USO 2025 Day 10 QF

[Miss_Vee]

I know that American commentators have speak about positively about American players.  However, Mary Jo is giving Pegula too much credit in this match.  If Krejikova is ailing, maybe Jessica will take this match.  

Pegula vs Krejikova 

Alcaraz vs Lehecka 

Evening

Sabalenka vs Vondrousova 

Djokovic vs Fritz

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

lol, Miss_Vee with today's WTA Pegula is not that bad. She has maximized whatever money can buy her. 

However, she should not be inside the top 10. She only shows up for one major out of the 4.

[fedexpress06]

Operative words today's WTA lol.  Pegula is not better than Meghan Shaughnessey.  No way anyone can convince me of that when looking at both of them play. 

[Miss_Vee]

Im sorry, but Pegula is so basic.  It’s a compliment to be consistent, but I cannot appreciate her tennis one bit.  Barbora is not the sane player that we saw through the first 4 rounds.  That match against Townsend, after a previous 3 sets in earlier round, has taken its toll.  Doesn’t have enough to get the final.  

[sugarplum876]

She is just as every other women in the tour besides muchova who has the best game but is abducted by aliens every time she has to play an important match.

[sugarplum876]

Carlitos please play as efficient as you can,conserve your energy.

[fedexpress06]

Pegula is horrid.  Almost Errani-level bad but albeit nothing will ever be that atrocious.  Barbora doesn't have an excuse though.  truly great players overcome this.  Justine-Capriati SF 03 USO and then Justine comes back and wins the final the next day.  Barbora has a day off and can't put up a better performance against Pegula lol

Barbora is one of those players whose fitness is questionable. I don't think she spends much time in the gym.

[sugarplum876]

So many excuses lol Taylor has better conditioning than Barbora 😂 these ladies are like Sek said the other day , pure comedy.thats a reality show I will watch, TT who ate my darn Hershey bar, jelena on the corner with chocolate smeared on her mouth, smiling quietly….sabalenka dancing on top of a table while Victoria azarenka looking and saying if she calls that dancing I should be hoisting a dancing with the stars trophy. Naomi talking to Iga ,I’m still a shy girl in front of the crowd but when I’m in bad I’m an animal….iga  says really? I wish I have that,my partner is so cold ….

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

lol, Sugar.

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

Some of these recent players in the commentator box crack me up. James Blake talking about how most of the players now days are afraid to come to the net.

I don't remember Blake visiting the net, like Serena would say, maybe to shake hands.

[sugarplum876]

Yes, he became a better player at the booth,lol Blake was so frustrating to watch, amazing power and movement but motto was if nothing  works hit harder.

[Miss_Vee]

Barbora Krejikova has to use all of her strength to try to comeback time after time.  Injury after injury.  She is not like Serena or Venus, who can return to the top after a long period of time off the court.  It has to be so frustrating for her, to not have the fitness level, after coming back  in 3 set matches in 2 rounds to arrive at the quarter finals.  In my view, she cannot go the distance to a final…yet.  She was flat against Pegula.  She was initially flat against Townsend as well.  Maybe barring another injury setback, she will do fine in Asia, and the start of next season.

[Miss_Vee]

Omg, I knew it!  Vondrousova destroyed her body beating Rybakina on Sunday night.  Why did Rybakina allow her back into the 3rd set?  Maketa has pulled out of tonight’s qrtr final match with a back injury.  Could not get through her practice session this afternoon.  Sabalenka gets a walkover to the SF. Aryna is one lucky girl….lol

[sugarplum876]

Saba would have beat her healthy or not.

[Miss_Vee]

These frail Czech girls should just retire from the sport.  They are so talented at tennis, but their bodies don’t hold up under the rigours of this sport.  They always create hope in me because I do like to watch them, when they are healthy and playing well.  However they cannot remain healthy for even 3 to 6 months…at least not recently.

[sugarplum876]

Missvee a friend of mind lived there for 4 years she said they are famous for making beautiful glass art, girls are fragile as glass.

[fedexpress06]

Sab lucked out when Rybakina lost.  That would've been tough for Sab to overcome.  Rybakina suddenly remembers how to play tennis against Sab. 

