Robson and Cirstea

Robson looks short

Cirstea looks fat

Gentlemen!!!  Short or fat, what about the tennis :)

Well, it's WTA

I give in!  My dosh is on Laura

I'm on Laura too

robson choking from *5-1?

5-4

LOL *5-1 to 5-4* what a choke laura

sorana will win 7-5 lol we've seen this oh so many times

I choke I'm happy about. I backed Cirstea at odds of 3 and it took that comeback/choke to get me out of my bet without losing anything!

got cristea @ 6.2

A choke*

Well at least the opening post is funny. "GB new star" well OK, for UK standards maybe she is.

hold here and set 90% lost for luara

might be let off the hook lol

LOL

LOL

well done to stop the rot, fun while it lasted

1-5 to 4-5 and then incredibly retarded service game

1.01 backers in set winners market can proceed to change their brown undies lol

but well, 2nd set cristea

Cirstea*

definitely, first game break imo

wow robson will beat hsieh definitely!

why aren't they giving laura a WC into tokyo??

she was scheduled to play in the qualies but obviously she won't be able to... her current form definitely warrants a WC...

might you be one of them? :)

Far too good for her.  Only lack of concentration towards the business end is holding her back in matches now.

Will be top 20 perhaps top 10 by the time Wimbledon comes round again

fully agree and sure hope so... love her style, very kerber-like

couldn't agree more sir-harry

Cirtsea is such a frustrating player. Seen some of her matches this year and I was sure she was going to end up the year inside the top ten but she has been playing crap for teh past few months. She was brilliant in Stanford until she came up against Serena and since then she has regressed badly. Talent definitely there but she seems to be wasting it for whatever reason.

talent is there surely, but you can't be serious about top 10... there are at least 15 players right now who could beat her on any surface, on any day

Deadly serious. Handsome Irishman wouldn't joke about what is such a grave matter. No seriously, really thought she was going to push on. And lets face it it's not that hard to believe she could make the top ten. Look at Errani and Bartoli. Two top ten players that have also flattered to deceive on numerous occasions.

Her loss against Tatishvili at the US was particularly disappointing after beating Lisicki in the 1st Round.  She may have found her level, top 50 player and no more.

Lauras victorious march to the top 15 continues. More WTA muggary, they say. Yes, backing against the new machine that is Ms Robson most certainly is.

Laura, Laura will tear you apart, again.

come on, both bartoli and errani are significantly better... errani chases down EVERYTHING and she plays a very intelligent game, while the power of bartoli is really up there.. cirstea doesn't have a weapon like that... however, let me say it again: definitely has a lot of talent, and I can see her stick around the top 30-40 for a while

Although you are right HI, the likes of Kerber and Errani have taken a while to get going but I don't see that she has any real weapons.

Cirsteas only chance of breaking the top 10 is if they included sexiness and arse shape points.

my god laura is absolutely unrecognisable since the olympics

agreed

Even Cirstea seemed to be making strides from being just a horny doubles player in the last year. Seems to have petered out though now. I'll always have a soft spot (well, semi tbf) for her.

just a semi

this game will never end...

now she will take the break

told ya :)

5-1 again

hopefully she doesn't repeat the mess that was the first set

so does laura basically get kicked out of the tokyo tournament because she has done well here?

getting punished for doing well?

that was my exact thought. it really is stupid, they should have given her a WC. instead, they gave one to date-krumm... yep, the 75 yo GRANDMOTHER who should just fukcing retire... just coz she's japanese

here we go

nooo

she'll close it out this time

Having a stumble when holding a big lead is ok, so long as you don't fck it up and lose the set like she used to. The more times she experiences this and still puts the set/match to bed, the stronger she'll become and even less panicky. Its all good stuff in the bank

fully agree

MP

TAKE IT

Is she taking more than 1 attempt at tossing the ball up on serve?

she having a wobble again?

lol

god

nice to see both players embracing and adopting the Bartoli diet

Not sure if it's the stream, as they both looked really chunky there! Lauras slightly bigger but Cirstea is always slender and edible.

firstrowsports
