Noskova's got the thickness.  She'll probably need a massage after her match with Iga.  I volunteer.

What do you have to pay to sit in those comfy chairs I wonder?

Coco fails America, loses to Garcia.

Sorana v. Dani next. 

Speaking of failing America, no American men in the 4th round. Not sure thats ever happened in Miami

Once you start dating a WTA tour player (AdM ❤️ KB), I guess that you occasionally see some WTA score lines.

Apparently Sabalenka was no longer with the “boyfriend” who came to Miami to commit suicide.

 

Aryna Sabalenka capitulates in sad scene at Miami Open after ex-boyfriend Konstantin Koltsov’s death

The Australian Open champion’s emotions finally came pouring out after bottling up a tragic week.

A tragic and emotional week for two-time Australian Open tennis champion Aryna Sabalenka has come to an end with a third-round loss to Anhelina Kalinina at the Miami Open — just days after her ex-boyfriend reportedly took his own life.

Former Belarusian national ice hockey player Konstantin Koltsov passed away on Monday morning in what the Miami-Dade Police Department described as an “apparent suicide”.

Sabalenka and Koltsov dated for about three years but had recently broken up before the 42-year-old’s death.

And after a gutsy second-round win on Friday over best friend Paula Badosa, the world No.2 appeared to have little left in the tank physically, mentally or emotionally for a late night Saturday stadium court battle with Ukrainian Kalinina.

When her return wide gave Kalinina the 6-4, 1-6, 6-1 result, the 25-year-old Belarusian bowed her head, took a few steps then flew into a rage, venting her frustration by smashing her racquet to pieces at centre court.

With racquet destroyed, she then turned and walked off court without shaking the Ukrainian’s hand.

“It’s always tough to play on big stages against these top players,” Kalinina said. “Today was really tough with nerves but I managed in the tough moments to deal with it. So, I’m a little bit proud of myself today.”

I love how she is talking about having a good attitude and “positive body language”. 👀

Has Collins undergone an exorcism recently?

😂

Grigor is taking young Carlitos to escuela.

GD 6 4

CA 2 2

 

…but it appears that Grigor has hit a wall (energy wise).

Carlitos now 0-40 to get back on serve. Grigor looks dead.

She is at peace, she’s focused, she has a clothing sponsor, and she’s suddenly wrecking shop!

And she’s retiring later this year (most likely after the US open) so she can start a family! 🤰

I knew that she was retiring and I think that that has helped her temper her temper.

She was locked in and hitting some excellent shots yesterday.

SINNER is fucking on 🔥!!

Watching a little Women’s Doubles now and Martina Navratilova is doing color commentary…

She knows more about tennis than everyone else on the Tennis Channel put together. 

If people would do everything she told them to do, she would e the best coach in tennis. Singles or doubles, but her doubles expertise is many times greater that the #2 expert out there than her singles. 

But she is like a supercomputer of tennis analysis.

Sinner is good at the tennis.

Dimitrov has been great for the last week+, but the Tyrolian Buzz Saw cut through everything.

3 & 0, that was really easy. 

Amanda was down 2-3 and then ran off 10 straight games for the win. 

Replay of Amanda Anisimova match starting soon on The Tennis Channel 🎾.

It's so odd that ESPN+ has the broadcasting rights for Houston, when the Tennis Channel has rights for just about every other ATP/WTA tournament

Damn, it's 3* v. 1 out here with Anisimova v. Cornet.

 

 

 

(*Anisimova, her left boob, and her right boob).

Badosa v Dani in Charleston begins in just over an hour. If Dani is still buzzed from Miami, hot Paula could take this 

Dayana Yastremska smashing the crap out of the ball. 

WTA website says that Yastremska is 5’7”, but she plays like a 5’10”+ power slugger. 

Linette is on her way to the locker room in short order. 

Dayana Yastremska is up 5-0 just 18 minutes in. If Linette is allowed to leave the court after the first serve, then the entire WTA is a joke. 

There should be a rule that  the set has to last at least 40 minutes in order to leave the court between sets.

Linette started testing out some things late in the first set and I she had some break points on Yastremska’s serve in that 6th game. 

My guess is that she applied what she learned from the first set and managed to break Yastremska in the second set. 

I still don’t get score lines like:

EXAMPLE 1

A: 6 1 6

B: 1 6 1

…but I better understand scores like:

EXAMPLE 2

A: 6 2 6

B: 1 6 7

…there is a point where you conserve energy and try some things for the next set. You make your opponent run as much as possible, but as soon as you have to run, you end the point one way or another. 

Example 2 even happens some on the Men’s side. Nadal is about the only player that I think didn’t do this.
