thats a fine specimen of a young lady

In reply to birdseye
She is attractive -let's see how this goes
2018-03-21 17:09:00
Osaka gets the first break 4-3
2018-03-21 17:09:35
In reply to birdseye
Osaka breaks first 4-3.
She is playing lights out tennis 6-3!
2018-03-21 17:21:35
In reply to mikesiva
She really can play - first set to Osaka 6-3.
2018-03-21 17:30:13
The GOAT needs a lot of work to be bad in tip top shape for a Slam. It's a pity she had to meet Osaka in this 1st round.
BTW, I don't think Venus is playing in this tournament, thereby taking the spotlight off another Williams vs Williams clash and allowing Serena to shine on her own. But can she comeback after losing the first set and beat the very "hot" Naomi? Not so sure.

Here's the thing - it's like watching young Serena against a post-baby Serena.
Serena still has strategy to play with - dis isn't over.
1-1

Serena's timing isn't quite there yet.
2018-03-21 17:58:42
Osaka wins with ease.
Sadly the guard is changing.
2018-03-21 17:59:09
In reply to Chrissy
wow! that last point was indicative of it not being Serena day
2018-03-21 18:00:17
That was a beatdown. The Queen-in-Waiting, Naomi Osaka

Venus seeded at eight so I think she's playing.
2018-03-21 18:01:10
I was nervous - she's my favourite player. I kinda wanted to impress her 
2018-03-21 19:36:35
In reply to Chrissy
That may be true but Serena just had baby and need to get back in shape.
Osaka is darn good now though.
Saw the little bow she made to Serena at the end. Sure Japanese protocol.

She adores Serena - admitted she was really nervous. I'd be afraid to see her when she's unafraid

I did not see her name in any schedule. I'll check again

Its time for the guard to change though...had to happen at some point.

Yes, she is playing. I just saw the complete draw. She's in the bottom half, on a track to meet Wozniacki
2018-03-24 03:24:33
In reply to ProWI
Venus is through to the third round.
2018-03-25 12:34:19
Bertens up now for Venus.
That was a crazy first set. Venus led 5-0 but managed to lose 7-5.
2018-03-25 13:24:29
In reply to mikesiva
Venus should not contest the 2nd set if she going to play so poorly. After serving for the set, she has lost six straight games and is about to lose the set.
2018-03-25 13:26:46
VEnus was leading 5-0 and just lost the set.
2018-03-25 13:28:53
In reply to Chrissy
Piss poor tennis.
2018-03-25 13:31:26
Most often, no matter what is her lead, whenever Venus is serving for a set she loses it, and then has to depend on her opponent ‘s poor game to win it.
2018-03-25 13:54:36
Venus is going to lose this match, if she loses her serve again.
2018-03-25 14:25:40
Let’s see if Venus is going to lose another serve for the set. The odds should be in her favour, but who knows with Venus?
2018-03-25 14:28:29
In reply to ProWI
Calm down man
2nd set Venus 6-3
2018-03-25 14:28:51
In reply to ProWI
Venus fought back to take the second set at three.
2018-03-25 14:30:36
This game is too fast, the sun too damn hot for these 37 old legs to playing all these three setters.
2018-03-25 14:32:17
In reply to Chrissy
I am calm.......only after she won the set...not too calm though.
2018-03-25 15:23:19
In reply to ProWI
LOL
5-5
Finish it now Venus. Look if she wants to continue to play she has to win these.
2018-03-25 15:24:31
In reply to ProWI
Venus saves three match points to tie it up at 5-5 in the final set.
2018-03-25 15:26:28
In reply to mikesiva
And now she breaks Bertens and will serve for the match.
2018-03-25 15:30:12
In reply to Chrissy
Can she hold a game to win a set? She did the last one. Let’s see if she beats her odds.
2018-03-25 15:31:45
In reply to ProWI
Game, set and match.
Listen bro class is class - that and the will to win.
2018-03-25 15:35:42
Whoa! See the damn smile on that face . She needed that one as good as a Big-O

When she beat an injured Serena and thought she had arrived. Pay yuh dues and have some manners.

Venus will play fellow American Danielle Collins in the quarter finals tonight.
2018-03-28 16:35:31
In reply to mikesiva
Collins is 24.
She played collegiate tennis at the University of Virginia and won the NCAA singles title twice, during her sophomore and senior years. She graduated in 2016 as the top ranked collegiate player in the country with a degree in media studies.
Wikipedia
Trivia question - when was the last time that two players with university degrees played in a quarterfinal?
2018-03-28 16:56:00
I was in Key Biscayne last week (work-trip) and stayed in the same hotel Venus was (still is, I suppose). Pretty cool fact for me. Didn't get to watch any of the matches (right next door), but golfed which was also next door over.
Go Venus!!!

Collins played well and V was having serious problems with her first serve.
Bwoy 37 playing 25 is not easy with these power players.
Collins is clearly the surprise of the Miami Open.

That was a gripping match....
