  • in 2010 when Schiavone won RG I thought it cant be worse, but it can.... :wacko:

    I think Bartoli's Grand Slam title will be an inspiration to many people. Especially to top WTA players, who will work extra hard to make sure this never happens again.

  • Referees - Djokovic 6-4 7-5 6-4 :whistle:

    C'mon, not only referees. Andy fully deserved it. He surprised me a lot during last two of his matches in Wimbledon. This is unbelievable how many times he sends the ball and it looks it's gonna land out but I has this funny feeling it's gonna be in and it's so damn IN! Can't really expain it. Andy, congrats :obey: It's an honour to know now that JJ lost to champion. Pleasure to watch him. Everything about him, technique, breathtaking run for every ball, returns, intelligence and what's more - patience. Just great. Britain finally has his champion :win:


    I expected more from Nole. Still can't believe how he lost the second set having this advantage. 4:1. Well, I'm still learning how unpredictable tennis is. But this last gem when Andy has 3 championship points Nole showed a class again :obey: Never give up, that's what I like. Just wasn't his day. And tournament.

  • Seriously, I can't stop crying ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( :( :( :( :( :(

    Don't cry, Aga ;) I cheered for Nole too. I even believed in him arising and winning when he defended these 3 championship points, I really freakin' believed. Not the end of the world, not last tournament. We all know it and Nole knows it too. I feel like he's such a player simply not to break.
    And just look: Rolland Garros - he was defeated in SF, Wimbledon - in final. So, going forward, US Open - championship, Nole, championship :whistle: Well, if JJ won't be in the final, ofc :gone: But I won't be such a fairy, I'll stay for now with dreams only :D And hopes.
    Nole is still my master though.

  • :lol: so there, she was drunk !! :drink: :drink:

  • Serena Williams will take part in Swedish Open in Bastad since today.

    She has Grand Slam titles, Premier titles but She never won International title.
    She tried 5 times in the past and lost every, the highest She was in SF.

  • Serena Williams is 2nd in All-Time Record Ranking with 34 win matches in a row but now is new counting- today She won 25th match in a row on clay. Last time She lost on clay last year in Roland Garros.


    • Serena won 53rd WTA Title vs Larsson 6-4 6-1
    • Today was Her 69th Final in Single
    • She won 28th match in a row on clay
    • Today was Her 50th win during the season


  • Serena Williams competed in an International-level event for just the sixth time in her career last week in Bastad and did not drop a set en route to her first title at that level. In the process, she added to her clay court résumé.


    - Williams is now tied for the most WTA clay court titles among active players:


    1t. Anabel Medina Garrigues: 10
    1t. Serena Williams: 10
    3. Venus Williams: 9

    2t. 2012: 7
    2t. 2013: 7

  • Not the best match yesterday but it's good to see JJ after long break :roll: Benneteau is so tiring opponent... I hope today will be easier.
    And Grigor, what have you done :aww: I was hoping to see him facing Andy... Well, deal with it, move on. Still a tournament to watch.