[Miss_Vee]

Marketa has a knee injury,,which had begun before the match with Rybakina, but then went away the day of the match.  Returned today.

[Miss_Vee]

Sugs!  Are you watching this match?  I know how much you love Fritz!! 😊

[Miss_Vee]

Ain’t worth watching.  Fritz is already fighting to hold on to his first service game.  Lol.  Djokovic wants to known also as an AI generated player…like Sinner.😂

[sugarplum876]

Missvee  you know it, but is not looking good . But I wasn’t expecting a good match.

[realtennist...@gmail.com]

Couple things who is this Pegula girl I see she is top 10 and in a semi can she play or is she a backboard?

This is why I don’t get into these girls the way I used to that girl who went down Pegula saved 8 match points vs Taylor ……yet Tay ate a box of wheaties and got up at midnight to make sure she beat Venus in doubles. Why didn’t she bring that energy in her last match?

[sugarplum876]

😂😂😂 Bianca you are wild.dont waste your time with the ladies.

[realtennist...@gmail.com]

Folks I hate say it but Novak is going to win this thing I can’t stand his ass but he’s going to take all these younger guys down …. That’s why he’s hanging around still.

[Miss_Vee]

Bianca, I cannot agree with you on this one.  Let’s see if he can get past Alcaraz, and I don’t think he will beat Alcaraz this time.  Even if he does beat Carlos, he will be beaten by Sinner.

[sugarplum876]

Bianca this Novak is not beating Carlos.

[realtennist...@gmail.com]

I hope you guys are correct however my gut is telling me me something else …. Novak has no business making it this far un-challenged this Fritz match is reminding me of how the big 4 used to dismantle the big servers like Isner,Roddick,Karlovic,Anderson,Berdych,Querrey etc

[Miss_Vee]

Taylor Fritz is not a great athlete.  While he may have a great serve, and great ground strokes, he is always beaten by the better athlete in these later rounds of GS and Masters tournaments.  Heck, even Shapo blitzed Taylor in February of this year.  Mind you, Shapo has a,ways played Taylor tough. Fritz is unable to maintain this high level facing Novak, or Carlos or Sinner now.

[Miss_Vee]

Bianca, Novak has reached the SF of all 4 GS this year, and hasn’t reached a final.  I was hoping that Fritz would win even 1 set.  Not sure that he can win it now.  It’s obvious that Novak decided not to play any lead up tournaments, saving his body for one last push at winning in NYC.

However when he faces off against Carlos expect him to be dragged call over the court by Carlos. If he beats Carlos, he will not have the energy to take on a Jannik Sinner who now does everything slightly better than Novak….even though he has patterned his game style after Novak.  He is the younger, stronger, faster version of Novak.

[Miss_Vee]

Cmon Fritz.  Take this set!  Djokovic lost his cool a bit a few minutes ago…lol.

[Miss_Vee]

Felix has finally won a set off De Minaur, who is a scrappy fighter, but I’m hoping that FAA can win this one.

[Miss_Vee]

What a snoozer.  Just peeking in occasionally.

[Miss_Vee]

Omg, what a tedious match.  Love Felix, but the tennis match wasn’t pretty.  He looked so much better against Zverev, and Rublev.  At least he is into the SF again at the USO.  This match took 4 hrs 30 mins.

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

OMG. Sad part is he has no chance against Sinner unless Sinner falls and breaks his leg. 

I didn't watch but I am so happy for him.

[Miss_Vee]

The match that I wanted to watch has just started on court…..Swiatek vs Anisimova.  C’mon Amanda, hold your service game.  

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

I am here for the ladies as well. I see Amanda already lost serve.

[Miss_Vee]

Anisimova broke back, so it’s 1 game a piece.  C’mon Amanda.  Get that serve going now.

[realtennist...@gmail.com]

I’m not going to say too much cause I don’t to jinx her but cheering heavily for this Amanda girl …. Get your lick back for that bag of bagels at Wimbledon 

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

Same here Bianca. Not a word from me, all I have to say is Amanda really hits a sweet ball. If only she was a little faster.

[Miss_Vee]

I agree Bianca.  We all are aware that Amanda was not there physically or mentally in that Wimbledon final.   Keeping the faith for Amanda.  Let’s see how long Swiatek will take on this Brb…lol.

