Sania Mirza Tournaments 2009 ...

Re: Sania Mirza Tournaments 2009 ...
these retirements, especially when trailing in a match, are becoming more and more dubious by the day. Czink retiring at the start of the match is fine. it tells me she might have a genuine problem. however, players retiring while trailing is becoming too frequent to be ignored. The ATP and WTA must adopt stricter norms to prevent this, e.g., doing proper medical examination if there's indeed a problem or preventing an "injured" player from playing the next two tournaments. BTW, guess who leads in this category this year?
Yes, Bartoli, with 5 retirements !!!

I don't think Peer is a go-for-broke player. She is very much a "retriever"/counter puncher.akmohanty wrote:I think what's happening is that some players suit sania's style (probably go-for-broke players like herself) in terms of her "having their number" regardless of their ranking, e.g., Peer, Bartoli, while others, sometimes even much lower ranked, probably play in a style that's uncomfortable to her, e.g., retrieving that one extra ball which makes her commit an UFE going for the kill again (unfortunately my gut feel is that since Schiavone belongs to this category sania will have a tough time today) and/or it could even be those who attack weak serves better. So, i think we will continue seeing her unpredictable results and we, as fans, should take it as part and parcel of her game.prasen9 wrote:I think maybe we should moderate our emotions by taking the average of at least say a month's play and not comment entirely on the last day's play. The latter is why we see comments ranging from "retire" to "God". A good win --- although I would have hoped that the match completed. Can she make another final? Tough but hope she has another good day at the office.
that said, she should certainly focus on her service over the off-season and come back an even better player.

Sania's semifinal against Schiavone is the first match, at noon today, i.e., starting in about 10 minutes. Go Sania!

Re: Sania Mirza Tournaments 2009 ...
Hmmm .. It is 12.20 pm there and the match has not hit the WTA live score board yet. I wonder if either of the players gave a walkover or something? Hope not... Jay

I've been surfacing all the sports channels on Singapore cable TV, but Osaka isn't on today (they will be telecasting Guangzhou but not Osaka, it seems).

Sania down 0-2 in the first set. She's been broken once, but is fighting back in the third game. Schiavone was down 0-30, but it's now 30-all.

Sania holds to make it 2-4. Slow start has hurt her today, but she seems to be getting into the match now.
