It's the same old shit that she fucks up, all the time. And she has absolutely no instinct for big points any more. I don't agree. Her instinct returned as soon as her form did, she displayed it several time during her run in Dubai, and even in yesterday's match. She was down 2-4 in the 1st set, then won it, saved several break points in the 2nd with aces and even in the 3rd set was fighting of 0-40s. The heat affected her badly. Petra admitted it's both physical and mental problem for her (with asthma). She still lost in 3 sets and reached her best ever result in IW. I don't see whats the big deal is with that loss. The same applies to Miami. Now if she sucks during clay period, then it'll be obvious that her Doha/Dubai form was just a blip.

Azza is widely hated though, especially since pulling that against the Great USian Hope. It wasn't Sara, the incident was between Ma$ha and Ma¢ha, here last year: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_3yLZTCBaEAh, okay. Yes, I remember this incident. Also another thing about Azza that I should've realized when posting earlier, she doesn't really give a rat's ass about being liked and she didn't lose her first 3429245309 Slam finals.

Tapping the racquet on the ground? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST FUCKING DO, YOU LITTLE BITCH?!

I use asthma because it's given as an official reason, I don't know what's wrong with her, whether it's mental or physical. I know that when her physical condition is bad, her game goes to shit. I simply accept it. I remember Djokovic sucking majorly because of his physical condition, that he believed was asthma. Turned out it wasn't and he became an absolute beast. Maybe one day Petra will solve her problems as well (I'm not holding my breath), I just give her a benefit of the doubt that something could affect her physically. Plus I probably just don't care for IW/Miami combo, so it's no big deal (for me) that she lost.

Even Serena didn't rip up the Tour in the years immediately following her breakthrough Slam. I'm not saying Petra will become another Serena but I think we should hold the negativity a little bit. She's still performing ok and with her potential, she could have a breakthrough any time. No question she has the biggest shots save Bot and Serena.

Azza w/d, both women semis today were walkovers, wow.
Hopefully Kerber will make the final *sigh*

Man, it is horrible that after over a decade of dealing with Venus and Serena's endemic withdrawal problem now we are presented with another #1 who thinks nothing of walking out on tournaments whenever she breaks a nail.
Why are athletes so spoiled and entitled?

Why are athletes so spoiled and entitled? Well, technically Vika's not #1 anymore ;D Twitter has presented a stat that since becoming #1 Woz beat only 2 top 5 players, it is from 2010. It's astonishing that she's been #1 for so long. I just feel for the IW crowd, who were robbed of 2 singles matches today.

Vintage Wozniacki stuff there. She defends a seemingly impossible shot and her opponent that had been thrashing her freaks out and starts missing everything.

Indian Wells might push [pun intended] for a switch to men-only after this.

Sarita is the only player who can save us in the bottom half. Although if Ma$ha still bears a grudge from the "does she think she's playing hockey?" incident, that might be a well-deserved beatdown. Ma$ha-Caro final. Ma$ha wins this title w/o breaking much of a sweat.

Woz isn't in the final just yet. A 4-1 lead in the third has gotten back on serve. 5-4 Woz ...

It's not beyond the realm of possibility that Masha could lose to Woz. I think we're forgetting Woz owned that ass a couple of years ago.

What the fuck happened here www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEvq8ybeyzg#! The moment when Wozniacki drifts forward, hits a shitty volley and immediately moves backward to resume moonballing. The Kerber moonball that lands in the service box that Wozniacki responds to with a...moonball. My god.

Okay, that does it. Without waiting for the Ma$ha-crowning final, I'm going to join the Wms sisters and just pretend IW-SEWTA doesn't exist.
