Members Soapsuds Posted October 24, 2014 Members Share Posted October 24, 2014 Nadal season is over with and will not compete in the finale. That means that the number 9th ranked male tennis player in points for the year will qualify for year end tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 27, 2014 Members Share Posted October 27, 2014 Great article, Chit. Not surprising that it is in the European/Eurosport, not the U.S. edition. I recently saw a short film Spike Lee did on Mo'ne Davis and besides wishing she were playing tennis, I thought back to how sad it made me feel to read online comments questioning the gender of this talented & beautiful young girl! Sadly, I think when there is a young woman, even a girl who accomplishes beyond what some individuals perceive possible because of a person's gender or race, the accusations and aspersions inevitable stary flying around the atmosphere. As almost a life-long tennis fan (since the days of Steffi and Monica), I can remember seeing the Williams Sisters since before they went pro and I actually remember when Serena's serve became more consistent and as I remember she trained, practiced and consulted a serving coach to make her serve more consistently effective and powerful. And with the improved serve, I really believe it freed her up to work on the other parts of her game. Longevity and success in a sport like tennis, I think you must have a certain type of discipline and intelligence to compete at the level that the Williams Sisters and Federer do into their 30s. Yes, body type and genetics may play a part in constitution but I think that's a fraction of sporting success. I think playing and training smart counts for a whole lot at that advanced stage of a sporting career. Don't know why Serena (and even Venus) don't get credit for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 11, 2014 Members Share Posted November 11, 2014 Has anyone been trying to watch the WTF? Very unfortunate but what an apt acronym. Truly WTF! I tried to watch a few matches online here and there and I could only really get through two (barely). This has to be the least competitive year end Championships I've seen. The WTA YEC began with intrigue and surprises and although Serena won, for awhile it wasn't a given that she would even make the Semis. And even though the finals was a domination, the majority of the matches were reasonably competitive. Score 1 for the Ladies and for the equal prize money proponents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 11, 2014 Members Share Posted November 11, 2014 All boring matches…which tells me the season is too long and some shouldn't be there …lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted November 12, 2014 Members Share Posted November 12, 2014 London has been mediocre at best. Berdych and Cilic are embarrassments. This is supposed to be the best 8? Nadal and Delpo need to get healthy quick! That fast surface is perfect for them and these matches would be more interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
