Petra Kvitova Vs Jelena Jankovic (Semifinal WTA Beijing 2013 and COTC)

Quittova to suck big time here.

expecting much closer match than the odds suggest

COTC?

Clash of the Century, silly!

oh. thought you meant this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clash_of_the_Champions for a while.

You know it's a big match when Kevin Skinner is on commentary.

Kvitova not a Beijing champion, silly!

moonface won here 5 years ago

That commentator yesterday sucked. He must've said 50 to 100 times that Jankovic was blowing her nose and absolutely must be a bit under the weather

WTA or generally the broadcaster should really refrain from showing the outside of the stadium. That smog ain't no pretty sight and it certainly doesn't make me think of going there because it's so beautiful.

New guy, eh? He seemed fairly clueless in general, called Woz Wozanaki. Also, did someone check the tissue to see if it was black?

i know that Jankovic is not classically good looking , but I like her moonfaced somehow

Lots of people in the stadium, most have bought their tickets before the quarterfinals.

With the technology today, you'd think they could show old footage from 2008 or something.

Kvitova to serve first, Jelena makes her wait

JJ waiting to be killed at the baseline

JJ waiting for Kvitova to kill herself from the baseline (sorry about the pun)

Anybody knows why the Live Video is not working even though the match has started? Another issues from Betfair... as usual.

Can't help with that. I always watch on 365. Need to have at least 0.01 in whatever your currency is though.

Very reliable as they actually care about people watching and not looking dumb (except for that Anna Livadaru thing)

Otherwise you can also look at eg streamhunter.eu or http://www.coolsport.tv/schedule.html

Would recommend to have some kind of ad blocker installed as the ads can be kinda annoying there

that was ugly

How Kvitova can miss this shot

That, AND giving false info on whether USO will be streamed or not.

Kvitova tired ?

With them streaming the US Open no matter what someone told you. So it's all good

It was nice that they did stream in the end, but they could have given me correct info the 1st and 2nd time I asked them instead of telling me lies, telling me sweet little lies.

Does he always fiddle around with Kvitova's racquet?

this was the first time I noticed that

oh dear lord

Does he always do it or only when she needs to break to keep the set alive?

it worked.

looks like another set where UEs>Winners

quite easily...

Linz Qualies streamed.

Europe

a few winners here and there now

Dragged myself out of bed early to watch this, and BF video not working ffs.

OMG what a shot Petra

OMG what a shot Petra

OMG what a pointless morrillo Petra

JJ will burn the net cord after the match

mug miss followed by class winner

The legend of Petra

hope she doesn't. pollution rating is bad enough as it is.

I can see why P3tra isn't too keen on playing Bo5.

I think a 3 setter today would either tie or break the century record of most 3-setters played in a single season.

I like your use of *would* ^

Do you think they have an agreement in the WTA.. I win the 1st set.. you have the 2nd.. then you can have the 3rd set because I won a 3rd set last week.. Women are so bloody organised

was still only 0-3 and bp when I wrote that

Petra Kvitova ®

think it was nice of edy not to jinx jj in this set.

I think I can change that "would" to "will"

can't jinx from here

6 in a row now. What's the record?

Live Video still not working and Betfair doesn't care... as usual :D

Dunno caramba, go ask on tf!

I don't have an account

Ok, I'll ask for you!

One of these days...

I checked Petra's stats and it's a record for her.

Kvitova looks completely tired

she's certainly not putting enough on the ball right now.

allowing jankovic to push her about. needs to shorten the points.

And maybe she does not need

I found a 7 match run for Safarova from 2010/11 if you include challengers, otherwise that's also a 6 match run:

He's started sticking up stats based selections on the football forum.

Kvitova really bad today

Great tank from the kvitov-cheat after first set.

These are the other players with lots of 3-setters this century. Checking them might give some results

Patty Schnyder 36 2005 Petra Kvitova 33 2013 Anastasia Myskina 32 2002 Ai Sugiyama 32 2003 Jelena Jankovic 30 2007 Lucie Safarova 30 2011 - See more at: http://www.wtatennis.com/news/article/3477775

deserves to get f** very bloody after those 2 sets of non trying comedy.

should get a fine from wta for not trying

Pojd off ya lardy clown

saved me from the heart JJ heart test .... more shaving with a cheese grater IMO .

Skinner describing Serena as a wrecking ball. Another pop music reference?

thx edy, checked all those + some other players but didn't find anyone with more than 7, matchstat only has stats from 2000 though so possible that sugiyama had a run before that that I missed. Maybe I should email WTA and they can have their intern (the one who had to look up when the last time 3 top 10 ranked players won a tourney in the same week) have a look at it.
