Okay a tennis journalist friend of mine who is at Wimbledon said that wasnt surprised that Elena lost, she was in tears coming out of the rest room before her 1st round match against Boisson? just texted me? so there could be trouble with her and her BF/Coach in Vukov

AP

I have just seen graphic photos of Serena getting fluid drained out of knee and has tape now down all over her knee down nearly to her right ankle EEK

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Noskova (9) wins the 2nd set against Cirstea (17) 63
Going 3

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I feel both Amanda and Madison are nervous, either player not settled into this match
3 games all 1st set
Both playing 1st strike tennis as I thought they would
Madison has to target the Fh of Amanda, as Amanda's bhand is world class

Hopefully its not too bad.. I hope Serena recovers quickly

So do I AP, though when your older it does take more time to recover

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Amanda breaks Keys and will try to serve out the 1st set 5-3
Amanda nervy to start the match, had a good return game to break Madison
Amanda wins the 1st set 63 and hitting her spots well

Exactly.. its not a good indicator of a light at the end of the horizon if the first match the knee swells with fluid.. A player can't train or trust themselves on the court..It really destroys a players confidence which is vital for this game because as Sampras said " You CANT pass the Ball"

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Amanda DFs and hands the match to Madison early in 2nd set
Madison stop going to Amanda's bhand down love 30
Yay Madison puts on her Thinking Cap and serves to Amanda;'s fhand
Madison leads 3-0
Amanda on the board
Madison leads 4-1 2nd set, she has been now targeting Amands's fhand with good results
A good love service game from Amanda, you dont have to serve hard and fast, just make sure you hit your spots Amanda?
Madison leads 4-2
Super serving from Madison 5-2 2nd set
Madison with SP
Amanda found her 1st serve when needed
Well done Madison winning the 2nd set 62

BTW

Iga will drop out of the Top 5 with her loss to Eala today
Eala is now presently No 28 with her win over Iga today

Keli,, will the producers at ESPN say something to Wozy who is very obviously Anisimova is her favorite player.. Good Lawd.. She talks like she is the all time greatest player Ever.. Every point or Ufes she talks like its the end of the world

I have never heard Wozy as a commentator you can have Laura Robson MEH!
AP I just mute commentator's like that, you should not be soo one sided have to remain neutral BTW

 

[Hoergren]

Highlights from Alexandra Eala and Iga Sviatek

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay going 3 sets now
Madison turn the match around and won the 2nd set 62
Okay ladies I will hopefully be able to watch the end of this match it is 2.30am and I need a Nonna Nap

its is way too bias.. I know Wozy is Canadian but she acts like Amanda is the only one from America... I dont like former players who have their personal bias.. Taylor is much better than Caroline as an analyst

That's why I asked Keli because I thought you may be getting a different feed down there.

Thank God I have, still Laura Robson is just Meh

 

[the AntiPusher]

Thank God I have, still Laura Robson is just Meh

Dont get me wrong i think she is a good analyst but she is way too bias.. Have you heard Taylor.. she is a natural.. just like Chris Eubanks..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Amanda's fhand is just poor, also she cant handle the pace when it is directed to her fhand, just pushes it back MEH!
Madison just has to keep her good 1st serve up and keep targeting the Amanda's bhand
This is a very important game for Amanda, she has to battle those nerves, her coach told her there is nothing wrong with your fhand?
Big hold for Amanda and Madison missed her chance to break

Dont get me wrong i think she is a good analyst but she is way too bias.. Have you heard Taylor.. she is a natural.. just like Chris Eubanks..

I like Taylor as a commentator and also Eubanks, have listened to both of them
