Domi DID beat Ma$ha! Candy go home. Me so happy! Whole week to go, and no Ma$ha, no Serena. Heaven!

PS I did not watch a single point of this match, just followed the SB at the very end, wishing it would end faster.  What a fun AO suddenly! |

Oh, good. I might actually want to watch the final weekend now |

Ma$ha out certainly helps
Azza bullshitting her 3rd straight AO isn't optimal, but acceptable.

Yay. Thank you for a gloat thread, Janie.  Let's see if Alex's Batista-Aguta comment comes through as well (in response to my question)..looking good at a set a piece. We just need to get rid of Azza, Radwanska and Nole and all will be well with the AO. |

JJ went out 0-6 to Halep in the third.

JJ went out 0-6 to Halep in the third. Yes. WTF. Sloane was useless but at least she is gone. |

Get the fuck in! Abandoned Domi/Ma$ha after the first set because it wasn't even good tennis but I'm happy to wake up to this result.
Oh look, Halep's having a deeper Slam run than Stephens now she's got the benefit of a top 16 seed too.
I'd say Li has a shot at the title. She should have beaten Azza in last year's final were it not for concussing herself/stupid fireworks.

JWT keeps leaving vast swathes of the court unguarded for no reason.

Federer really came to play today. Jo...did not.

JWT waited to be 3-5, 5-7, 2-4, 0-40 down to start fighting.

That was a great performance from Fed notwithstanding JWT failing to really turn up. Murray wasn't exactly impressive earlier...

So all the men's top 8 seeds into the QF except Pony.
Hoping Stan can reprise his classic performance from last year that I sadly missed.

Nice stylistic contrast between A-Rad and the White Mug. Aga closes out an epic third game by serve-and-volleying but Muguruza's BH DTL has really impressed me.

The men's QF lineup is so great. Too bad I'll miss it all.
I didn't see one live point of this tournament yet and will be out for a lot of next weekend with guests.
Stupid, stupid timezones :-( :-(

Ladies. Lolz. Can someone nuke that top quarter.
It's Li's title to lose now. And she will. Please though, not to screacher but someone fun.
I don't know how ppl prefer Azza's grunt to The Sugar Pusher. Sure, Sugar's is bad but definitely more palatable to me.

WOW that Aga volley to close out another epic game

Too bad there's no coaching at the Slams. Mug's trainer should come on court and slap her.

Welp, taking 40 minutes to go down 1-3 seems to have killed the White Mug for now.

First four games of that set took 40 minutes, last three games took about 40 seconds.

Wow, I seem to have missed all signs of good/talented Big Mug. Just awful right now. Hope she can gear herself up for the next set the way Kerber did. Awww, JJ. Happy for Halep, though. I actually like Sloane, but losing in r4 puts her more where she belongs. In fact I'd be fine with her and Ma$ha losing in r4 for the rest of their days.  |

Muguruza's brain is broken and her spirit frazzled but Aga did that to her...she needed to just carry on doing what she did at the start but it's understandable that she feels like she can't.

Post by lexpretend on Jan 20, 2014 7:20:52 GMT -5
I mean, now the White Mug is either playing far too carefully or bashing wild errors and she has no idea where to find the happy medium.

First four games took 37 minutes. Next 12 games took 40 minutes. "A learning experience", etc.

What a fun AO suddenly!
