2015 US Open QF: Simona Halep vs. Victoria Azarenka

rain is coming...

Doesn't seems fair to Simona :nono

I didn't say it was fair. I'm saying she's allowed to bring notes on court to read so no reason to take a bathroom break for that sole purpose. But it could be some kind of gamesmanship to throw Simona off. I'm not sure. Vika has said that she will do whatever it takes to win.

No no , I wasn't clear . The ten to 12 minutes restroom break

I got ya!

rain is coming...

before they finish the final set?

She doesn't need to go to the bathroom to read notes. She can do that right on court during the changeover. It is allowed to bring notes that you write to yourself that you can read to remind you to do certain things. She must be doing something else in the bathroom besides notes.

That much is obvious. Hard to see how anyone could possibly like her.

It is only suspicious if people from her box are missing.

Even if people from her box are missing, they can't get anywhere near her. You know a tournament official escorts the player back to the locker room or bathroom for the break and makes sure there's no contact w/ any outside party.

Azarenka is arguing wit umpire again...

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Vika has the break! Halep better buckle down and work!

 

[the AntiPusher]

Halep energy levels have dropped, she will need to pick it up a bit

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Come on Halep send Craparenka home!

 

[the AntiPusher]

Would you say, that outside of the Williams sisters, Vika may be the most athletic female player on tour these days . She definitely have the best combination/footwork, IMO

 

[kskate2]

back on serve 2-1

 

[Kirijax]

Halep breaks! Come on Simona. Hold serve here.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I don't know I would say Radwanska at her best has the best movement/footwork.

No. I wouldn't say that. I think a Kerber or Sloane would be better athletes than Victoria.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I can get behind those ladies K! I think while Vika is consistent I don't think she has a very fluid athleticism.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I will say one thing I am pleased with the fight Simona seems to finally be showing in matches.

 

[kskate2]

And now the rain comes when Simona has 2 GP's :nono

 

[golds girl]

I'm surprised the rain has stayed away for so long during this tourney...

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Well sucks for whoever wins because they have to come back and play tomorrow. They better hope the rain goes away quickly.
