Loses in the first round of Indian Wells (well technically 2nd round, received a bye in the first) in straight sets to world number 100 Aliaksandra Sasnovich 6-2, 6-4.
Stick with me folks.  |  |

You got it wrong Dr P you was sweet on Van Uytvanck and Emma won.  |
I have no idea what that means.
But if you are suggesting I thought Emma was going to lose, then you are lying again. I had no opinion on who would win or lose, only how hard the game would be for her. I said “should” she lose then it will be worse for her as most people (including you) had never heard of her before and she is a tough opponent.
But if that is all that needs to be said to be logged as a “prediction of victory” in Trampie world… then “You was sweet on Garcia, let’s see who wins”.
Cocked up there didn’t you…  | |

Again, use your words or are you trolling on yet another tennis thread like your chums because you are jealous of someone’s knowledge on a subject?
There is nothing to “beep beep” about despite the usual few desperately trying to find something.
I made zero prediction on who would win, only that it would be a tough match against a player most had never heard of.
Exactly what did I get wrong?
Thanks in advance. | |

I made three predictions regarding Raducanu’s progress in this years Wimbledon.
1) I said she would play Wimbledon despite people suggesting it was a doubt. (Proven correct)
2) She cannot make it past the quarters. (Still unknown)
3) She has a tough first round against a grass specialist. (Proven correct)
Anyone think I’m wrong on the only prediction yet to be proven correct?
No point in coming back after the fact of course and retrospective gloating will not be accepted as valid. Anyone brave enough? | |

Indeed, because you won’t win.
When you come to the table with nonsense you are at an immediate disadvantage.
Wise man. | |

Raducanu drawn against Belgian, Alison Van Uytvanck.
A horrible draw for her. Although only just in the top 50, Van Uytvanck is a solid grass player and a proper pro. Powerful, great hands and movement. A no nonsense player that won’t choke under the spotlight of the media presence there.
I actually wouldn’t be overly surprised if she pulls out late now after seeing the draw. She presents a serious hurdle and it’s someone the casual fan has probably never heard of before which makes any defeat seem even worse should she go on and lose. |  | | |

I love the fact the usual suspects go all coy when confronted to come forward with specifics.
Wouldn’t be a proper Swans Independent tennis thread without the usual mob crying that I got another thing right though would it? 
When you get brave enough to show me specifically what you claim I got wrong, I’ll be here.
In the meantime, thanks for your participation in my favourite threads of the year. The Dr P tennis threads. Brought more tears to trolls than IP tracking devices  | |

What was wrong about that?
Fair play to Emma for coming through that match, but she would have been far from happy when the draw came out |  | | |

Indeed, the usual folk upset at correct statements on a tennis thread shock, horror..
I can always tell if my thoughts are accurate by how many of the usual suspects are frothing at the mouth on these threads. Fair to say I’m doing well once more.. | |

Raducanu beat Van Uytvanck in straight sets last year. |
That was on a hard court, Van Uytvanck’s worst surface and Raducanu’s best surface.
Van Uytvanck has a 51% career win record on hard and 60% win record on grass.
On grass was always going to be a tougher proposition. Which it was of course, she was trailing at the mid point of both sets breaking late on in both to take them. Quite the struggle for a top 10 player and Grand Slam champ vs someone most had never heard of.
It was the type of battle many of us in the know expected. It didn’t disappoint. | |

Van Uytvanck was #1 seed in that tournament, Emma had just got inside the top 200 in the World. | |

No, you are the one that made the statement, not the point.
There was no point there, hence you are struggling to state one when challenged. | |
