I had a very tough opponent; I was actually surprised she wasn't seeded at the tournament.
Victoria Azarenka
Clay probably is not my favorite surface.
Caroline Wozniacki
I knew that I had more chances of losing than winning….
Aravane Rezai
Sometimes you have to risk more on the second serve, and sometimes you can just put the ball on the court.
Agnieszka Radwanska
So I found myself faced with a mirror in front of me; she plays pretty much like me….
Aravane Rezai
As the Frenchwoman tired, Kvitova took the match in hand and stumbled, rather than cruised home.
Andrew Lilley
Are you ready for the big returners?
Always.
Agnieszka Radwanska
Keep being you, Marion. Keep twitching. Keep competing. Keep hogging that stage. We’ll be watching.

ReplyDelete...if Kvitova heard Rezai say that, considering how Aravane's career has gone from good to mostly bad the last couple of seasons, I wonder if she'd shudder?
Or maybe it'd scare her straight?
It's a scary quotation, especially considering that both of them have illnesses not under very good control. I miss Rezai; she was kind of Marion Lite.
ReplyDeleteWith a bit of a hint of Dokic, I always thought, too.
ReplyDeleteWill somebody please pass this on to Kvitova? There's a big breakthrough in asthma treatment. A drug that knocks it down 87% of the time!

Interesting. Could take a long time to reach the market, though. In the meantimne, I think there are other measures she could take to ease the suffering.
ReplyDeleteShe was fighting the asthma today and made it through anyway.