[Miss_Vee]

C’mon Anisimova!  Let’s go get it!!!!!,,,

[Miss_Vee]

Iga is ridiculous going over to her coach to get tips on what to do after that break!  These girls are so soft!!  C’mon Amanda!!

[Miss_Vee]

Revenge is a dish served…..cold!  Congrats Amanda.

[realtennist...@gmail.com]

Bye bitch 

[Miss_Vee]

Bianca, I’m 🤣🤣🤣!

[Sekasi_ChangeIsComing]

Bianca, you are killing us 🤣🤣

What a great match from Anisimova.   She held her nerve, and she did to Iga on this hardcourt what Ostapenko does all the time….flattens Iga with her flat penetrating ground strokes, with a great serve.

[realtennist...@gmail.com]

I’m still learning about Amanda hope she wins this thing hopefully someone can bounce Osaka next 

[sugarplum876]

Missvee ,I see we are in agreement lol ,soft players.

[Miss_Vee]

sugar we are in agreement here with Iga especially.  I have also seen the same with Coco.  These girls are too reliant on their coaches.  I understand now that coaching from players box has always been part of the  sport.  Back in the day I was unaware of it, until uncle Tony was caught constantly coaching Rafa from the box…lol.  However now that it is allowed, these young people don’t know how to problem solve on their own, and don’t have the skill to change their game plan.

[Miss_Vee]

Bianca, I think Amanda can do this, but first she has to get through Osaka or Muchova, and then Sabalenka or Pegula.  She can do this, because I can recall when she was 16 years old, how she took out Kvitova in Indian Wells or Miami. So that was 8 years ago.  I expected her to be winning GS even before Gauff,  she is that good.  Her Father/Coach’s death derailed her at age 18 years of age.

[Miss_Vee]

Amanda also reached the SF at Roland Garros at age 17 yrs of age, so she has shown promise for years now.  Her ground strokes are so pure, and her serve is just as good as Osaka’s serve.  Osaka moves better, but we shall see what happens if Osaka wins tonight.

[Miss_Vee]

You all might be surprised to hear that since I backed off from being in Osaka’s corner a month ago, I’m not feeling the stress of wanting her to win all the time.  Feels so much better.

[Miss_Vee]

You have to give to both Naomi and Muchova, because they are playing wonderful looking tennis.

[sugarplum876]

Missvee, match is pretty even, I feel they are both nervous to strike first.

[Miss_Vee]

Naomi struck first.  Won the first set with the only break of serve in the first set.  I love watching her play tennis.  They are both striking the ball very cleanly.

[Miss_Vee]

Uh oh, Muchova has left the court with a doctor and physio.  I did wonder how she would hold up, knowing that she has played four 3 set matches.  

C’mon Osaka!  Let’s get this done in 2 sets.

[Miss_Vee]

Karolina Muchova is one tough cookie.  In fact, most of these Czech women are tough, but frail.  They are always injured, or have had many surgeries, but they keep coming back for more punishment.

[fedexpress06]

Miss Vee, sek said it.  Muchova is made of glass.  So talented but so delicate.  I think Amanda is playing even better than Naomi right now and give her the edge but Naomi is unbeatable when she gets to this stage of majors.  we will see. 

[fedexpress06]

I just don't see anyone beating Sinner playing like this.  Carlos has to amp it up several levels which he can but he's also more likely to choke against Novak

[Miss_Vee]

Fedex, I see Carlos beating Novak in 4 sets.  Carlos is playing well, and having very few lapses in concentration.  In fact, in his qrtr final match, no lapses.  Novak was stretched last night.  Carlos will have him stretched more on Friday.

[Miss_Vee]

Naomi is playing very well, and so is Amanda.  This is one match that I have to watch tomorrow evening.  Amanda has beaten Naomi twice…AO 2022, and another match.  Don’t know if Naomi has beaten Amanda ever.

[Miss_Vee]

Amanda has beaten Osaka the two times they have faced off.  Her second win was RG this year.  Don’t recall that win.  However Amanda is also very good on clay.

[Miss_Vee]

Musetti wants to make sure that he offers some resistance to Sinner in this match.  He has such an aesthetically pleasing game. Whereas Sinner plays like a sledgehammer….lol.
