Sigh, Novak you giant douche :( get your head together son!

Just watching highlights of Stosur v Williams again, how epic were the points from Sam in the 3rd when facing match point & again when she broke Serena!
Further to this, anyone see Serena's press conference? Worst loser, seriously.

"No i was definitely off"

"um y'know she's a interesting competition level, yeah i definitely think she's a good competitor"

Carn Sam!

Haha, never understood how you couldn't just run yourself into the ground when you have something like that in a semi... at least give it a crack next game.

I guess they are so professional that they know when they're cooked, and know that they're only going to miss out on other pay days. Meh.
She didn't even get the trainer out though. She just walked off.

To be fair, Serena gave Stosur plenty of praise before the match, saying she had an all-round game.

"Yeah she's amazing," Williams said.

"She's fast, she is strong and has a great serve. You know I don't know if she has a real weakness."


I'm not going to try and defend Williams' attitude when she loses, because I've got no ground. She is a bad loser.

But I do think admitting you were off (and clearly anyone who watched would see she was in the first 1.5 sets at the very least) isn't necessarily being a bad lore.

I'd generally agree, but for the fact that she pretty much always does it. Honestly cannot ever recall her so much as admitting to being outplayed.

Obviously too early to say, but that hold at 1-2 could very well be really important if Jankovic's last service game is anything to go by. Might have been her biggest chance.

Thing I like about Stosur is that she seems a cool chick. Been so long since we've had a good tennis player who wasn't a ****.

Berdych vs. Soderling tonight is one of those match-ups that makes you tingle.

Could be the biggest slug-fest on clay in the last decade.

Stosur :wub:...should play for the reds.

Gotta awta on Williams, never praises the other person when she loses, seems to claim she was 'off' whenever she loses. WAC. Looking forward to when she loses in a first round to a qualifier)
