KC -6 +110

Really like this play, Petrova is shit IMO and Clijsters will bring it.

[timbo46]

Call me stubborn but I still don't believe in Kimmy.

[zeusky]

-5 yes; -6 iffy. GL though!!

[EmpireMaker]

I believe, Clijsters all the way !!!!

[Glitch]

i woulda liked it last before last night but she was playing very passively and i think she might be content with carrying one break through each set and not really bringin the heat.

shes a beast tho. i really wouldnt put it past her to win 6-3 6-4 6-1 (10)
im on the +6 side of this for like 3 SBR points in yisman's book

[revnecro1273]

am i seeing this right? clijsters lost the first set 0-6? wtf

[PAPSMEAR]

clisters hasn't bothered the scorer yet

you might get lucky and she retires hurt with a pulled heart muscle

[Glitch]

kim c gets bagled in the first
guess petrova means business tonight.

[Glitch]

or maybe she stayed up late sight-seeing with her daughter

[yisman]

Petrova took the first eight games.

[PAPSMEAR]

i'm glad these 2 can play tennis as they wouldn't be winning any beauty contests. Both are mutt ugly

[w3coyote]

Unforced errors in first set Clijsters 17, Petrova 2; first serve % Clijsters 41, Petrova 69; win on 1st serve Clijsters 3/7, Petrova 9/9; win on second serve Clijsters 1/10 (!), Petrova 3/4. Pretty impressive stats... and I took Clijsters after the first set at odds 2,3. what was I thinking....

[RobbReport]

wow... this is WTA guys. serve is very important in tennis and Clijsters and Henin scares me with theirs.

[PAPSMEAR]

Clisters are about the only thing going for her. is she still breast feeding or something as they seem bigger than i remember. i only watch female tennis for a bit of a perve. the tennis itself is shit boring

[yisman]

make it first 9 before Clijsters finally holds a serve.

6-0 3-1 Petrova

[The General]

Clijsters is getting an arse whooping I wouldn't have thought. Serena or Henin, now?

[yisman]

Petrova pretty consistently makes it several rounds into tournaments. She's better than she gets credit for.

[yisman]

Clijsters threw her racket and the crowd applauded.

6-0 5-1 now

[PAPSMEAR]

any idea how many actual points Clisters has actually won in the entire match...wouldn't be many

[Glitch]

na na na naaa na na na naaaa heyyyeyyeyyyy...
Goo-ood bye

[PAPSMEAR]

yet another lopsided female match...what's new...and they get equal pay for this crap playing 50 minutes. until the quarter finals come around ladies tennis is a massive joke

[GiveMeaBJ]

Embarrassing.

[yisman]

if you had Petrova -10.5, you are a winner!


6-0 6-1

massacre

never seen a greater disparity between expectations and results.

Clijsters was about a -1000 favorite. Favored by 6 games as well.

[RobbReport]

I know she ****ed a lot of parlays up tonight... like it was her job.

[samitarian]

haha what a shit performance. go go henin

[Glitch]

hahaha jk of course

[jjgold]

Horrific performance and I am shocked. She was playing great.

Tourney being set up for one of Williams to in t now

[Dark Horse]

Phew. Glad I didn't parlay the two Belgians for free money. Anybody figured out why Clijsters played like this?

[RobbReport]

yeah, because it was fixed.

[Dark Horse]

I don't think so. She's shocked.

"I was completely off. Just, I think tennis-wise, I didn't feel the ball at all," Clijsters told reporters. "It sucks. It's something you don't want to happen too often.

"You know, matches like this, maybe it happens once a year where you feel like this.

"But you don't want it to happen more than this because then, you know, it's not a coincidence."

Clijsters has adopted a meticulous approach to her training and travel and decided to cut back on the number of tournaments since she returned. She said the build-up for the Australian Open was exactly as planned.

"After doing well at the U.S. Open and coming here, I was feeling good. I felt like I had a really good preparation.

"I'm very superstitious with my routines and everything, so I really stick to that every day.

"That's why I'm a little bit confused in a way as well, why something like this happened. I ate the same, slept the same, everything... I really have nothing else. I don't know what more it could be."

Clijsters said she would return home and leave the match to the archives.

"This is something probably you want to forget as soon as possible and go home and get settled at home for a few days and then start working hard again and try to forget about it.

"Everything I've been doing so far with my coach, my fitness coach, everything has been going really well.

"I'm going to try to not let a match like this get me down or start doubting myself or anything."

[RobbReport]

overconfident maybe?

[theplagy]

WTA, what's new?

[soli]

Clijster just didn't have it. It beees that way sometimes

[ji03]

I cant believe she lost 6-0 6-1. That was amazingly weird.

[Shark79]

Serena to take it ? Any prop bets available now ?
