Azza has possibly not changed her clock yet.

Not anymore. Or at least not with the same player on the receiving end.

Boy, from 5-1 it has been a nightmare, hasn't it. Not that it's at all on TV until 12 minutes from now.

She did drop the second set to Azza at Wimbledon, though.
And Azza is not a BAD player. She's intolerable, yes, but an acceptable loss every now and again.

This stream is FUCKING annoying - it keeps breaking up. I don't understand how Azza is winning - this could be due to the useless stream which keeps breaking up and skipping points.

Kvit needs to practice hitting sitters.

Or even the allez c'mon. If you're going to cheer your opponent's errors, at least make a decent noise. Azza just saved MP by serve and volleying!  |

Player of the Year clearly now. I'm still not a HUGE fan, but I'm not annoyed or put off by the barking. I still prefer her to Wozniacki, Azarenka, etc.

Tremendous!
I haven't watched a WTA match since Venus vs Kimiko in Wimbledon. Have I missed much?

Re: , it happens once per point (maximum) and after the point is over. I don't care - but it's not comparable to the offenders. |

Very good win, very good tournament. Now she will probably get to #1 soon.
Despite what happens every time Kvitova wins something (she sucks for a while), I'm hopeful this will not occur this time. She has to get over it eventually, right?
Her year looks a lot like Sharapova's in 2004. If only she had done a little more at the USO, she'd be #1. Six titles, one of them Wimbledon. A better year than Wozniacki had, that's for sure.

Good ending for the year. As for Woz, she did have a good first half of the year but it was all downhill from RG onwards. Maybe she'll play better when her ranking drops and she has something to fight for rather than something to ineptly try to defend.  |

Excellent result Player of the Year, undisputedly. She has a Brisbane title, AO QF and Paris title to defend right off the bat next year. But I agree, she should definitely get #1 at some point in 2012. There's no reason she can't title at the AO, even. >>>>>>> COOOOOOOOME OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNN, as yelled by almost everyone else on tour. Someone posted on TF that Wozniacki's ranking isn't particularly down to a failure in the system, but because she's gaming the Roadmap: her three most inflated point hauls come from Charleston, Brussels and New Haven, probably the three "Premiers" that have been hardest hit by the Roadmap and none of which had Premier-like fields at all. She didn't beat a single player who finished the year in the top 10 at those tournaments. Anyway, take away those points and she's #4, which is exactly where she belongs. |

Woohoo. Regardless of who is player of the year, I'm pleased she got over the post-first-slam hangover relatively quickly.
