OT: Tennis anyone?

I was thinking the same thing. There are a lot of lesbians in tennis. If she was a lesbian that question would have royally pissed her off. She took in stride. Perhaps the dumbest question i've ever heard at a sporting event.

Maybe you're too young to remember but Alberto Tomba was asked pretty much the same question at the '88 games in Calgary, and his answer was just "better" than Bouchard's: Katarina Witt.
 
Re: OT: Tennis anyone? Milos Raonic, The Majors, etc.

in all fairness though, Tomba liked to pimp the fact he was a party guy and a slam hound

Didn't you say she was over-rated?

It is a near sure bet that she wins grandslams. Teenaged phenoms are few and far between in tennis these days.

No I said that about Raonic! Bouchard actually has more game than her compatriot! :lol
Raonic: just a big serve and a fh... Bouchard can actually movement well around a court and has better point construction as well.

Roanic has one of the best serves and forehands in the sport. He's not over-rated. He's right where he should be.
 
Re: OT: Tennis anyone? Milos Raonic, The Majors, etc.

Agnieszka Radwanska is leading Victoria Azarenka 6-1, 0-0.

I was actually thinking last nght that Radwanska could knock off the #2 seed. What I like about this is that if that happens and somehow Bouchard can beat Li I believe she has a real shot against Radwanska. They played each other at the Hopman Cup a few weeks back and it was a close match whereby Radwanska had to come up with some great shots to beat the teen.

Anyhow let's see if Azarenka is done for because there is a long way to go yet but if she is eliminated then the Vegas odds for Eugenie winning the Open may have gone up a tad bit more.

I hope Azarenka loses because those groans are so annoying.

Aren't they? I remember last year she was in this Open and was in a long rally with all the groans and on the one shot where she had to really reach for the ball she was as quiet as a mouse. I swear those groans do not come from hitting the ball.

I can't watch her... I'm not even watching this match, just keeping an eye on the score.

You may have missed the match before this one, Cibulkova looked like a machine. She could be the one that comes out on top after all is said and done.

Yeah, didn't see that one. If Azarenka falls then it is definitely wide open.

Anyone but Williams or Azarenka is fine by me.
 
Re: OT: Tennis anyone? Milos Raonic, The Majors, etc.

Cibulkova's run reminds me of the run Bartoli had at Wimbledon. Just a relentless ball of energy.
 
Re: OT: Tennis anyone? Milos Raonic, The Majors, etc.

Radwanska and Azarenka are going to a third set.
 
Re: OT: Tennis anyone? Milos Raonic, The Majors, etc.

Azarenka is someone that Genie should emulate. They have similar power games and body types.
 
Re: OT: Tennis anyone? Milos Raonic, The Majors, etc.

With that said - I don't mind seeing her lose. Williams and Azarenka dominate woman's tennis so much it makes it boring.
