Her biggest issue as far as losing goes is: she has been a different player when holding break points this year. 0-15 against Maria in the third set in Melbourne. 0-8 in the first set against Angelique last week. That will not get it done. The mid set walkabouts are less important than her backing up a bit when holding break points. In Melbourne she mentioned that she was 'waiting, waiting to see what would happen' late in the match. Odd from a girl who was fierce last year when holding break points. That is the first order of rectification that she should tackle.Dean Daggettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-24433393509862741322012-08-20T10:32:54.937-05:002012-08-20T10:32:54.937-05:00Carlos could get used to this sort of thing... aga...Carlos could get used to this sort of thing... <i>again.</i> They DO say that timing is everything. ;)Todd.Spikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455101522360257651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-82583615699068656552012-08-19T18:37:26.441-05:002012-08-19T18:37:26.441-05:00If Kerber can add a bit more offense, she'll b...If Kerber can add a bit more offense, she'll be a real threat. She is sometimes compared with David Ferrer (one of my very favorite players, and a player Kerber admires); the comparison is a good one. And just look at what he has done!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-74964303198309175002012-08-19T18:14:01.138-05:002012-08-19T18:14:01.138-05:00Maybe I underestimate Kerber.

Kvitova was 0 for 8 in the first set yesterday against her.<br /><br />That is hellacious defense. Angelique is a pusher (and often a counterpuncher). She is solid all around, more tenacious and quicker than Wozniacki or Jankovic. That is a lot. A late bloomer, she's been on the tour for more than six years. Doug Messengernoreply@blogger.com
