Paula's done a job on young Emma here
|
|
By:
Emma will be playing that 125 next week
|
|
By:
yay!
|
|
By:
We could finally get that elusive battle between Halep and Navarro there that the world is longing for.
|
|
By:
With her scheduling tendencies Navarro will probably play the week right before RG as well.
|
|
By:
She's still young so it makes sense to play often. I think her best surface is hard courts and she needs to improve her clay court game so lots of matches can't hurt
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Paula's really feeling herself here. she planning on winning RG or something after ditching Stef
|
|
By:
Emma not defending her Zperophyr title this week, maybe Genie can take it instead.
|
|
By:
oh and edy I assume you didn't do Dasha against Tadde either? interested in how high Dasha match odds traded when she was losing in the 1st set. I assume probably around 1.9x
|

By:
when Poots lifts the Suzanne-Lenglen at RG, are we gonna throw a party on this forum?
|
|
By:
I will eat a mouse and upload it for everyone to see if that happens.
|
|
By:
Zephyrhills was a W25 last year, not a W75 like this year, and it was won by Makenna Jones.
It was also played in the same week (April 17 to 23) as a W100 in Charleston, which was the tournament Emma played (and indeed won)  By this time last year Emma had then also transitioned to the red European clay. |
|
By:
a mouse? as in a computer mouse?
|
|
By:
Poots. Poots. Poots is on fire!
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Paula probably in the top 12ish real clay court players
|
|
By:
1.09 £9,241.26
1.1 £4.50 £6,467.03 1.11 £4,314.36 Emma beat by the Badassosa ! |
|
By:
did you two see Sonya telling the Italian crowd "FUDGE YOU!!!!" yesterday in her match against Bronzetti?
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
I did. I also saw her call the umpire, or generally the authorities" a dumb.....buttocks or the plural form of that. I forgot.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Yeah, that was quite something wisey !
how do you see eurovision going wisey ? |
|
By:
|
|
By:
Sad to think Stef and Paula are no more, never saw that coming hey !
|
|
By:
Do the betting favourites ever lose in Eurovision these days if the song is somewhat jury compatible?
|
|
By:
These Americans get really hungry when they play tennis.
|
|
By:
she called the Italians... "DUMB PLURAL OF BUTTOCKS ITALIANS!"
|
|

By:
I will consult an East African cook book before doing so of course, not gonna eat if raw and die.
|

|
|
By:
Ireland and Croatia are both very good. Netherlands had a bit of fandom for the music video version, but their live version just ....loses a lot.
|
|
By:
If you can get a bet with a bookmaker, then 10/1 Ukraine each way with 1/5 for 4 places is definitely a good bet. I see this top 4, and if no insiders I think a live chance to win outright - though it will want a favourable draw which is yet to be determined !
|
|
By:
....It shows I'm still connected to Aaron.
|
|
By:
Toad it feels like the jury part decides the winner before they even do the show, because the juries tends to go towards a certain country but then the televote is more polarised so it can't effect as much
|
|
By:
I'm loving the satanic panic some people are having over Ireland's entry.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Hard Rock, hallelujahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
|
|
By:
And then you also have the group of the really, really, really ardent trans activists that lose it over Ireland because the song uses a death spell that also appeared in Harry Potter and it supposedly promotes that SUPERTERF JK Rowling.
