Members Faulkner Posted August 1, 2018 Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) WTF is going on with this Konta match? Serena is getting destroyed. Is she injured? This might be the worst match of Serena’s entire career. She looks near tears. The entire crowd seems shellshocked. Yeah, something’s not right with Serena. Konta didn’t even celebrate because she can’t take pride in that victory. Edited August 1, 2018 by Faulkner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 1, 2018 Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 Something clearly wasn't right, either physically or mentally. I did wonder whether this news item played into her state in this match though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted August 1, 2018 Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) That came up for me when I did a search on Serena too. I do wonder... She did press afterwards, but that would be a tough topic to broach. This quote is telling, though: Edited August 1, 2018 by Faulkner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 1, 2018 Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 I thought that was Oracene in that picture. Yetunde was definitely her mother's twin! So sad for the family Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted August 1, 2018 Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) The British press is being obnoxious about Konta’s win. They are the worst. They are in for a rude awakening when an in-form, dialed-in Serena spanks that ass as she did in Melbourne last year.

Members ChitHappens Posted August 1, 2018 Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 Serena could be 70 with one leg and, for some, it still would be a huge victory to some! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted August 1, 2018 Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 This is funny if true. He lost in three sets to Istomin in Austria. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 1, 2018 Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 I'm reading the guy who killed Yetunde is back in jail already. He was released in March. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted August 1, 2018 Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 Very few in the tennis press have acknowledged that story as a possible factor in Serena’s loss. I really hate the media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 1, 2018 Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 Of course not and you know Mary Carillo most definitely has a lady boner after that crushing loss. Queen constantly going thru stuff, and it has to be super tough doing it publicly. The news blasting the info about her sister's killer? Even tho he was released in March, seeing it everywhere now is something Queen has to go thru all over again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 1, 2018 Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 WTA was truly a stronger product when it had at least a few events on network broadcast TV in America. Well, maybe after Les Moonves tanks CBS with his ever growing scandals, there might be room for better negotiations to begin to bring some matches back to network TV. Who knows? In terms of Serena's loss, in her interview, she stated that she tried her best and her opponent played well. She also said she had too many things on her mind right now to be pressed about this loss. The press is suddenly shy about bringing up this personal situation likely, after badgering Venus about the tragic car accident last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 1, 2018 Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 I miss the US Open on CBS. There was more tennis and less fluff talk. Gawd ESPN is just horrible with meaningless chat about nothing instead of showing matches at the majors. Wimbledon was so much better when it was on NBC/HBO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 1, 2018 Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 I don't think any of us here can be disappointed about beIN because we didn't get much of anything from that chitty network in regards to WTA. That network was more committed to 5 year olds playing baseball than it ever was to WTA, and at times when they could have repeated a match, it was either a very long advertisement of another sport or ATP stuff. Huge disappointment that WTA wasn't treated better and I hope Simon is out of what's left of the WTA! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
