Re: '22 AO Day 8 OoP & Discussion
You would think that at this stage of the tournament, they would space the matches out better.
There are likely to be 3 men's singles matches being played at the same time.
Not good.

Not enjoying this Mertens-Collins match, for some reason. It feels joyless and tense.

It is a bit flat, though. Very tempted to switch to KC Vs Buf.

Re: '22 AO Day 8 OoP & Discussion
Comms asking if Collins is fully healthy. She keeps grabbing at her back. Still she's up 3-0 in the second set just like she was in the first set.

Re: '22 AO Day 8 OoP & Discussion
That was too easy. I actually like her (for now), so that''s not it. Flat's a good word for it. I also can't grasp how Mertens wins so many matches. It aggravates me when I can't read a match. I think Collins isn't defending very well, so Mertens doesn't have to do anything special to win points, and Mertens's own defense is pretty good. And maybe Mertens is ultra consistent and just aggressive enough.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 1:27 amBecause... Danielle Collins is in it?

Yeah, if nothing else, she's just really tired and sore.

Re: '22 AO Day 8 OoP & Discussion
What an extreme contrast in personalities this match is... Collins, the brash, loud, unapologetic, in-your-face player vs. Mertens, the quiet, unassuming, polite player.
First set was odd - all Collins, then all Mertens.
Second set more balanced - I'm surprised Mertens faded.
Should be an interesting third.

Why are you afraid of veganism? I've been doing it since I was 15 years old, and not only do I love the taste, but I'm also healthier than most others my age.dryrunguy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 1:45 amLooking for joy during a Collins match is a lot like looking for a vegan dish on the menu while dining at a steakhouse.meganfernandez wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 1:25 am Not enjoying this Mertens-Collins match, for some reason.

It's been proven many, many times to be significantly healthier for the planet and for the well-being of the individual person than meat - and with enormously less cruelty.
In the end, I simply prefer to respect animals than to torture and/or exploit them.

It's entirely unpredictable as each player alternates between Jekyll and Hyde... and you never know how long they'll be playing well or poorly - maybe 5 minutes, maybe 30 minutes...
This is a total toss-up.

Re: '22 AO Day 8 OoP & Discussion
Not only is Collins really sad looking on court, there is one voice off court that is rooting for her that really makes it hard not to hope she loses.

Re: '22 AO Day 8 OoP & Discussion
Oof, Mertens double-faulted on match point to lose. She was down 15-40 in the game and at 30-40, hit an incredible 2nd serve to get to deuce. Then that double... So sad! Collins into the quarterfinal, somehow.

Re: '22 AO Day 8 OoP & Discussion
Yeah - that second serve on the 2nd match point was great - and incredibly gutsy. Unfortunately, I think it also led to the double fault that ended the match. As she set up for that final second serve, she was very likely thinking about the great second serve that she had just hit, and debating with herself whether she should go for it again. I think that internal psychological debate unsettled her and took some focus away.
Collins spoke after the match about the people in her 'box' encouraging her and firing her up... but to me, it seemed the opposite - Collins was constantly yelling at her 'box', seemingly encouraging them to be more animated.
Collins and Andy Murray are the only two players I can think of who fire their 'box' up more than their 'box' fires them up.
