GDT: Eugenie Bouchard vs Ana Ivanovic

[FrontierPsyCHiatrist*]

Ivanovic is so sexy ... jeez

Her chin is perfect!

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

I love tennis, but I'm 100% behind the people whining over the obsessive coverage around Eugenie Bouchard.

She hasn't even cracked the WTA's top 10 and people are celebrating her like she's the second coming of Graff. Any average tennis fan know how unstable the women's rankings have been over the past few years, she could be fluking her heart out for all we know, give her some time. Ain't like she's some sort of tennis superstar, she's pretty much a nobody for the moment on the scene and hyping people that way has a tendency to get on my nerves.

Also people claiming the she gets all the attention for being young are sorta naive, a lot of woman peak early in their tennis career.

Lol. You don't know what your talking about.

The progression of this girl is spectacular. She wasn't named Canadian female athlete of the year for being pretty. When is the last time you saw a Canadian tennis player with her potential? She's a couple wins away from making history.

But... I thought... 'No babes threads' on HFB?

This is strictly a tennis homer thread. Local athlete does good. That they both have hawtness is just coincidental.

 

[Tyrus]

People have pushing for Raonic for 3-4 years now, it wouldn't surprise me if at the end of this season, Bouchard as an higher ranking than Milos....

Bouchard could break the WTA's top 6 and in its current state it would be a lesser achievement than Milos' 11th spot.

I'm not trying to downplay her achievement, she might or might end up being the greatest canadian playing in the WTA in history and that's really good for her, but that's also not much of an actual achievement in the grand scheme of things. The current WTA is a mess, spots are up for grabs and we've seen a lot of rookies tearing up the rankings over the past few years.

I mean, any fans of Dubois left? Yeah..

All Milos has done is to disappoint since climbing up the ATP ladder. Please forgive me for hoping that Bouchard might achieve more success and continues the recent trend of putting Canadian tennis on the map.

EDIT: Talk to me when Dubois reaches top 20 or close. She's never ranked higher than 87.

Tonight is special Tennis Heritage Night, so these 2 players will be sporting throwback outfits like the one seen here:

I would only stop watching if they force them to play with those awful wooden rackets.


EDIT: haha, I just got beat to it.

Dubois was once regarded as prospect with just as much future as Bouchard, lots of potential, some decent finish early in her career. She got injured a couple times and plateaued a lot while Bouchard is currently bubbling, a lot of things can happen in the spawn of 1 or 2 years, especially in current WTA.

Also how is Raonic disappointing? He's the youngest player hanging around what is highly considered to be one of most solid top 10 (or balanced, if you like to be technical) that the ATP has had in the last twenty years. Meanwhile Bouchard is piercing through a ranking that has been as solid as papiermaché for quite a while now and she's "putting Canadian tennis on the map"? Please.

Genie is awesome.

Genie is awesome.

**** it I'm feeling tired to go out anyway. Might as well watch this with my HF bros. Go Ana!

 

[Mrb1p]

I love tennis. Females tennis though? Lol. People watch that for the girls and tonight you have two beautiful ones.

Well, I like Tennis and I like babes.

But... I thought... 'No babes threads' on HFB?

Settle down, old man. This one is for me, why don't you go hit on Celine Dion or something ?

Lol. You don't know what your talking about.

Raonic ?

 

[ECWHSWI]

People whining about Tennis, who's a gentleman and scholar (Fok off McEnroe) sports are the nutcracko that love boxing and MMA.

boring.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Raonic ?

I want to see Raonic round out his game a lot more before I can declare he has the potential to move into top 5. He's a serve & volley player through and through, and that won't get you any higher than he currently is. But I have never been a fan of power game in tennis and this might be clouding my judgement. I find it boring to watch and very uni-dimensional.

Now, this isn't to say I don't cheer for him. I like his dedication to tennis Canada and I love the fact that he stands behind this country. Glad we won't have another Rusedski on our hands.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Li vs Penn ? WTF TSN RDS

edit : guys with short shorts

 

[Moen is Gone]

Li vs Penn ? WTF TSN RDS

Ivanovic vs Bouchard is next on the same court. It won't be long

It could be worse

 

[Price My Man Crush]

Female tennis is so ****ing boring. Haven't watched for years. I only watch it for Eugénie from time to time

And I like Eugénie. Funny how everyone now knows everything about tennis.

 

[Price My Man Crush]

Haven't watched important matches*

Sorry, can't edit.

Who cares? What a party pooper, jeeze. Hot young quebec chick makes it as high as any other canadian women in history. Can we enjoy it without having some debbie downer spew nonsense ?

 

[GoodKiwi]

Nice even tan.

 

[MXD]

If anything, Genie is giving me a reason to have an interest in Females tennis for the first time since Justine Henin's retirement.

I've always liked women tennis because the exchanges last longer. When I first started liking it was when Alexandra Sanchez Vicario was around. She was like a less talented female version of Nadal. Fun times.
