Thks Lebowski. I was on her not only because of observations from a practise session, but as I stated above due to the rain delays some qualie matches went late into the evening. Safarova was one of them--she played a marathon vs Obata just under 3 hrs last night, ending at aprox 10:00pm!! The Organizers were VERY UNFAIR to her in scheduling today. Of course they want that useless Canadian Pelletier in the evening session, BUT AT THE VERY LEAST, Lucie's match should have been the last of the morning session, not Bartoli's. Anabel wins 4-6,7-5,6-1. Lucie was spent in the third, won only 18 points and 5 df's
Anyway, got out of work late and missed the first few games of the evening session. From a betting standpoint evening sessions are useless--just 2 matches, both on the stadium court. ANyway Golovin vs Sprem;
Sprem will turn her year around--bank that. She is too good a player. I have NO IDEA what has happened to her , maybe someone from Crotia knows? personal problems? Anyway, she is a player to be careful betting agasint and with these inflated lines agasint her one may want to start taking chances betting with her. IMHO, VERY LITTLE separated these two players. The difference in this match was Sprem's lack of patience, a collection of unforced errors and not gettign her first serve in enough (not sure what her % was but it coudn't have been high). Sprem has equal power of Golovin from the baseline and IMHO a STRONGER first serve, the damn women has a bullet of a first serve, but cant get the damn thing in!! Sprem also has a very strong forehand, but goes for too many shots. Golovin? honestly for all the hype she gets, she is over-rated. -400, -500 lines no fvking way would i trust her with that shit. Golovin could also lose a few pounds IMHO............what's hilarious is all these crazy fans. I'm talking about the fans that build shrines to their favorite tennis player and seek 'autographs' (from WTA PLAYERS!!!!). So many people yelling 'Go Tati' No word of a lie, there was a GUY, must have been at least 16 or so sitting a few rows in front of me and after every Golovin game win all you would hear was 'yes Tati' 'Go Tati'-- does this guy have ANY IDEA how gay he sounds?? Anyway, I group all these folks together and call them, 'The Nutters'..........
Vento-Kabchi vs Pelletier---can you imagine CHARGING PEOPLE MONEY to watch these two play? I had way too long a day at work to sit through that nonsense, left when it was 4-0 for the S American. BOTH players STINK.
If anything worth reporting on Wed evening session I will post. |
