Outstading against Wickmayer.! Saved set point twice to take it to a tiebreak, and was behind there also and fought back. Moving so well and very aggressive in her game. S. Williams next, and Williams has had a very easy passage to R4 as usual. Maria has taken her too 3 sets before maybe this time she can clinch a win
Andrea on January 19, 2013 at 4:37 pm said:

Hi Maria it’s Andrea you Italian FAN

Great win against Wickmayer !!

The first set was a real thriller but i was confident in the result !!

I would like so much to see you wearing the headband More Often
than the visor. You are even more wonderful with the headband
And you look more intimidating too.

The headband remembers me your victories against Stosur in China and Japan in 2011.

Now it’s time for another super tough match against Serena so
even if i’m just an amateur player here are my poor ideas :

1) don’t give to her balls within easy range where her power
will immediately show off as winners

2) play more toward the net to make her feel pressure

2) move her very much like Kerber did to win Serena

3) drop shot her much because her power is useless near the net

You can play with her on par about intelligence, class and even experience
but not on par about power

And last but not least … wear the headband Pleazzzzz

Kisses

Your Italian FAN

Andrea

Well done Masha
I am very sad for you out of the round of 16 and I hate to see you and you leave is victorious and happy, but you did the best you have to play and force, but unfortunately put you in front of Serena in the round of 16
You did not lose the tournament but the tournament player like you lost
How come !! soft butterfly “Maria” to meet a monster “Serena”
I wish you happiness and win in other tournaments
Enjoy your time .. Until such time as the next tournament
Take care .. See You in Thailand

peter on January 21, 2013 at 2:22 pm said:

No disgrace being beaten by Serena, who is the best player by a long way. Serena beats most players easily when she is fully fit to play. Scoreline suggests this match wasn’t that close. Hope Maria is happy to have reached her seeding in the draw. Which is a good performance. Pity she had Serena in her section of the draw.
kyle s. on January 21, 2013 at 7:17 pm said:

maria’s draw was probably the toughest, serena just serve too big and it’s just not fair, nothing you can do but hope that serena beats herself, serena will most likely win this slam but hopefully sharapova can stop her, I’m american but I can’t stand serena, womens tennis should be more about powerful serves, chris evertt said when she played with maria at 16 years old she thought she’d easily be in the top ten because she had all court tennis but todays tennis is all about power unfortunately, maria’s game is getting better and better, she is playing the net and hitting awesome lob’s, and all types of down the lines and beautiful angles and volleys, and she is great for womens tennis! the only reason a guy like me watches the wta, she makes it entertaining!
