Bit worried how it got quite tight at the end, did Marin's intensity drop or did SJH improve her game. For 1,5 sets she was just superior to her opponent.
Exactly what I hate about her. All those little under-handed tactical ploys, such as this and the way she makes opoonents wait for ages when they are on a streak of points. Not too sure if she has any control over her ridiculous screaming at this point, it might have become a personality disorder by now.
Well i like my ear drums intact, also the tone is really annoying for me. Like someone dragging their nails on a chalkboard, only worse.
That is up to umpire to notice and react if needed. I think all WS players behave badly, for example when opponent wants shuttlecock changed they typically refuse. In men's singles there is no such behaviour.
That is a honest question. I knew a Korean player beat Cheng, but I can't remember which Korean player.
Mia Audina measured up to racket skill but physical attribute way bellow Caro. You can hate her all you want, but skill measured.
I think it's quite normal when a player with a huge lead takes his/her foot off the gas pedal. Marin must have been confident enough to know she could close SJH out.
