Mea ...Hmm, I must have misread the quote Savannah. Mea culpa?. I did watch the Li v. Clijsters match and I was so happy especially because of the commentary in the booth. When I hear Moraiu talking about Clijsters being mentally tough I have to shake my head and wonder if this is the same player that I have seen play for most of her career. <br /><br />I am very glad that Li has lived up to her potential and does not only bring it against the Williams Sisters. Serena has spoken very highly about Li's game and about how dangerous an opponent she is so I am not surprised that she is finally doing what we all knew she can do.Overhead Spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838462340734632101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-11985349483967200122011-01-14T21:03:19.754-05:002011-01-14T21:03:19.754-05:00The Li V Clijsters final was one of the ugliest ma...The Li V Clijsters final was one of the ugliest matches I have ever seen. Kim was only up in the first set because Li was playing worse than her and I don't think the level improved much in the second. I'm a massive fan of Kim but it's matches like this that have me really worried about her ever being a favourite for a grand slam. <br /><br />As for the Aussie Open, my early tip is Vera. Yes she lost 1st round in Sydney but I saw her practice session and she was striking the ball so well. Sveta, if she can her head in the game, is also a big chance to do some damage.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06626604611427504484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-22560923578725187262011-01-14T17:15:09.683-05:002011-01-14T17:15:09.683-05:00And TennisAce I thought that you of all people wou...And TennisAce I thought that you of all people would pick up on how I phrased the injury thing about Sharapova. I said that she "is said" to be coming back from injury along with Justine Henin. ;)<br /><br />If you get a chance watch the Li Na/Clijsters match from last night. Tennis Channel is replaying it.Savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15079111598976360942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-14928308846210870762011-01-14T16:56:30.400-05:002011-01-14T16:56:30.400-05:00Savannah, I would expect you of all people to stop...Savannah, I would expect you of all people to stop drinking the injury kool aid that the media is singing about Sharapova. She has been 'injured' since 2006 Miami. Yes, 2006. During that time she has won 2 majors. 2. It is said that she injured her shoulder playing Miami 2006. It was not properly diagnosed until her shellacking by Serena Williams at the AO in 2007. <br /><br />Without surgery she won the AO in 2008 and was supposed to dominate the Tour that year. That did not happen. <br /><br />It is now 2011. She has not made it past the first week of a major in over 2 years. It is not an injured shoulder that has kept her from doing that. It is the yips. Pure and simple. She has to get over that mental hurdle of her serving abandoning her at key moments. Until then ...Overhead Spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838462340734632101noreply@blogger.com
