whats the difference between sitting down at a change of ends for an extra 30 seconds and bouncing the ball before serving for 30 seconds? If 30 bonces are allowed why not 50 etc?

I was surprised by that Broady lob winner. Her lobs are typically terrible. That one was inspired.

I'd say quite a bit.

I'd call bouncing the ball 30 times between points rather more match disruptive ( and pretty annoying to many folk ) than taking an extra 30 seconds before beginning a game.

There are a few things in tennis that are allowed / put up with that I'm sure many folk don't like so are just saying.

Anyway, as I said, she's fortunately not having such a bouncy day.

Yes, she's only bouncing it twice or so...

I saw her a few years back and didn't remember any long ball-bouncing then either but thought she might have added some since...

Wish the commentator could say her name right though....

Much better return game from Naomi to break. Not been impressed by her returning in most of the games.

Her return of serve has always been pretty weak (for various technical reasons). Probably the weakest part of her game.

Which is good - gives her and Fitzy something to work on and room for more progress smile
