Dont really like Henin

Clijsters is who I like very much!

Just saw the match Clijsters vs Mattek-Sands.


Mattek-Sands played unbelievably for somebody with her rank....but Clijsters tuned it around ;)

BTW that Mattek-Sands just looked a bit like a s*lut. Sorry for my words, but just cant help. With those movements, tatoo, outfit, the skirt and those knee socks. In addition, her boyfriend next to her coach, looked like a harley man or what. :D Like American Movie stars those two. :D

It was something totaly different to see this kind of player on the WTA comparing to those nice and classy players like Daniela :)

Victoria Azarenka looks in a really bad way right now. She just collapsed on court against Gisela Dulko and she's getting taken off in a wheelchair. I really hope she's all right. It was like that time she collapsed at the Australian Open last year.

Saw that last night on Sky Sports News and it looked really bad. It's been confirmed that she was suffering from a mild concussion after falling in the gym before the match with Dulko but that she has now been released from hospital is a resting at her hotel. Hope she get's well soon.

just as she was about to win her first grand slam. The YEC seem so far away for Vika right now unfortunately. I was really counting on Vika to make this US Open worthwhile as I have no Serena here and I really didn't think Danka could beat Safina. Now if she just beats Dementieva my week will be a bit better

Condolences about Vika,christina. She seems eerily similar to Daniela in that things always seem to go wrong just as she seems poised to make a breakthrough. She was superb in crushing Sharapova at Stanford. Now this.... :cry:

You can grunt your way to tennis win, study says


Reuters, Friday October 1 2010

* Grunts can hide clues to a ball's direction
* Is grunting fair?
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Tennis players who grunt loudly when they hit the ball appear to have a competitive edge over their opponents, according to a study published on Friday.
The noise accompanying a hard shot makes an opponent slower to respond and more likely to misjudge exactly where the ball is going -- so it is tougher to hit it back, said Canadian and American researchers.
"Conservatively, our findings suggest that a tennis ball traveling 50 miles per hour (80 kph) could appear 24 inches 2 feet (60 cm) closer to the opponent than it actually is," said Scott Sinnett, an assistant at the University of Hawaii.
The researchers tested their theory on students in a laboratory at the University of British Columbia, using sounds that were comparable in volume to grunts of tennis stars Maria Sharapova and Rafael Nadal.
The results were published in the online issue of Public Library of Science ONE.
Sinnett and his colleagues say there are several possible explanations for why grunting has an effect.
Some professional tennis players try to judge the spin and velocity of a ball from the sound it makes hitting a racket, so a loud grunt would mask those clues, while also serving as a general distraction, the researchers suggested.
Grunting is a controversial subject in tennis circles, with nine-time Wimbledon champion Martina Navratilova having called it "cheating pure and simple."
"The study raises a number of interesting questions for tennis. For example, if Rafael Nadal is grunting and Roger Federer is not, is that fair?" Sinnett said.
A Wimbledon match this year between Serena Williams and Portuguese teenager Michelle Larcher de Brito was described as a "decibel Derby" for all the noise the players were making.
Sinnett said the researchers now planned to look at whether the world's top tennis players had developed strategies to mitigate the effects of their opponents' grunts. (Reporting by Allan Dowd; Editing by Peter Cooney)
