LittleHurt05 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 My favorite major of the year even though I'm asleep during 75% of the live action. Enjoying this Baghdatis vs. Dmitrov match, especially with the loud fanbases chanting after every point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Radwanska is never gonna win a major. She just can't hit those big winners needed to win big matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She just can't hit those big winners needed to win big matches. Where did Venus come from? Thought she was pretty much done. Would love to see her beat her sister. Always found her 100% more likable. Don't know much about Bouchard but sounds like Maria will have her hands full. Edited January 26, 2015 by Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like she always wins one or two matches at majors and then quietly loses, sometimes you wonder why she keeps playing. Then this happens.

I'm always surprised by how much Venus keeps playing. I'm sure she has all the money and accolades she needs, she doesn't win tourneys anymore, why not just hang em up?

I did Wimbledon last year for the first four days--the great thing about that is the grounds passes are only £20 (though I think they're £25 starting this year)? I didn't get any grounds passes...I got Centre Court on the first day, then Court Two for the Tuesday-Thursday. I think I wound up paying around £180 altogether...that's about $275 in the current exchange rate but was probably closer to $300 last June. Of course, I also had to queue from like 4-5am on those last three days...I got lucky with the Centre Court by using the Ticketmaster "day-before" limited seats in the upper level. I haven't done the USO yet, but I did Cincy in 2013. Tickets are relatively reasonable (especially compared to the USO) and a lot of people have said it's just a better experience overall.

We got tickets for the friday before labor day. Grounds passes were = to arthur ashe tickets (which are effectively grounds passes). We looked on the saturday and tickets were $311, $200 more than Friday. And I'm talking like 2nd row from top in arthur ashe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With her it just seems different, because she was right at the top of the game for a while and now just can't reach that same level of success. (To be fair, as I just looked it up, her current form is better than I have been giving her credit for) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(To be fair, as I just looked it up, her current form is better than I have been giving her credit for) She has actually been doing pretty well and had a nice run in a major just a bit ago. Keep in mind, they are still a good doubles team as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these years I am gonna get to Indian Wells. My wife grew up nearby and her family still lives there, so we are in the area twice a year, but have never been able to time it with the tourney.

Nice to have just in case there is a great match, the atmosphere is great. Louis Armstrong way more fun but we had a pretty easy time getting in there.
