If this was a drinking game you'd be comatose by the first ad break.

Martina is still quality.

Does she still play doubles?

This feels like the kind of game genie loses.

Yes, number 5 seeds with Coco Vanderweghe.

Yeah, they were going on about it on day 1 i think

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Bouchard's serve is still horrific

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Won't shock me one bit if Bouchard loses.

 

[Hawks1523]

Saw that double coming a mile away

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Genie getting beaten by somebody who hits the ball harder than she does.

What else is new.

 

[rippersnipper]

Genie needs to be creative

 

[ChookMFC]

Genie is sooo one-dimensional. She can't handle anyone with more power than her, or anyone who has a very good return game.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Her serve is just awful and it breaks under pressure

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Go Coco!!!

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Every slam loss for Bouchard over her career (until 2016, where she just played awful): Sharapova, Suarez Navarro, Kerber, Li Na, Sharapova, Kvitova, Makarova, Sharapova, Mladenovic, Duan. Only two exceptions to the "hits harder" rule in ten slams (although I don't know Duan's game).

CoCo takes the first. She's serving really well, and Genie is never the best returner.

Genie hates anyone who slices the ball a lot, which Suarez Navarro, Makarova and Duan (I think; I haven't seen much of her) tend to do.

Yep. Power and slice she can't cope with - because both push her back in the court and slow her down. If she can't dictate play she can't win.

 

[ChookMFC]

Something gives me the feeling that CoCo is relishing overpowering one of the "pretty girls".

 

[Hawks1523]

Genie gets a break!

 

[ChookMFC]

CoCo's starting to get distracted, which she tends to do. Big chance now for Genie to take back the momentum.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Oh for crying out loud Svitolina

Oh for crying out loud Svitolina

I'm surprised she dropped the opening set to Pavlyuchenkova. Should really have crusied through this match and won in 2.

what was coco cracking the shits at because it has thrown her off her game. bouchard needs to capitalize on this now

 

[Sempfys]

Is it just me or does Vandeweghe come across as being kind of unlikeable?
