I ... don't want Azza to get away with this garbage tennis anymore. Come on, Flav! She's played some darned good tennis at times, too. But yeah, I want her to win only by having to play great.

Vika is also earth-shatteringly loud in this match.

The sense I have is that Vika is vulnerable ... but if she wins this set, she'll probably settle down.

Vika is also earth-shatteringly loud in this match. Is she? On my tv she sounds normal. Maybe I've finally got used to this awful whooping.

This match started out pretty good, but it's been all downhill since then.

This match started out pretty good, but it's been all downhill since then. Really? This game is fantastic! The way flavia saved those set points!

For me it often depends on the level of the match. if players are playing great intense match, i don't hear it. If it's boring error-fest, then the screaming is awful.

Yeah, that was such a fun final game! So glad to see Azza forced to play her best. Flavia had great moments, too; just fabulous.

But maybe that's because I avoided watching Masha.corp and Azza matches for a long time.

It's funny that this is the 3rd match in a row where Azza has faced that same red dress. She must be feeling pretty confident against that dress now, after 2 wins.

Wow, that point. Ended on Vika's error but she was forced to go for too much by Flavia's defense. And Flavia breaks back.

Finally solid tennis from Azza, a rare easy hold. Flavia getting more frustrated ...

At least Flavia made Azza play good tennis. She hasn't choked, but she's just not good enough to win this. BSems to be all over now.

Haha, spoke too soon. Just when you think Azza has seized the match -- another break.

Vika wins. It was a rather enjoyable match.

I watched the last two games. For some reason I thought it was happening early and that I'd missed it.

If you saw just the last 2 games you might think this was an easy win for Veeka, but it sure wasn't. Why can't the girl hold serve? Anyway I agree with lady, it was enjoyable to watch despite the constant breaks of serve; there was actually variety, a few times even both players at the net at once.

Not sure I can watch another one, getting a bit tennised out at just the wrong time. Maybe tune in later.

3-0? Glad I'm not watching.

Chanda Rubin keeps saying that LeeNa needs to serve and volley more... really?

Post by R. Black on Sept 6, 2013 16:16:35 GMT -5
At the beginning I felt she wasn't that bad, but now LeeNa is playing at I-lost-4-and-2-to-Pelletier level.

I'm impressed you lasted that long! I just came back to look at the SB and pathetically, I'm relieved Leena's not getting double-bagelled. It wasn't supposed to be this way.

Jesus. What an idiot Li Na is. That match was painful.
Serena played like shite pretty much throughout. Whenever Na strung together a few shots that weren't a) dumped into the net or b) home runs, Serena's histrionics came out in full force.
Christine rarely, if ever, hit herself out of matches; however does Carlos cope watching this kind of brainfarting week in, week out? Guy has developed a lot of patience it seems.
The top tier of the stadium half empty. SEWTA really is dying. An embarrassment.
The final is also going to suck. Obviously, I will not be rooting for Serena but damn, that shriek, those screams, make is reeeeeeally difficult for me to cheer for Azza.

Put the tv on mute and root for Azza!
Very disappointed to read that Serena played poorly. Poor Li. Who'd have thought that Pennetta would prove to be the 3rd best of the SF'ists today.

I will root for Azza without any reservation. Her sneeze-grunt doesn't bother me all that much. I think that I can handle it because it's consistent, and not as pitchy as Sharapova.
