Jane no, she can't Grin

JaneJeffer · 09/06/2021 11:51

Remember when Sascha could hear the commentary at the US Open about all his double faults Grin

I've just been reading about how Krejcikova was so stressed before the Sloane Stephens match she locked herself into the physio's room and had to be talked out by her psychologist!

Jane aww! Poor Barbora! That would be me. [grin

JaneJeffer · 09/06/2021 12:00

Well done New Barbora.

She's had a pretty good doubles career, has won RG and Wimbledon in that, I don't suppose she expected to do as well in singles.

I'm looking forward to the next match now.

JaneJeffer · 09/06/2021 12:10

Yes it should be a good one.

Leo is a very popular name with tennis players- Borg has one, Azarenka, Federe(has 2Grin), Ferrer- I'm sure there's someone else.

JaneJeffer · 09/06/2021 12:17

Federe(has 2)** GrinGrin

If this match can last a couple of hours, I should be ok, and not miss too much of Rafa.

I am not sure it will though.

JaneJeffer · 09/06/2021 12:30

I love Maria's glittery neck strap

Jane it's lovely her top, really different.
There's something about Sakkari that reminds me of Sabatini.

Raahh · 09/06/2021 13:14

ooh- first set Sakkari.

Maybe I should have put that bet on a double Greek winner this year. Grin.

JaneJeffer · 09/06/2021 13:25

I think she looks like Amelie Maurismo crossed with Martina Hingis which is hilariously ironic to me Grin

OP posts:
Raahh · 09/06/2021 13:27

oh dear, medical time out for Swiatek. She didn't look happy.

Raahh · 09/06/2021 13:28

Jane that is quite a combination Grin.

Raahh · 09/06/2021 13:29

Oh - I forgot she had been in the doubles as well.

Raahh · 09/06/2021 13:31

They are getting obsessed with Grease Grin

JaneJeffer · 09/06/2021 13:31

Hingis was very homophobic towards Mauresmo.

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 09/06/2021 13:32

I keep missing the Grease jokes.

OP posts:
Raahh · 09/06/2021 13:36

Hingis wasn't really as sweet and innocent as she appeared really, all things considered.

She also dated Gimelstob. Which shows a terrible lack of judgement.

Raahh · 09/06/2021 13:36

Jane you are not missing much.

JaneJeffer · 09/06/2021 13:38

She dodged a bullet there.

OP posts:
Raahh · 09/06/2021 13:39

I really wanted Iga to defend her title. it's a shame if she is injured.

If she loses, I will back Maria.

The women's game is really so wide open. It's never as easy as saying 'x is a definite contender'.
