Justine Henin is my favourite player of all times, so naturally I LOATHED Clijsters during her her first career However, when she came back, my enormous disdain turned into slight annoyance and finally relative indifference, so I don't think I'll feel strongly about her this time around either. Still, I'll have to wait until I see her on court again before I can decide how I feel about her

It was the opposite for me, I couldn't stand Henin but when she was gone, I regretted it a lot. IMO WTA lacks rivalry like Henin vs Clijsters nowadays.

WAIT, WHAT?

I stopped following tennis mostly because of her retirement, i love her so much.. What she was capable of doing, especially in that last Australian Open against Li Na, wow, it was amazing.. I always loved to see Li Na too, so much fun, she just playing to have fun, enjoying herself.. Really, really cool..

You've made my day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAGpgHH1_As She said she wants to be both mom and player. I love Kim and she already had a great comeback in 2009 but 7 years out of the scene are a lot of time. That being said, I think that if Serena Williams can still play Grand Slam finals , there are some hopes

Does anyone follow tennis? I've just found out that Kim Clijsters announced her comeback in 2020 and I really didn't expect that

Who won the awards MVP, etc?

You can find the awards here

I've just read that Tai Aguero will play in A2 next season as outside hitter. Her team was promoted from B1 last season.

link "I could be the mom of my teammates" Tai

The Supercup game will be played on 16 November,Conegliano vs Novara.

There won't be a final 4 of Italian Cup, but a Final 8 (first 8 teams qualified after the first half)

I've read that Pankov is not the head coach of Russia anymore. Busato will take his place temporarily

I'm wondering if Pietrini will come back next season

IMO in order to get a good result we need Bosetti-Pietrini and Fahr-Danesi combo to work, I personally think it's the best we have at the moment. Also this European Championship shows that Malinov and Egonu need some real back up and not players that the coach brings for decoration.

Consuelo Mangifesta was SO angry on TV for this loss, I wish we had a passionate coach like her

do you know if Pomi signed her as MB or OPP??

Pomì's site says they sign her as OPP

Grajber's only chance to get a kill is to hit high and hope to find the fingers of the block like she did

I just started watching and Kakolewska was subbed. I wish Poland had better middles

Sylla is really bad, she can't score whatsoever.

She needs very quick and precise sets otherwise she struggles too much. She has a weird spiking approach for me

And now Mihajlovic, let's go Sarah!!

Fahr blocking Veljkovic, Sarah you should've played more but you have a great future

Sorokaite's serves gave the decisive break for Italy, how important is to put pressure to Serbian reception! I wish Malinov and Sylla had better serves, they literally give free balls at times

Malinov doesn't make life easy for her

This doesn't justify double touch for me. She did one against Russia too Now she had 2 kills

I said it many times before, I'll say it again.

Italy has an amazingly strong squad filled with talents and then you have Malinov as their setter. No team in volleyball will play like an oiled-machine without a great setter, it's the heart and soul of the team!

Please Malinov is a talented setter, but she feels too much the pressure in important games

What the hell is Folie doing on court? She's not attacking, blocking and now she makes a double touch

Egonu is the only good server we have

There are complaints in Italy about these travels. http://dal15al25.gazzetta.it/2…petto-da-parte-della-cev/

According to this, Italian Team had to go to Warsaw by bus ( about 1h and 30 min) ,they took the charter flight and arrived in Ankara at 2 AM.

The journalist wrote that Italian players deserve more respect from CEV
