Members Faulkner Posted March 1, 2019 Members Share Posted March 1, 2019 Ugh. That’s infuriating. That’s not the first time he’s let a dubious call slide when he’s had challenges left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 1, 2019 Members Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Monfils trusts too much (the officials, other players, etc.) and not everyone is as much about fair play as he is. Venus had a tendency to do this as well but Wimbledon 2006, was the beginning of that lesson that the linespeople can often make egregious errors. She still tends to trust the chair umpires a bit too much for my liking but at least, she challenges more recently and she tends to be correct when she does. Maybe once Monfils watches the video, he'll take the lesson from that. So, if all these journos were trying to give Elina credit for Monfils' winning streak, what does that make her now?

Members Faulkner Posted March 1, 2019 Members Share Posted March 1, 2019 I wonder if the full electronic line calling they use at the NextGen finals in Milan will ever be fully used at tour-level tournaments across the board. I’ve read that it’s likely a lot cheaper than employing several linespeople. Certainly, it would help avoid these shocking calls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted March 2, 2019 Members Share Posted March 2, 2019 I am happy for Tsitsipas. I hope he can take out Roger but he hasn't faced much competition although Verdasco should've beaten him. But we know when it comes to crunch time....Verdasco crumbles like a cookie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 2, 2019 Members Share Posted March 2, 2019 Please tell me that that picture/graphic was made by a fan with Microsoft Paint. Does the TC like Tsitsipas, or nah? Someone could've have made a more presentable picture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted March 3, 2019 Members Share Posted March 3, 2019 Wow at Wang Yafan coming back from a set and break down against Kenin to win her first WTA tour title in Acapulco. She really gets some pop on her shots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 3, 2019 Members Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Wang has always been dangerous. As a Venus fan, I discovered this the hard way at last year's French Open (I think it was at Roland Garros). I didn't get to see much of the match but I took a glimpse and saw that Wang was up 3-1 in the third and guessed that she would take the title. Kenin looks to have a promising career but I'm not in the least surprised that Wang took the title.
