It wasn't a great shot by Zverev - Ruusuvuori absolutely gave him that shot. I'm watching the match and I couldn't believe that Ruusuvuori blew that point. The point was his for the easy taking. And it was break point!
Ruusuvuori had 2 other break points in that game, and didn't convert. If he loses this match, he's got only himself to blame.

3-6, 6-4, 7-5 win for Pegula over Potapova. Nothing spectacular but she's the winner.

I guess Emil only has himself to blame as he lost the match. He did however play a pretty tough match to take Zverev to 3 sets . Yeah he couldn't get it done in the end, but credit that to Sascha for his play. All in all it was a really good match.

Less than one week in this forum, and your jinxing powers are already pretty good
Pegula. I don't like her game. It does nothing for me. But she shows up, and may be about time to give her credit for fighting all points. So, will never be a fan, but respect I will give her.

Pegula is that player who beats the opponents she is expected to beat. It may not look great every time, but she seems to always make at least the SF's by beating players she is supposed to beat and then lose to Sabanlenka or Iga.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 11:25 pmLess than one week in this forum, and your jinxing powers are already pretty good

Re: ATP M1000 WTA 1000 BNP Paribas Open 3/8 - 3/19 2023
The chair umpire for Gauff - Noskova, Julie Kjendlie, entertained us right off the bat while having a tough time with the coin toss...
She asks the token coin toss guest (who for some reason has brought his tennis racquet with him) who he would like to ask to choose heads or tails.
He says “I guess Coco. Coco, do you want heads or tails?”
Gauff says “Heads.”
Guest turns to Julie (chair umpire) and holds his hand out for the coin to toss.
Julie says “Oh, I took it. I said I was going to hold on to it.”
Julie checks both her pants pockets, finds a coin.
Julie says “Sh*t, wrong coin. I swore. Not good.”
Julie finds the proper coin, gives it to the guest.
Guest flips it.
Julie says “Ok... It’s tails.”
Julie turns to Gauff to see if she elects to serve or receive.
Gauff says “Um, I picked heads.”
Julie turns to Noskova
“Ok, Linda, what do you choose?”
Apparently the players are not the only nervous people before a match...
