azarenka gawn

gawn?

She is a total disgrace

no, the people who set up this system of mandatory tournaments, penalties and etc are the disgrace.

No. She is the disgrace.

Hello GVL

Just had a meeting with my co-pirates on our island to discuss
your selection of word GAWN.

GAWN is usually a common misspelling or typo for GAIN, GOWN, YAWN, GOWNS,
FAWN, GNAW, AWN, GAWK, GARN or GNAWN.

My co-pirates and myself believe that you wanted to say GOWN.

Based on Peer's fashion sense, I am not surprised.
Peer to be appointed soon the new face of Victoria's Secret

holy crap have you been to the jimmy69 school of phorum banter?

she always pulls out of tournies or retires in matches, should have known better i just backed her for 100.

no, the people who set up this system of mandatory tournaments, penalties and etc are the disgrace.

only her second this year tbf, and none in running

lol she might layed herself in the outright only then

still more than most and last year she pulled out of loads.

Awful woman...she knew she wasn't going to play the next match. They'd put her out on Court 2 for a  match she was never going to play...

it's a plot to get woz out of a top 8 seeding for roland garros if na li reaches the rome sf then woz drops out of the top 8

She only played to avoid a zero pointer...

Who is jimmy69 school

We do not have schools on our island.
We live in an open minded community surrounded by natural beauty.
We are self-made people and specialize in the sale of kiwi fruits.
My wife Alvilda and my son Benito oversee the kiwi production, while
some of my senior pirates and myself take our ship The Rage of the Shark
every day to sail to the nearest wi-fi spot to connect to Betfair.

On our way home we usually capture a Spanish, British or French ship
sell the bounty to refurbish our betfair bank when needed.

You should come to our island in the near future. It is like a dream come true.

All the girl play tennis by the way. When they reach a certain level, we
register them with the WTA and then they start to play in futures, challengers
and eventually the big one. Petra Cetkovska is our most successful talent.

Have a Kiwi GVL and be happy

foggini cant be underestimated he is solid player with touch of occasional briliance,and on the surface he had some semi decent results(memorable win on one broken leg against montanes to get to the quaters of RG last yr)

Fognini did not have a broken leg.
Stupid comment.
Get your act straight.

I think the retirement of Azarenka goes back to her previous
match, the one before Peer. Cannot remember who it was right now.

At the end of warm-up, Azarenka returned to her seat and before
sitting down, she kicked her huge name plate several times and
it ended up under her bank.

I do want to say any more about it.

* DONT want to say any more about it

So did the organisers have some info she was going to pull out so scheduled her on court two. Or did she pull out because she was scheduled on court two?

The former I suggest...

She wasn't the first and won't be the last.

Enable the players to commit to their own tournaments of choice, or at least once and for all get rid of back to back masters/premier mandatory tournaments with maybe the exception of the Indian Wells/Miami duo (which is what the ATP should've looked at years ago instead of taking the best of 5 finals away) you wouldn't have players like Azarenka pulling stunts like this. Or at least it would happen less often.

we can all be grateful that the number 1 ranking and the interest it attracts, has stopped her telling her camp and acquaintances she's starting a match with no intention of completing it and then inventing a fake injury after going a set up and retiring.

whilst i'm with jimmy that her actions here are pretty awful it is preferable to the other scenario.

what is the reasoning she gave?

and it's not as though vika played some highly competitive matches in madrid. they were all very one sided.

unfortunately it's the infectious influence of the williams sisters again where conditioning is more about not playing tournaments than being able to commit to a schedule.

whilst we shouldn't expect the same power from the women as the men, we should at least expect similar levels of conditioning at the very top of the game. former champions like graf and navratilova were perfectly capable of it.

shoulder injury, jjjjj

pathetic

I'm ok with the route Azarenka went. As DStyle mentioned she could've pulled off one of your old tricks, or simply lost the match against Peer yesterday or Cibulkova today. Though to be honest losing against Peer would've taken a hundred times more of an effort than winning 2 and 1, as sad as that sounds for the israelian.

It's not fair towards the tournament to enter it without any intent to compete, nor is it fair for Parmentier who would've come in as a lucky loser (premium VIP special super lucky loser as it would've been against Peer), but from a betting perspective it was as straight a way as she could've gone if she was never going to compete (though I know this is exactly what DStyle is bemoaning - a top player skips a week, a tournament she committed to without having played a remotely taxing schedule in Madrid). Far less money is going to change hands from the outright than it would have with an intentional loss.

No idea if the WTA could do anything to prevent stuff like this, the roadmap obviously doesn't work as intended. That was already pretty clear after Serena's 2009 clay season.

But maybe it isn't, or shouldn't be, the WTAs job to do anything at all. Maybe it should be the coaches responsibility to form their players into competitors who won't do stuff like that.

Just like it isn't the WTAs job to outlaw grunting that's louder than a starting airplane.

it is the wta's responsibility because they set up the roadmap that creates situations like thi.s of interest to me if i might paste something i posted on another fred ...

cause she was again scheduled to play Cibulkova in a parking lot like in Miami...


ah but the interesting question is was this scheduled out there because the organisers already knew? and if they did how did they keep a lid on it so the market didn't know? azarenka markets have a history of drifting before wds.

The roadmap does support players entering tournaments without the intention of winning it, as without it and it's penalties Azarenka and other top players would pull out before it starts.

So you have to wonder what's in the better interest of a tournament like Rome. A big name in Azarenka who plays a night match, or Parmentier and Peer slugging it out and the tournament then getting one additional match of the winner of Peer-Parmentier against Cibulkova. I'd say the solution with Azarenka playing one match, maybe her having an autograph session too, is more attractive for spectators and the tournament.

..and boy do they need some...

The organisers already knew that Azarenka was going to pull out. Why else would she be put out on Court 2...

If the organisers knew, then you would think Peer knew, or at least heard a whisper.

Was schedule confirmed before or during the Az v Peer match?

How can you play a match in those circumstances?

today's oop was online before the match, with her on ct2 vs cib, match marked as possible court change, as was na li's. speculation of wtaworld was if aza had played today the match would've been swapped with na li's.
