If she can steady that serve,Laura should win this one.

Did she speak with the Australian accent then?

Not that I noticed. She was pretty zitty then though.

by noleisthebest Thu Jan 17, 2013 11:06 am

I can't work out how a professional tennis player like Kvitova can have such a wobbly looking stomach.
Looks like she's never done a sit-up in her life!

Ha ha.. She is not a model. Some people have certain body structure. Even if every girl starts working out and following the diet like a super model, still most of them won't have the shape that some have. Its a lot a 'natural thing'

we are not talking about looks here, her stomach is the size of a 5-6 month pregnant woman.

by noleisthebest Thu Jan 17, 2013 11:14 am

She also has very poor posture, so def questionable abs.

by noleisthebest Thu Jan 17, 2013 11:15 am

Laura's got to win this first game,she should play a lot better and more relax ahead.

by raiders_of_the_lost_ark Thu Jan 17, 2013 11:18 am

Well okay. I rather not have this discussion about how Kvitova looks like. smiley

by Tenez Thu Jan 17, 2013 11:20 am

I like Kvit. Her game and her personality.

by raiders_of_the_lost_ark Thu Jan 17, 2013 11:22 am

Kvitova playing some super tennis in crunch times. Laura looks like squandering many BPs, but to be fair to her Kvitova is playing awesome tennis when down.

by noleisthebest Thu Jan 17, 2013 11:32 am

I like Petra, too, but not as much as when she started.
She relies too much on her power, and lacks the finesse. Robson's not much different, but there's something in her game that looks a bit more exciting than Kvitova's for me, just can't put my finger what exactly.

She could mature into a great player.

It's one of those rare match when I can't take side...certainly not strongly.

Go Laura serve it out!!!! open - Australian Open 2013: Matches of the day : Day 4 17-Jan-2013 - Page 2 273093567

by noleisthebest Thu Jan 17, 2013 11:51 am

Actually, it's better if she wins the set by breaking Petra, she'll be serving in the third first then.
Petra could be suffering in the hot conditions as she's asthmatic.

Come on Laura, if you win, I may have a chance of catching up with that man who called you zitty in public!!!!

by noleisthebest Thu Jan 17, 2013 12:10 pm

Can you catch/let the ball if you mistoss it as many times as you like or does it have to be in 25 secs.?

it's paper thin between those 2. They go for such small margins. YOu have to applaud this gutsy game. Few men can play that gutsy on the tour nowadays.

That's why I like watching her compared with Watson Ten. Even if she chucks in countless UE's she will still go for the big shots. I am sure Murray would love a FH like Robbo's open - Australian Open 2013: Matches of the day : Day 4 17-Jan-2013 - Page 2 1071211947

For someone who isn't really super fit, Robbo has guts in abundance. I remember that 3 setter with Na at the US Open and wondered how on earth she came through it.
