But that thoughtless ball-bashing needs to be changed.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-82762058280610703412010-09-01T08:15:02.517-05:002010-09-01T08:15:02.517-05:00Poor Oudin, she should either hope she loses in th...Poor Oudin, she should either hope she loses in the next round or goes one better than she did last year. What a burden to carry for a nation?<br /><br />I am not very fond of people kind of dissing player's games because they have a good serve. They bemoan the state of women's tennis when the women double fault, yet when a woman uses her serve to her advantage they demean it by talking about "she won the match because of her serve". If that is your biggest weapon, why not use it. <br /><br />I guess the US commentators have to hype some American players because after Venus and Serena, they really do not have much to cheer about. I have to say that from what I have seen of Coco she has not really made much progress since I saw her 2 years ago. If anything she may have regressed. I remember her match against JJ at the USO and she played very well. Now she just hits hard, and when that does not work, she hits it even harder. That game went out with the dinosaurs.Overhead Spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838462340734632101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-9458707334996162942010-08-31T22:42:51.779-05:002010-08-31T22:42:51.779-05:00"Was there a watch for Coco?"
LOL. Afte..."Was there a watch for Coco?"<br /><br />LOL. After commentators and the like tossed Oudin to the curb, they started promoting Vandeweghe. So much for that.<br /><br />Lisicki does have a nice no-frills game. Her serve has been misinterpreted as huge and "booming." In reality, her serve is quite varied and tricky, and she has one of the best drop shots around. Of course, she hasn't been herself for a while, but let's hope she's on her way back now.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-48454246361486622522010-08-31T22:30:34.120-05:002010-08-31T22:30:34.120-05:00Was there a watch for Coco?

One of my favourite players to watch. <br /><br />Jamila Groth either needs to believe that she can win matches or she may as well pack her racquet bag and head home. I was very disappointed to see a professional player shake her head and say "I cannot win". Get off the court if you feel that way and tell everyone at Tennis Australia to stop investing in your future. She was an embarrassment out there today. Lose, but lose with dignity and go down fighting. <br /><br />Halep needs to work on her fitness. JJ won that match today simply because of her outstanding fitness and her ability to keep the ball in play one last time. Halep has game, no doubt about it. Saw her during the clay season and was very impressed. Maybe next time.Overhead Spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838462340734632101noreply@blogger.com
