Yeah at first it was just an annoyance over her fanbase and the media giving her "It Girl" status when Halep is basically in her class and better. I want to be charitable and read all her "diva"-ish behavior as her being young and awkward but that handshake stuff was dumb

Kyrgios 3 double faults in one game hands the set to Raonic 7 to 5. Choke and a half.

Raonic seems to just be Kyrgios kryptonite. He can't handle the metronome serve and short rallies. He can't build into the match. Raonic just coldly takes his weapons away and let's Kyrgios beat himself.

He will. He is a fruitloop. He will never be a champ until he grows the gently caress up. His spaz attacks would just be lending Raonic confidence. He has no idea about the mental game at all. His answer to the Raonic problem is to put a headband on. Raonic meditating. Kyrgios be more like Milos.

3 aces in a row though. Then he does a jumping jack in the middle of a rally, which he loses.

Calling Bouchard the next Kournikova is a real disservice to Kournikova. Bouchard has a bad attitude towards other players. Anyway, Bouchard hasn't fallen from grace like people say, her slam record last year was the blip. Look at her results last year and her non slam results are as bad as they are overall now. It wasn't Kvitova smashing her in the final last year that killed her confidence either, I think it was probably Bouchard's last final that she lost which was also against Kvitova. e: Kyrgios bounced his racquet right into the crowd!

Whoa... that game to take the set. What a way to close it out. Unreturnable and three aces. Kyrgios well ahead on ace count vs the best server in the game...

I've always wondered how players pair up for doubles. I mean you have obvious long-running teams but then there are some pairs that seem totally random and out of nowhere

Watson/Williams match getting more interesting by the minute, so I'm really hoping we get a third set out of this, even if Serena wins in the end, as she very very probably will. Much closer than I expected, at least in this set.

So good. Let's go Heather! What was it Murray said about this match, something about being the most challenging so far? Hopefully no blowout in the third as usual when someone pushes Serena. Let's go!

It was great that Heather got that double break. It's expected her serve will be shaky from now on. Doing well so far. E: soo close to the hold. Keeping the DFs at a minimum, forcing Serena to make the plays. fancyclown fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Jul 3, 2015 |
