MM, what happens to the #2 ranking if both Coco and Saba go out today (Coco already gone)?

I will have to check, after the match finishes

They are saying that Saba is 345 points behind Coco on the live rankings.

 

[kskate2]

Saba mad becuz Banshee is doing to her what she does to everybody else (whistling these returns past her) She acting like she owns the monopoly on blasting the ball

Can you remember how far Coco got in Madrid 2023?

 

[tossip]

These two flat bottom girls definitely didn't inspire the song Fat Bottom girls!

Lots of flatscreen tvs in Belarus.

 

[kskate2]

I'll find it

Can you remember how far Coco got in Madrid 2023?

I think it's the third round

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I think it's the third round

Okay
Coco is leading Saba by 345 points in live rankings, lets see after the match

 

[kskate2]

I think it's the third round

That's correct. I just looked at last years thread. She was the 5 seed and went out in the 3rd round.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco did better than 2023, went out in R16 in 2024, she wont drop points
She is leading Saba by 345 presently

Banshee is playing with such much confidence...it's been an amazing transformation... Hmmm where's Dr..Front @Front242

Can't see why she'd dope on her last year on tour. She was always a good player. Seems just oozing with confidence to me. She's scraped through a few tight matches so it's not like she's annihilating everyone she plays. Far from it.

Besides, she played college and had a pretty good record there. I don't see the need for her to dope either. Let's be honest, she's always had this confidence and belief in herself, it didn't always translate into wins on the court.

 

[kskate2]

this game has turned into a marathon

 

[kskate2]

finally, Saba holds. 4-4. How will Banshee respond after all those BPs went begging

Not good, Banshee is down love 30 on her serve

This is why Saba is hard to beat. If you don't take your opportunities against her, she's make you pay in the next game. Girlfriend has made a living off of capitalizing on folks mistakes

Yep, though lets face it Saba can make heaps of mistakes on her own

 

[kskate2]

Oh, she does. Besides Serena, I've never seen another player take advantage the way Saba does.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Banshee is going to kick her self for not taking those BPs
Saba serving for the 2nd set 5-4

 

[kskate2]

This is starting to look like their other matches. Dani has been in a position to win before, got tight and then caved in the decider. We'll have to see what Banshee has left in the tank for the decider. Does she really want to slug it out w/ Saba in a one set, winner takes all
