Robson wins. Didn't expect her to struggle so much.

Well done Laura! I really wish her all the best. I'd like her to turn into top player.

Finally does it. 11-9. Really impressive resilience from Laura.
Petra, just go away and reflect on your life and your choices.

Robson wins. Didn't expect her to struggle so much. Me neither. It would have been bad had she lost that, considering Petra's form coming in. Still, beating three Slam champs in the last two majors is impressive.

Finally does it. 11-9. Really impressive resilience from Laura. Yeah, her match mentality is extremely impressive for a kid. Well done to her, but would rather have seen her beat Sharapova or Serena.

I was updating after every Petra DF, eight pages is what happens in that scenario.

Same. Sticking with my pre-tournament pick Stephens though, even if she looked pretty bad against Mladenovic today.

Meanwhile I predicted this, and Robson to make the QF. Kinda thought she wouldn't need 11-9 in the third, so she is vulnerable.
Shitra stays #8, I wish she had fallen to #800 so she'd either change things or fuck off. Either is fine.

Is it too soon to be sick of Monfils again? No. I watched that entire 5th set. He's just... ugh. So much talent but he is a putz. Gael Force DF'd on FOUR CONSECUTIVE MATCH POINTS! And still won that game and the match. Sometimes, tennis isn't fair.

Wow. This is a lot of posts for one day. All due to Robbo/Shitra? If so, I will not read.

Some due to Gael Force as well. Most of them are documenting DFs. I swear one out of every four points I watched this morning, across all matches, was a DF.
I like that Shitra lost a heartbreaker. And she did really care about it, and she was devastated. Maybe THIS will be the kick up the arse she needs.
Robson lost to Stephens last week and looked pretty shoddy for most of today, I don't see any reason that would change. I don't think Stephens will be a Slam champ or anything but she improved a ton in the off season.
