My gut feeling is that her need for him is more psychological than tactical.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-33090464039680004252009-05-08T21:34:00.000-05:002009-05-08T21:34:00.000-05:00I don't believe Dinara was mentally tough.

Yes she won, but she still has too many people in her head, she had to call her coach EVERY set to help her get some of the voices out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-88085496036246773422009-05-08T20:16:00.000-05:002009-05-08T20:16:00.000-05:00I remember that call.

It's when you wonder about five or six of them that it's a big problem.<br /><br />Despite losing, Venus played some really great tennis.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-72987708743941279682009-05-08T20:07:00.000-05:002009-05-08T20:07:00.000-05:00hi diane...
what a match...both are fighting it o...hi diane...<br /><br />what a match...both are fighting it out to the last drop...<br /><br />dinara seems to be a true no.1 after the match, she held her head up high...i guess dinara wanted to win more the match rather than losing it, i think she needs to win this match to prove to doubters that she really is the world no.1...<br /><br />it's a sad loss for vee...but there are some points in the decider that could have overturned the match, there are two points of the match which could have been beneficial, at 3-3, vee serving and easy game to go at 4-3 could have been the course but an in-ball had been called out, and dina could have at least shown a pennetta like sport'woman'ship then vee could have won it...<br /><br />im really sad...Phaura Reinznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-31069786363983361802009-05-08T14:59:00.000-05:002009-05-08T14:59:00.000-05:00I'm with you, Mel, but organizers say it's too exp...I'm with you, Mel, but organizers say it's too expensive.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-43505892928977106872009-05-08T14:41:00.000-05:002009-05-08T14:41:00.000-05:00Everyone says that you don't need Hawkeye because ...Everyone says that you don't need Hawkeye because the ball leaves a mark, yadda, yadda but one must first to find the right ball mark before deciding if it's in or out.
