, I'm hoping either one is going to take it.
Radwanska is 7-0 vs Bartoli. I doubt she'd let her win in a slam final.
3 of these are up and coming players which many believe have a great career in front of them. And Stephens was in the SF of the AO.
In the long run, no one remembers or cares which players you beat to take a grand slam. Anyone remembers Sharapova's when she won the FO last year?

Watching the Kyle Edmund match.
Why is he still in the juniors again? Looks way too good.

Zakopalova, Kanepi, Kvitova and Errani. I don't remember earlier rounds.
He played in the seniors' main draw (wild card), lost 1st round to Janowicz.

Yeah I know, but his presence in the juniors is a joke, he's way too developed and powerful for these junior players.
Unless Sabine has a terrible serving day, that's not happening.
This is the last year he's eligible, right? The juniors is up to 18.

Ah, you have to feel for Radwanska there. That was such a bullshit break.

Let me get this straight, according to Chris Evert, Radwanska's strengths are:
- Return of return of service
- Lob
- "absorbing power"
- placement of her 90 mph first serve
How is she top 4?!?! Do 5-300 really suck that much in the WTA?
edit: My bad, she did also mention Radwanska's ability to run for any ball

Evert missed Radwanska's ridiculous movement, fetching, and shot selection.
She's never won a slam for a reason, Azarenka is world #2 and has never won a slam either. Kinda bad I guess.
Azarenka has 2 slams..
Oh yeah, she has two Aus. I always forget that somehow..

Radwanska plays smart tennis, which is enough to get you pretty far when large sections of the WTA are just erratic ballbashers.
It's not a slam if it's not US Open amirite?
I much prefer her over the two screamers and Serena that's for sure.

lol it's getting annoying how Evert insists on saying "radwanska" instead of "radvanska" especially when Fowler keeps saying the correct pronunciation
Good match so far, looks like Lisicki is opening it up though.

Man, the netcord is deciding the vast majority of this match. I swear it's decided like half of all the important points so far.

Hopefully this match goes to 3. Don't mind who wins as long as they fight for it.
