Members Soapsuds Posted November 20, 2017 Members Share Posted November 20, 2017 This is awful news. I didn't even know she had cancer. No one will forget her crying after losing the Wimbledon final. I am glad she was able to come back and win it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted November 20, 2017 Members Share Posted November 20, 2017 Oh no Please register in order to view this content That is so sad. Not even 50 years old. I too remember that Wimbledon final she played against Steffi and her tears afterwards. I'm so glad she won the title a few years later. RIP Jana. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted November 21, 2017 Members Share Posted November 21, 2017 Please register in order to view this content I am so sad to hear of her death. The moment when HRH The Duchess of Kent pulled her head onto her shoulder so she could cry was a moment of such compassion. Her jubilation at Novotna's win years later was heartening. They had a special bond. I wonder how The Duchess, now 84, feels today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted November 21, 2017 Members Share Posted November 21, 2017 I remember that match and was gutted for Jana. I cried with her because she had Steffy on the ropes. That match was hers but she let Steffy back in and lost. She was devastated. A really sweet lady!

Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 21, 2017 Members Share Posted November 21, 2017 Is she going to claim that Max forgot to warn her to click the link? I wonder if the tennis press will try to make excuses for her again so they can return to "business as usual" trying to promote her. It will be interesting to see who writes/investigates more on this and who tries to tamp down the story. Hey Tennis Fans, Have you all heard that the Majors are returning to a 16 player draw? There are a host of other rules (etc, shot clock) that will be in effect next year. Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted November 21, 2017 Members Share Posted November 21, 2017 I would have had more seeds, not fewer. Not sure why they did this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 21, 2017 Members Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) So it is happening? I hated the 32 draw when it was changed but got use to it. Now I am not sure if I want the top 16 seeds back. That means Murray could face either Roger or Nadal in the 4th round in Australia and Milos, Berdych, Kyrios and Kei will be unseeded floaters....yikes....!! The 16 seeds won't happen until 2019. I like the shot clock of 25 seconds....Nadal looking at you....LOL http://www.tennisnow.com/Blogs/NET-POSTS/November-2017-(1)/Big-Changes-are-Coming-to-Grand-Slam-Tennis-in-the.aspx Edited November 21, 2017 by Hunk Chandler Massey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 21, 2017 Members Share Posted November 21, 2017 They claimed that the 16 player draw will make early rounds more competitive, which was already the case on the Women's side. I've also become used to the 32 seed draw. CoCo tweeted that the players weren't consulted and it seems that she doesn't like the penalty for taking more than the allotted time on/after the warm up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 28, 2017 Members Share Posted November 28, 2017 Stan Wawrinka is supposed to make an announcement, next week, I think. Any guesses on what we think that announcement will be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 28, 2017 Members Share Posted November 28, 2017 Probably who his new coach is? Could he be retiring now that Magnus Norman is gone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted November 30, 2017 Members Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) How funny. I suppose Agassi couldn't do it full time. Edit: just saw that Agassi is staying on. Edited November 30, 2017 by Faulkner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
