2ForMacAdoo Posted February 17, 2021 Author Posted February 17, 2021 Chrissie Evert's comment about Kim and Terry not having any influence over Jess' tennis game was something I read in an article and that anyone could find online. I just expected that a tennis legend would have special insight but of course they can't know everything about everyone I guess. Quote

I played a client/acquaintance once in a friendly little match at our club. I knew he was a prominent judge and his wife was a teacher my wife was friendly with. That’s all I knew. I was up 5-2 in the first, and lost. I waS UP 4-1 in the second, and lost. I got tight, and he got better. Laser focus. Like Sampras, saved himself for the BIG points and never made a mistake. I later learned he was the all-time single season scoring average player for University of Florida basketball. A rather large but agile man. He had also won 2 straight 4.0 club championships and I think he was in the finals at 4.5 playing against former college players. He had a mental level I did not have available. There is another level, but you just keeping plugging away. Jessica fading here, as I did..... 1 Quote
Fan in Chicago Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Pegula in deep deep trouble. JBrady is playing with fire. Quote

Network would be wise to take note of the Buffalo TV market's potential when there's a local connection (or of course just regular hockey or football on). Throw the new WNY (and probably SE Florida) viewers a bone by doing a little more homework. That's just diligent broadcast production and growing the product. Quote

However this match ends, what an incredible run by Jess. 3 Quote
Freddie's Dead Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Brady en fuego, running Pegs around. Pegs can get back by running Brady around, but she MUST hold serve in this next game. She needs to make Brady hit winners, and get rid of the unforced errors. Quote
17islongenough Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 What's up with losing to Bradys? 1 2 Quote
Process Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Pegula falling apart. Has been dominated after the first set. She had a good run though, was fun to follow. 2 Quote

Bills of Boston Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 That has been great to watch, really impressive all around Quote
Freddie's Dead Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Wow, Pegs just wilted in the 3rd after breaking Brady in the 1st game of the third set. Too many unforced errors. Brady is clearly more fit. Good result Jess, see you at the US Open. Quote
eball Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Nice run. Really looked like she lost steam in the middle of the second set. Quote

berg1029 Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 pretty awesome run. here's hoping that she can use it to build momentum going forward Quote
Richard Noggin Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Anyone in WNY need a hitting partner? I have only one friend who plays, and he's breaking down (we're in our early 40s). Despite my age and lack of a 2nd serve, I know I've got a solid game in me if only I could get out there more. Any decent opportunities for affordable lessons or singles play? I've never enjoyed doubles much, unfortunately (probably my sometimes erratic service game; gets a little hairy with a partner at the net). 1 Quote
Gugny Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 I think the moment got the best of her. Like the 2nd set in her 4th round match. Too much to overcome this time. Great learning lesson. What a great run and she should be proud of herself!!! Quote

It's one thing where no matter how much I play (haven't played a ton), I don't get better at all. 2 Quote

It's one thing where no matter how much I play (haven't played a ton), I don't get better at all. It's a tough sport to play only casually/occasionally. So many moving parts. And frustrating as heck when you're rusty or just not all that good. But once you get a taste of what real hitting feels like... I'm not good most of the time. But usually around September or October I catch fleeting glimpses of what decent tennis feels like. Quote
