@Khathelhene @MattyProfits He's a big fan. I know his mom.

Warning to Zheng Qinwen.

The tennis celebration police will find you, like they did Alex Eala. :)

[CallingItAllOut @bobhl]

@GluckGlucky Thanks for being a loyal fan even when she's struggling! Great to have you on board.

[CallingItAllOut @bobhl]

@crossiiini Be careful the sports celebration police are watching you. A player can only celebrate as they see fit.

@early_boiii huwag mo kalimutan shes the reigning Birmingham Grand Slam champ

[CallingItAllOut @bobhl]

@Antneezy1 @crossiiini Yup. this was a sarcastic dig against tennis gatekeepers who kept saying players shouldn't be emotional when they win.

@gveurselfgrace Mahirap basahin serve ni Noskova. She tosses the ball in the same place. And her placement is very good. To beat Noskova you have to hold your serve and then drag her into rallies where her error rate increases. She's very solid.

@naolitos I'd be interested to figure out if Alex plays better against repeat opponents. Seems to be case, except Jovic.

@istepbyistep Does it reset to 1

[CallingItAllOut @bobhl]

@islandtennisace Yes, these are the types of players where you need your service to hold. So Alex still needs the endurance/consistency.

She also had more difficulty reading Noskova's serve, which compromised her return game and allowed Noskova lots of plus ones.

@NotLite_03 maybe she will. maybe she won't. that's what makes sports more interesting.

but as long as she continues her progression and avoids injury, she probably will.

@MessMinchin3 That's @Manila_Times BIR reporter. Yun lang naiintindihan.

[CallingItAllOut @bobhl]

@islandtennisace Those first serves were also slower than R1 and R2.

[CallingItAllOut @bobhl]

@naolitos who has the movement and long return to frustrate her?

[CallingItAllOut @bobhl]

@lerreyn bawal daw eto sabi ng gatekeepers

[CallingItAllOut @bobhl]

I thought you can't do this, according to the racist gatekeepers.

[CallingItAllOut @bobhl]

@istepbyistep looks tired.

[CallingItAllOut @bobhl]

@NoliEala It's not a puzzle.

[CallingItAllOut @bobhl]

@Reach2Heaven @josemorgado She needs to maintain her serve. Her serve speed and first serve percentage has been dropping as the tournament went on. Without the serve she can't control points on her own game as well.

[CallingItAllOut @bobhl]

@islandtennisace Yes, as long as she keeps getting stronger, she'll be able to maintain the serve through a tournament.
