Now she alternates between a few great shots (great hands that would do this even from a hospital bed) and sheer lethargy and bad body language. <br />Does she even WANT to play tennis professionally?Dougy Messengernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-17697226951705855352012-10-04T01:20:52.980-05:002012-10-04T01:20:52.980-05:00Does NOT do the three....

She stands flat-footed, only occasionally doing her usual routine. Something is up in her life. Her demeanor is not as pro active either. In Tokyo, she got down on herself in an uncharacteristic way. It smacked of defeatism.<br /><br />She needs a new coach and a new trainer. Maybe a new boyfriend too.jim Lumpkinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-85992048174619145992012-10-03T23:59:13.655-05:002012-10-03T23:59:13.655-05:00That's true.

She certainly seems to be taking it all in stride--maybe better than her fans are :)<br /><br />I enjoy all the top players. Kvitova just seems to have that something special, though--she just has to get it under control.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-2854961373739511632012-10-03T22:08:28.498-05:002012-10-03T22:08:28.498-05:00In defense of Petra, I'd like to mention that ...In defense of Petra, I'd like to mention that after Serena won her first slam in 1999 she didn't win her second until the 2002 French Open. I think the spotlight adjustment takes time.<br /><br />Plus Petra had a fairly good summer hardcourt season; especially compared to last year. I don't sense a substantial crash and burn like *sigh* Ivanovic after her maiden slam win. We'll see.

Yep, she has the finest set of strokes in the history of the game, but being unfit, physically, mentally or both does not augur well for her legacy.<br />To doubters, I suggest that you watch her 2011 performances on YouTube. Nobody has such an all-court game. Her volleys in Paris, Brisbane, Linz and istanbul, and her 222 clean (240 overall) winners at Wimbledon were unprecedented. C'mon Petra, wake up! Her lack of fitness is evident in her footwork and the laziness of hitting many forehands open-stanced, when a year ago she hit closed and off the front foot, through the ball, whenever she had time. Oh Petra. Oh Petra. Oh Petra. <br />You are exasperating. I hope that you do not end up going the way of the greatest male ball striker, Henri Leconte, who rarely came to really play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-66921361281005098542012-10-03T08:52:09.897-05:002012-10-03T08:52:09.897-05:00I did hear there was a virus, and those stomach bu...I did hear there was a virus, and those stomach bugs are popping up more and more often at big tournaments. I would rather see her give a walkover, under her particular circumstances.<br /><br />It does seem to be one thing after another, though. With Kvitova.

Supposedly, Kvitova got off the court quickly and went straight to bed after losing due to stomach ailment.Sunny ninenoreply@blogger.com
