Who's Mrs Blues rooting for?

 

[MphsBlues]

She likes Jankovic as well. Neither of us would mind an all Serb final.

 

[volsgal03]

I took my dog out for a walk, what is going on?

 

[MphsBlues]

Sharapova won the first after Jankovic made a pretty good comeback. Jankovic is in the locker room with a back problem - injury time out.

 

[volsgal03]

I wonder if she got hurt during the match, I did see she got three games in the first set.

 

[volsgal03]

she's out and match back on.

She wasn't injured, I don't think. She needs to quit playing that card.

i gotta disagree. Not sure how her mom could have the story before ESPN knew what was wrong. Her mom was reporting the back injury before they showed any indication it was her back.

 

[MphsBlues]

You could be right, Bill. But it's not her first time doing that. I've seen her do it several times before - all when she was down.

 

[MphsBlues]

She did look a little hurt, though. You can usually tell on the service motion.

 

[volfanbill]

also, she couldn't have picked worse timing to fake a injury. She battled back from 5-0 to lose 5-3 and won the first game of the second set.

wait... why did i think she won the first game?

 

[volsgal03]

back problems are never good.

Either way, I gotta agree with you. She definitely has showed signs the past few games. Just hard to believe when someone cries wolf enough times.

 

[volfanbill]

I don't think she cries wolf as often as you think. She's not smooth in her motions, and I could believe it creates muscle/joint problems. Very similar to the Williams' sisters woes, she needs to have better footwork. I don't have any problem watching her do her splits, but the motions associated with them can't be good for the body, no matter how young you are.

 

[volfanbill]

time for miss Ana...

 

[volsgal03]

that't the way to put out your opponent.

 

[MphsBlues]

Wouldn't Ana and Maria make an interesting final. Beauty blonde v Beaty brunette...

you men kill me, they are both pretty ladies. I do like looking at Nadels arms.

if the americans let me down, i have no choice but to enjoy the scenery :whistling:. Plus, there's no doubt that they are both very talented players.

 

[volsgal03]

I hope this match is better than the first one.

 

[MphsBlues]

I'm sure it will be. Unfortunately, I won't be around to see it. 4:30 comes early...

 

[volsgal03]

wow it sure does, drink lots of coffee.

 

[volfanbill]

hantuchova is ON FIRE. absolutely dominating every facet of the match in the first three games.
