China Open Beijing 2014

[Si Si Simona]

Pavly retires and Lin Zhu ranked 168 is in R2

Coco plays a lot like Dinara Sanova...that lumbering gait and the hit harder hardest mentality..

 

[Si Si Simona]

Aga looks uninterested and lost many matches lately.
Maybe something outside tennis bothers her.

 

[tossip]

no plan b for Sanova..

Maybe something outside tennis bothers her.

Aga seems to be in a slump since Montreal...like exhausted.

 

[tossip]

Coco Mama June Vanderweghe is being schooled by Aga...

 

[Si Si Simona]

Have you seen the Dias unique serve? very interesting motion. :s She raises the arm that holds the ball without stretching her body at all. She brings the ball to the racket without moving. Only her arm moves.

 

[Si Si Simona]

The best fun match will be of course between petko and the slicer.
The weirdest match will be between the quiet like a mouse Kaia Kanepi against guess who
Poor Kaia will just want to run away from it all into some quiet place.

Simona plays two new players in R1 and R2 and thats the last thing that she needs at present.
She probably prefers playing a top ten that she knows, than playing these two in her current unstable state
Thank god Singapore is played in round robin system or her nerves wouldnt hold it.

It must be really nice to have a good friend on tour. I imagine it gets lonely, even with the teams they travel with.

Where is Venus??

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Pavly retires and Lin Zhu ranked 168 is in R2

This happened on the heels of her X coach winning a doubles championship in China!

There goes the year for Pavly, lost to a Wild Card, all done.
May be stay in China and try a couple of smaller events as tune-up for next year?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kiu

I heard the reason for Pavly retirement in her match,she was feeling dizzy?

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Yes, that was the reason for her retirement, dizziness.

Where is Venus??

Questions like this are hard to answer, it's just too general of a question.
Venus is in China, as to her exact whereabouts, hard to tell!

She is suppose to play the second match Sunday on center court.
That's about 9-10 hours from now.

Venus is in Beijing ,she came with Serena on that train....

 

[Si Si Simona]

Mugu played like top 5 v Simo, today she plays like top 500. Makarova is a sitting duck and Mugu hits all the balls out of the court uzzled
ugly match decided by how mentally tough mugu can be or not.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Makarova doesnt give any pace on the ball same as Aga plays, and Mugu looks hopeless without using her opponent's pace.
