Sabine Lisicki Breaks The Top 20 and Aravane Rezai Wreaks Havoc In Dallas

Leave a Comment Posted by on August 27, 2011

Irina-Camelia Begu’s performance in the semis of Dallas was one of the more abysmal showings seen at that stage of a WTA event – it was so bad that even Chanda Rubin was audibly embarrassed for her in the commentary box. However, Sabine Lisicki was smart enough to make her pay for playing such an embarrasingmatch, powering through 6-0 6-1 to reach yet another final this year, and in the process deservedly breaking the top 20 for the very first time in her career.

Meanwhile, Aravane Rezai appears to be finding some form at long last as she fought through Angelique Kerber in the second semifinal to reach her first final of the year and set up a big-hitting showdown against Lisicki.

Really, the only analysis I can offer up in a match involving both Sabine Lisicki and Aravane Rezai is; those poor, poor tennis balls.

Quotable Quotes: Andrea Petkovic Chats About The Lovely Subject of Vomiting On-court

Leave a Comment Posted by on August 7, 2011

During her match against Agnieszka Radwanska, Andrea Petkovic sprinted offcourt mid-match to vomit her guts out in the toilets. After the match she was asked about the dramatic incident;

“Is it more embarrassing running off the court like a maniac or throwing up on court and being on SportsCenter for the next 25 years? Yeah, running off the court is better, so that’s what I did.”

Can’t argue with that.

That’s how many double faults Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova hit in her first round match in Baku against the great 274th-ranked Valeria Solovieva. Even more shockingly, 16 of those double faults came in the first set – that’s four whole service games gifted in one set.

However, as impressively awful as that number is, Pavlyuchenkova still fell short of Legend Kournikova’s world record of 31 double faults in a match. Better luck next time, Pavs.

Oh, and here is the full Baku draw. It’s baaad.
