Warm Ups for Roland Garros

Jankovic just took the first set against Venus 6-0 and V really did not play that badly but Jelena was awesome, I'm not sure she has ever played a better set than that. :shock:

If this style is here to stay then she will be the next Hantuchova

As i was watching the replay, i saw ana hit some nice forehands. I think she was just being more patient and waiting longer than usual to go for her shot

Ultra boring match between Sir Shankalot and Clement in the Estoril Open - Portugal.

Federer saved a set point and took the first set in the tie-breaker.
13 winners each with 25 unforced errors for Fed and 28 ue's for Clement.
2nd set currently under way.

Jankovic saved 2mp to beat Serena 7-6 final set. Towards the end there was an arguement when Serena held her hand up but Jankovic didnt see and thought she had an ace. At the end Serena apologised and it picked up her saying "it's not like I'm Justine" lol. Good to know she doesnt hold a grudge.

The one time I want Ivanovic to win a match, she does this. I mean for Gods sake!! You've beaten Azarenka, Dementieva and Petrova and now you'r losing to the Cheat!! You better come back to win the match!! :evil:

yea i dont understand, she looks like she is doing well this tournament but then loses to someone she should have beaten.

But it was a good tournament for her, considering the god awful tennis she has been playing

The good thing was it wasnt panic or implosion that caused her too lose, she just couldnt adapt too her opponents game style.

I would be happy if MJMS beats Jankovic tomorrow.
"You beat the Williams sisters and I beat the Serbia sisters!" :lol:

Djokovic pulled out of Belgrade after a set because of his "allergies" :roll:

It was a really pathetic match, TBH i think it might have been fixed to let the young serbian win

Not sure how she wangled it but Ivanovic has been given a first round bye in Madrid and will meet Jankovic in her first match.

That's the rule in the new Roadmap.
The 4 semifinalists in the previous mandatory event get Byes in the next one if these two are back-to-back.
I might miss something though.

I just realised djokovic could become no.1 after madrid and rg. Although how many points do you get for getting to semi's in a gs and masters?

by **jayl0ve** » Sat, 08 May 2010 01:14

They oughta write a special rule, excluding him from the #1 spot under ANY circumstances.

by **AUSSIE_FABS** » Sat, 08 May 2010 01:27

I think he gets allergies from no.1 spot so no need to worry.
