Saba needs more patience, she has to use slice etc to disrupt Amanda's pace, at the moment she is over hitting, which wont get her anywhere

I told you Amanda was my dark horse in this tournament she is the best grass court player left and I am soo happy for her coming back from all the sadness in her life, death of her father, battling mental issues
Oh and by the way Phil I dont have to use a crystal ball

I knew Amanda could be a contender if she put it all together. That she made the final of Wimbledon isn't really surprising to me at all. But you could tell Saba wasn't going to do it watching her matches.

By the way, can you stop with the crystal ball thing? That is really annoying now. If you don't want me acting like a jerk towards you, then cut it out with the crystal ball crap. To be honest, I don't have a problem with anyone else on here except for you.

Well that makes 2 of us cause I dont have a problem except with you also and your high and mighty condescending attitude about other players okay
I am not the first poster to use the crystal ball against you, I believe Keli did the other day, So Keep In Your Lane!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW,
Amazing 4th different American in 4th consecutive final, has to be a 1st time ever that 3 from the same country could win 3rd consecutive slam, Amanda has a chance to do that if she wins the final

Okay, let's cut this crap out. We can disagree on things, but let's keep it civil. If you have nothing nice to say, keep it to yourself. Either cut the crystal ball bullcrap out, or I'm really going to go low and start calling you things you won't like.

Keli might have said it, but doesn't keep repeating it like you do. You might not notice it, but you do act like a jerk to most everyone. There have been other users that have commented on it in the past. (I could pull up receipts if I wanted to, but I really don't want to escalate this. If you want me to start treating you with respect, then just cut the crystal ball bullcrap out.)

Iga won the toss and will serve first

Respect goes both ways and I dont start calling me names okay I will not tolerate it full stop, no I dont act a jerk to most everyone.

Iga to serve in the womens 2nd SF

 

[PhiEaglesfan712]

At one point in the early 2000s, American players won 11 slams straight (including all in 2001 and 2002)

2000 Wimbledon - Venus
2000 US Open - Venus
2001 Australian Open - Capriati
2001 French Open - Capriati
2001 Wimbledon - Venus
2001 US Open - Venus
2002 Australian - Capriati
2002 French Open - Serena
2002 Wimbledon - Serena
2002 US Open - Serena
2003 Australian - Serena

Respect goes both ways and I dont start calling me names okay I will not tolerate it full stop, no I dont act a jerk to most everyone.

I can agree with this. How about we bury this hatchet and start with a clean slate? Let's just discuss tennis and respect each other's opinions. We don't have to agree on anything, or even be friends.

This truly "$ucks!" Bencic plays out of her mind to upset Mirra yesterday & couldn't look worse going out in weak fashion to Iga! That's 1 benefit I guess! Looking for Swiatek to finally get over the hump at Wimble.! She deserves it; really representing the women well the last several yrs.!

 

[PhiEaglesfan712]

Swiatek with a comprehensive beatdown of Bencic 6-2, 6-0. This may have played a role in the loss:

I will have the poll up at the top of the hour (2 pm ET).

That's a really poor showing by Belinda. Her toe was bothering her yesterday. If you know you can't post (especially w/ the SF the next day) let your opponent go through while you get the necessary treatment.

I thought I was the only one who thought like this! I was so ticked off by Roger back in 2014 in the YEC SF! He killed himself to beat his pigeon Stan Wawrinka, down at least 1 or 2 MP's, came all the way back, then WD out of the final against Djokovic! That was obscene & a real a-#ole move IMO! Mirka was being a "jerk-off" too talking out of turn to Stan during the match!
