Go Faulk Yourself Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Unbelievable. Del Potro out in the 2nd round to Bautista Agut in 5 sets. If Milos wants to make it past the 4th round, this is his big chance to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteeun Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Just saw the highlights of Milos second round match. That court looks small from that angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 At least Genie won while the Canucks were getting shut out. Rather handily, too. Only world #125 Casey Dellacqua stands between her and a quarterfinal date with (in all likelihood) Serena Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only world #125 Casey Dellacqua stands between her and a quarterfinal date with (in all likelihood) Serena Williams. I actually opted to watch Genie instead of the Canucks. At least with tennis you're guaranteed winning a few points. I can't watch shutout hockey for very long. Dellacqua is enjoying some success. It'll be a good match but I hope Genie pulls through. The more she plays against Serena, the better she'll get at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely sure about these things. I think matches against great players are only meaningful if the underdog puts up a fight. I mean, if Serena bagels or breadsticks someone in 45 minutes, can the loser gain anything from that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what they take away from it. If I remember correctly though, Genie actually took the first set against Serena in their last meeting Is anyone watching Raonic vs Dimitrov right now? Raonic should not be #11. If his serve is returned, he's a machine of errors. No way his game is top 20 material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Ugh. Milos loses to an opponent ranked lower than him. So many unforced errors. He hit the net more times than a hockey player Real shame too. Bautista Agut has taken out Delpo and Paire in that section of the draw. This was Milos's chance to make the QF's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 He was leading 4-2 in the tiebreak too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way his game is top 20 material I see him ranking anywhere from 10-20, but yeah I doubt he'll ever break the top 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Ugh. Milos loses to an opponent ranked lower than him. So many unforced errors. He hit the net more times than a hockey player Real shame too. Bautista Agut has taken out Delpo and Paire in that section of the draw. This was Milos's chance to make the QF's Dimitrov's #22 seed doesn't match the performance he put on today. 49 winners and only 13 unforced errors. Even you would have to admit that's tough to beat. Milos wasn't good enough but Dimitrov played a hell of a match and deserves some credit. Made some ridiculous shots, especially with Raonic at the net.

Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 His mental game sucks. Bad decision-making and the inability to close out games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks3322 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 wow Bouchard has so much potential just watched her match she seems to have it all but wow Raonic really needs to work on his return game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Faulk Yourself Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Raonic really only has the serve. Everything else with him is meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Whoa. Serena out. That quarter just opened up quite a bit. If anything, I hope Bouchard realizes that her biggest threat is always going to be her next match. Just beat Dellacqua for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Serena Apparently her back has been bothering her and she almost withdrew from this match. Real shame though. A healthy Serena is by far the best player in the WTA. No one else deserves to win a Slam, especially if they're not having to face her in the final. But yeah with her gone the field is wide open. A chance for Genie to make a push as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Marchand Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Genie wins!!! Onto the quarterfinals she goes! Wow what a performance for her! I wondered how she would respond to losing the tiebreak. 5 breaks of serve and only 2 games lost. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteeun Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Great game by Bouchard. That was amazing. Milos will bounce back. Wasn't his best game because i seen him play better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 We are watching a star rise in real time. This is a huge chance for both Ivanovic and Bouchard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Sharapova out as well. Either the seas are parting for an Azarenka 3-peat (ugh!) or else the field is wide open for an underdog to win it all. I'd love for it to be Li Na or Jankovic. Edit: nvm Jankovic is out too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
