A Russian journalist figured it was because she was disgusted with herself because of the way she played but she also rolled her eyes and shook her head when Rodi took the medical TO to have her hip massaged. Yeah Rodi can be an annoying drama queen but she did have major hip surgery so you can't really assume she was faking that
one.

I only saw the last few points but I heard Rodi was complaining to the chair umpire about something she believed Kuzzy was doing; signalling to the chair ump or trying to influence her or something like that. I have heard Kuzzy is one of the most well-liked players on tour, so I'm not so sure she is in the wrong here.

After I posted that, they said on the news here that Kuznetsova was pissed off because of what she felt were stalling tactics by Rodi which is fair enough if she was angry about anything other than the medical TO. Rodi's a nutcase. You know it's bad when a country like Australia which is extremely biased in general towards its athletes rarely mentions her in a positive light.

blackbeSSt · 06-25-10, 09:16 AM

stupid 5dimes doesn't give a set spread. only games spread and o/u on points

legendmatt34 · 06-25-10, 10:01 AM

Go with Hanescu. even money.

TennisBabe · 06-25-10, 10:01 AM

What a great tiebreaker! I was nervous there for a bit. I hate it when a player outplays his opponent but one bad shot costs him the set in a tiebreak

JNic · 06-25-10, 10:02 AM

wow what a breaker by hewitt, too sick down the line winners and then a drop volley to clinch it!

JNic · 06-25-10, 10:02 AM

monfils just played so passive on all the rallies but his first serve is saving him

TennisBabe · 06-25-10, 10:03 AM

Which is why I don't want to see another tiebreaker in the 3rd. Finish him off!

JNic · 06-25-10, 10:05 AM

monfils might as well go for winners on hewitt's service games. he is yet to even see a break point!

blackbeSSt · 06-25-10, 10:20 AM

so TB with you taking a bet of -2.5 sets with hewitt and roddick you are pretty much saying its going to be a 3-0 match in both right?

TennisBabe · 06-25-10, 10:25 AM

Correct.

TennisBabe · 06-25-10, 10:45 AM

Goodbye Gael!

JNic · 06-25-10, 10:47 AM

interested to see the line with djokovic and hewitt, seems like a pick em to me. -110 each but who knows

TennisBabe · 06-25-10, 10:48 AM

I had that matchup in my SBR bracket pool and went with Djokovic. Going to be close

Thank goodness that's over. I needed him to finish off a parlay but as soon as he started his typical stumbling around there for about 10-15 minutes I was willing him to just get it over with. That's the only reason I never have the guts to take him 3-0 at this stage - it's like he has a brain freeze or something.

Great job and congrats!!

Hewitt +180 probably.

TennisBabe · 06-25-10, 02:14 PM

4-1 +3.80 on the day with Brands pending

JNic · 06-25-10, 02:20 PM

brands has saved about 4 match points and hanescu with 2 medical timeouts, looking good for him

Cappinpicks · 06-25-10, 02:33 PM

Nice Brands was free money hanscue can't close a match out 2-0

JNic · 06-25-10, 02:44 PM

i hope they dont void in 5th sets for you cause hanescu real bad attitude there. purposely foot faults and then forfeits

blackbeSSt · 06-25-10, 02:50 PM

HA! hanescu retired! win for us!

TennisBabe · 06-25-10, 02:51 PM

5-1 +4.80 on the day. One damn tiebreak point costed a perfect day

17-5 during Wimbledon

wrongturn · 06-25-10, 02:53 PM

nice come back win for brands.

blackbeSSt · 06-25-10, 02:54 PM

so the -2.5 on roddick was the only lose huh? not bad, not bad at all

TennisBabe · 06-25-10, 02:56 PM

Yup..I hate tiebreakers

Pauulzcappin · 06-25-10, 05:34 PM

TB, do you like Soderling -2.5 against Belluci tomorrow?

Fthenorm · 06-25-10, 09:45 PM

nice work TB..grinding out Wimbledon wins without laying a ton of chalk has not been an easy task this year! 17-5 is simply phenomenal

BET THE HOOK · 06-25-10, 10:22 PM

I think there will be some upsets tomorrow for sure
