Fed Cup first round match between Kiki Mladenovic and Karolina Pliskova was HUGE!
It took 3 hours and 48 minutes and finally Karlina won 63, 46, 16-14. Tough loss for the French!
And now it’s Petra Kivitova vs Caroline Garcia.
Nny, I’m not all that interested in tennis right now, either. But it has been a relief watching today — not that I can completely forget and get complacent and say oh well, everything will be okay. It’s a waking nightmare to have the Orange Potus.
Amelie Mauresmo decides to leave her job as Fed Cup captain. She is pregnant with a second child due in April.

“There have been many moments in our lives that gave us joy, happiness and excitement, on the court and in our private life,” Flavia said in her post. “But the moment that we learned we would become parents stands uniquely above the rest.”
Is anyone else having trouble getting on the site?
Every time I post I’ve been in moderation!
Nativenewyorker ive been struggling for days to get on this site, i was wondering whether i was the only one ….
Alison,
Thanks for the heads up! ?
So I am not the only one!
My posts are coming up in moderation,
Why?
Congrats to Flavia and Fabio, im sure the little one will be gorgeous, and they will be great parents 😉
RC Just saw your pictures of Petra, what a stunner, and those heels ….
She’s really glamorized herself, huh. 🙂
Can’t wait for WTA 2017. Hope I’m not still being moderated in 2017 ?
Me too!
LOL
Ive never had any trouble when it comes to been moderated, i had alot of trouble getting on this site a few days ago though ….
Ricky’s too nice admit I violated something…I’ve been angry and depressed post presidential election and as the cabinet of cronies unfolds. But I’m balancing things out — acceptance would be too strong a word.
I haven’t been moderated either, so I don’t know why it’s happening now. It was at the same time that I could not get on the site for a few days.
I am not sure what is going wrong.
Oh no…Petra Kvitova.
I woke up to see this news:
http://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/38379952
There more news to come from BBC but a knife attack at home sounds frightening!
Petra had already been struggling with a foot injury and had to withdraw from Hopman Cup but now a knife attack? at home? I’m waiting to hear more…what happened exactly and where was she injured, how bad, who did it….
From the Guardian:
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/dec/20/petra-kvitova-attacked-intruder-home-czech-republic-tennis
And this of course coming in as I read about the Berlin Christmas market attack and Ambassador from Russia shot dead in Ankara.
From Petra herself:
In a statement on her Facebook page, Kvitova said: “Today I was attacked in my apartment by an individual with a knife. In my attempt to defend myself, I was badly injured on my left hand. I am shaken, but fortunate to be alive. The injury is severe and I will need to see specialists, but if you know anything about me I am strong and I will fight this.”
Her left hand!!! I feel sick about this. I love Petra Kvitova! All my love and best wishes for her, dear Petra.
That’s terrifying. A home invasion. Poor Petra….

The man wanted money and is still on the run.
Lucie Safarova: “It’s horrible,” Safarova told Czech public radio. “Things like that are shocking to all of us. It can happen to anyone of us. That’s really terrible.”
Ben Rothenburg is all over it…

sickening… but Petra is a trooper and a fighter.
In Czech news – google translation…

Just finding out about @Petra_Kvitova and the awful stabbing and injury to her hand- pulling for you Petra, všichni držíme palce!!! Xoxo
terrible news about petra rc. her left hand injured! i’m praying she gets best possible treatment and care as i love her and want her back playing asap.
so horrible to have to fight someone off in her own home. must have been very traumatising…
Thanks for your response, amy. Such a nightmare but she’s handling it with courage — or at least sounding like it. Yeah it’s her left hand – she’ll need surgery. There goes 2017 for her….and she had just got her health back at the end of 2016 after having mono in 2015.
yes rc i just heard on the bbc she will need ‘career saving surgery’ – that sounds very scary. ie they might not be able to fix it. let’s hope that the bbc report was overstating it. feel very sad for petra right now and really really hope she can pull through.
she is very courageous…
i think you know already that she is one of my very favourite tennis players…
me too…..one of my very favorites….? I hope she will be alright in time. She said she would fight.
OMG Just heard about Petra thats just horrible, i just cant believe what goes on in peoples minds, some people just begar belief, lock this person up and throw away the key, hope she recovers, this is a really sad day 🙁
On a happier note congrats to Vika and partner, on the arrival of their little bambino 😉
Petra Kvitova will be realeased from hospital on Friday. She will take part in a very brief press briefing.
