Western & Southern Open - Cincinnati (Women)

Serena is just so tough. Her 11th win this year after dropping the first set.

And it's so great to have pavlik89 posting the videos again! Thanks!

Like so many of the men, some of the ladies just don't know how to finish! Anna had breaks and BP's all over the place and couldn't hold onto her lead! BTW, what happened to Bencic? Just noticed Safarova had a W/O after the 1st set! I didn't hear she was out of the ladies' draw! My guess is she's plum tuckered out after winning Toronto last week! uzzled :nono :angel: :dodgy:

Actually she says she is experiencing some wrist issues.

Thanks! I'm sure she wasn't accustomed to playing so many matches against so many top flight players so it's not surprising! That's one reason players like that usually can't finish, but she stayed in there long enough for Halep to say "uncle" in the 3rd set sat.! :clap :angel: :dodgy:

JJ takes the opener. Typical, she's fussing about something w/ the umpire in a language I cannot understand.

I don't know why, but she has always been a player that I can't take my eyes off of. Exotica.

I didn't realize how short she cut her hair until tonight.

Jankovic wins 4 and 2. She disappears for a while and then suddenly shows up in a major final or semi.

Halep was down a break but took the 1st set in a TB. Now coasting in the second. Looks like we'll have another Halep-Jankovic match!

I'll be happy when Simona puts Pavs out of her misery w/ all these errors and sloppy mechanics
