I already called that tea a few pages back. Venus flopping in close matches at the USO against opponents who can keep the ball in is always obvious.

But really even Venus shouldn't be able to lose to this.

Mirjana Lucic Baroni is hardly a nobody. Please, do your research.

Clock her, Errani.

But Clijsters wasn't one of those who were just keeping the ball in the play, she was pretty aggressive too (not saying always but she was no Errani)

5-5

Flop Errani

Not Errani flopping against these puffballs from Venus in this game. What kind of alternate universe.

Come on Venus. I need that USO 2002 rematch.

Venus def Lucic 6-0 6-0

First time to hear from this local. And no, thx.

If this goes to a TB. 7-0 Errani.

Exactly. Clijsters was an excellent ball mover araound the court with being aggresive. She was a baseliner, while Errani is simply hitting the ball back. All the time.

Halep down a break in the second.

This is going to a tiebreak.

I'd like to be the first to congratulate Errani on her first victory over Venus.

Screaming. Bye Venus.

6-0 0-6 7-6 (0)



Only Venus.

Errani is dragging her in these baseline exchanges. Poor Venus.

Wait, isn't Vee always flopping in TB?

Can't agree more. I think Wozniacki, as of late, tries to play similar style of game

Not Venus pushing.

Venus pushing the 1st serve in and playing cautiously but Errani dragging. This loss will hurt.
