Claes and Jones both gained a few extra lbs...a never thought Claes is very professional in terms of preparation and focus. Wonder if Sponcil will switch to Alix as soon as April retires Yikes. Some people can work just as hard as anyone else, yet not show it due to their body type. Probably unfair to Jones and Claes unless you are absolutely sure on that claim. Also with a lot of female athletes the ones in the best shape have a little more weight because, due to pressures relatively unique to female athletes, many tend to emphasize weight loss at the expense of muscle gain. Lots of stuff about this in tennis, but generally in sports where everyone is going to be judging female players on their appearance, there tends to be a lot of undernourished athletes.

I love how aggressively Kelly is playing this second set. This should be her default

The A-Team typically drops on Sponcil when she sis hitting as don’t respect her swing. But, if they serve Sponcil, Alix continually runs up to “block” allowing Claes to go over n 2. Why not mix it up n serve Sponcil start to run up n stop and play D in the same position you would be in when they drop I no sponcil thus limiting Claes over in 2??? Not every time but mix it up, Claes is going on 2 almost everytime with Alix flat footed at the net.

Callahan is playing with so much confidence. Really like what Ive seen from those two. Brandie/Sara need to get it together. Game 1 not even close

Callahan/Jones look strong right now. Hughes and Wilkerson look disinterested.

Checked out the scoring/brackets and can’t believe Wilkerson and Hughes are on the verge of being eliminated so early.
Going to log in and watch the rest of the match now.

Callahan/Jones look strong right now. Hughes and Wilkerson look disinterested. Mati just came out and said "this team is a mess right now" then went on to criticize the mental approach of that team. Very blunt, not mean, but accurate. Callahan/Jones arent quite good enough to blow them out, but a top team would have done it by now. This is good opportunity for Hughes/Wilkerson to sort out their issues but they arent doing it

I know we've been talking about it for the last few weeks, but these sets are awful.

Just like that Hughes/Wilkerson pushing it to tiebreak. They were down 19-20 before.

Crissy Jones!! Playing huge at the net right now! For a player with no jump, she has great block timing. Callahan is going to regret that one over
