It does show up the ridiculous scheduling of Wimbledon. Women should play their last 16 matches on the middle Sunday, not be asked to play last 16 on the Monday, then qf the following day. A Rad had 2 tough 3-setters vs Pironkova & Li Na, & you could see her body was in a bad way with all the strapping on her legs holding her together.

And while she has a point about 3 setters taking its toll, she only has herself to blame for that. Djoko used to waste his energy by playing 5 sets in the early rounds, and have no energy left in the latter stages of the tournament. Once he stopped doing that, he started to do better in the slams, so she also needs to finish those matches quicker. Tbf she did have tough opponents in r3, r4 and QF but Sabine had an even toucher schedule so that's not a valid excuse really.

she lost not because of strappings

her gamestyle didn't allow her to win

Lisicki is 'built' for the job, A Rad isn't. She has such a slender frame a punishing schedule is bound to take more toll on her. And she will always have tough 3-setters because she can't blow opponents off the court, but slowly break them down with her guile & all-court game.

Still don't think that makes her a vulture. I will agree that it's not wise to play New Haven, especially if you've had a good US Series leading up to it where you've had enough match play, but would think that was more about greed for money (winning US Open series gives you chance at bonus if you do well at USO) than greed for cheap points. In the end playing New Haven was probably short sighted since it might have ruined her chances at a good run at USO, but it's still not vulturing.

Greed for money is pretty much another form of vulturing.

Also you make the mistake once, and then do the same thing even worse next year. Well that doesn't make any sense does it?

With Petra 2012/13 I just think it's a case of bad/inconsistent form and maybe poor scheduling, but she has shown in the past that she is not a vulture by dominating the best players when playing well, unlike players like Ferrer, Errani and Radwanska who have never done this, and imo you don't get the vulture tag just because you're in bad form/a decline.exactlykivi owns most of top10 players when she's not in UE mode

How many matches a year is she not in UE mode?

------------------

they might play best of one set, instead of best of 3.?? That would make them more comfortable.

Even if Radwanska was tired, that is part of winning tournaments as already explained. It's no different from if you keep playing long matches in any tournament eventually it catches up with you. Part of the journey to the title is pacing yourself and getting through your early matches quickly.

true. At least Lisicki showed some power, despite of being off gear sometimes.
