Sara can't live without tennis. She accepts everything, all defeats and sometimes still some satisfaction, without problems. Players who love being on courts and fight and feel good in this way, just this. Respect. Greetings from Rome Italy

[@sylvainhyais8166]

Okay, she really knows how to play on clay ,she is a fighter , but her screaming is unbearable

[@DogLover-qt7gj]

Sara is one of those players that get a lot of undue hate because she doesn't play what most consider classic or textbook tennis. But I respect Sara, at 5'5 she figured out a way to work with what she has. Outside the hall of fame doubles career remember in singles she made the top 5 in the world and reached a grand slam final. That's better than what 80% of players will ever achieve, yes including those with great serves and that play classical tennis.

[@QuietzoneWV]

Not to omit - she tested positive for steroid, came up with dubious explanation, that her grandma dropped her pills in a soup, that Sara ate and was disqualified i believe for 5 or 9 months. Ironically, Wozniacki criticized Sharapova, Halep for banned substances and lost first round match to Errani.

[@DeclanSkinner]

Last time Sara beat Caroline was in 2008! 😱

[@brianwesonga9589]

Sara even pulled off underarm serve😂😂😂😂

Big respect to Sara that she can still play that well even though her serve is such a weak spot in her game. Big win today, congrats!!

[@dominicspiller481]

Errani is dreadful

[@D_SQ]

When these small-stature, not-so-powerful players like Errani, Putintseva, etc. win matches on tour against the higher-ranked players, they are absolutely beautiful matches because the points they win are so beautifully constructed. Unfortunately for them, it is only humanly possible to muster such physically taxing efforts for about two or maybe three matches maximum in a tournament, and then they are knocked off. But I'm happy that they are on tour. Fun players to watch.

[@markuse3472]

Some players grunt, some loud, but others do it apparently for spite, to annoy and distract 😕 others and that's where this Sara fits in, along with Sara Tormo and Sherif (among others) and for that I really don't want them winning much.

[@adamhasideas6813]

Caroline had to be thinking I'm not getting sucked into her game, I'm not getting sucked in! Oh, crap, I can't get out now!!

[@jacksongjohnson]

😂😂😂

[@andreanicolodecandia1201]

No. No shame for Wozniacki. Though the terrible serve, we have to recognize Errani's fighting spirit. Her career results especially on clay speaks clearly. Such a great career with such few natural tennistic qualities. You have my respect, Sara, who now are 37 years old! Ps. Respect for Caroline too, she came back at her age with a chronic disease inside! Esteem!

[@moviefan4life166]

Yeah it is. Errani hasn’t won anything and is ranked 100. She barely won any main draw matches this year. She’s turning 37 this week too. Caro will be disgusted with this result. It’s also another match where she blew a one set lead this year. I don’t see her continuing to play if it’s like this by the end of the year.

[@YouDadu]

​@@moviefan4life166 Errani has a Career Grand Slam with 5 slam titles in doubles. She is also a RG runner up and USO semifinalist in singles, she won 3 fed cups with Italy and has 9 WTA titles in singles and 29 in doubles. If this is nothing to you you'd be named Novak or Serena. Watch your movies, leave tennis alone

[@moviefan4life166]

Youdadu. I agree with what you said. My points as in earlier comments in this thread allude to the fact that Errani is now ranked 100, is turning 37 this week and she has barely won main draw matches this year. When she was in her prime and prior to 2017, as you say, she definitely had a fantastic career. In my opinion, based on the relevant and recent performance of Errani and the bold comments Wozniacki made saying that she can do well against this generation, it seems comical that she can’t even beat Errani who is now ranked 100 and well past her prime. Now if Errani suddenly goes on a tear and wins a lot of matches this year and improves her ranking, that would be quite the achievement mostly because of her age and form since 2016. Her ranking wasn’t been in the top 100 since then, nor has she won more than 1 or two rounds at the French open which is her best slam, in any of the individual years since. She once was formidable on clay and was solid on hard courts too.

[@DavidSchneiderIP]

Thank you, Wozniacki, for not shouting/ grunting each time you hit the ball.

[@carlossanchezsanchez9505]

Errani played through Qualies and got it into the main draw in Indian Wells and here and many more tournaments, she is 36/37 and still so good. Respect and credit to her. Hope she beats Haddad Maia tomorrow. She deserves it!

[@moviefan4life166]

She’s a fighter but she got crushed by Haddad Maia today. Her serve is her greatest weakness and it’s not going to beat a top player. Her toss is a mess. She stopped her toss 3 times in a row against Caro at one point here. How can a player toss so wildly when there was no wind issue at all. It’s such a glaring weakness.

Another epic combat after Errani vs. Tormo

[@patriciabazzi6532]

ppl r forgetting this is wozniackis first match on the red clay since before her retirement, and madrid is probably the hardest clay court with the altitude. shes proven shes top 50 worthy this season already.

[@moviefan4life166]

There’s little positive spin here. She lost to a woman who barely wins main draw matches all year who is turning 37. Caro also lost to a woman ranked 170 in the world at the Australian Open which is her best slam and best surface. Her pushy forehand can’t put a ball away to save her life. She was boastful to say she thinks she’d do very well against this generation. Back in the day her retrieving would keep her in the top 20 most of the time. Now the game is that much more powerful so it’s not working very well. She was always weak on clay and grass so in that regard this is not such a surprise. Beatrice also beat Errani easily today. How anyone can lose to Errani with her 65 mph serving…..

[@patriciabazzi6532]

@@moviefan4life166 such a stupid comment. timofeeva ended up going into the 4th round in that open which is not bar at all, and wozniwcki has proven she can keep up with this generation still making the 4th round at the us open last year in her 3rd tournament back and also QF in indian wells losing to eventual champion swiatek. she only played 1 set before retiring in that match and swiatek said it was her toughest match??!! get a grip

[@moviefan4life166]

Patriciabazz. There no need to go wild. Let’s just see how the year end performance and rankings look in November. Woz didn’t come back to just play, she came back to win big titles and she won’t be satisfied with the results she’s had so far. I hope for her sake she has better results. Being ranked 117 after almost 9 months would disgust her more than satisfy her because she didn’t come back to be ranked outside the top 100. The rankings do reflect performance. She’s performing like a woman ranked outside the top 100 and in my opinion she won’t pick up many points on clay or grass because they are historically her weak surfaces. She will also have those 4r us open points to defend. Look it’s not easy being away for years and having two kids. Not many would even try to come back so I commend her for that.

[@netgodzilla1]

Errani a d Tormo got similar game style. Just return everything and make the opponent return short on their hitting distance

[@daksa2612]

Only Serena and Sharapova knew exactly how to easily crush moonballers. New generations have no clue what to do with those balls. Not saying Caro is a new generation, but she had no answers today.

[@moviefan4life166]

Yesssss. Serena absolutely destroyed Errani without even trying. She had that poor girl running from the second she struck the ball. Even when Errani was top 5, Serena truly crushed her.

[@SjoerdAnnevanderMeer]

[@susankeating8678]

That god awful noise Errani makes does my head in. I’m not a fan of Wozniacki in particular but at least she doesn’t make a ridiculous noise like her opponent. I used to find Sabalenka’s noise extremely irritating but compared to Errani it’s nothing. Lots of players can manage without screaming their head off so why can’t all of them?

[@jacksongjohnson]

[@maciekszymanski8340]

Some people do not know when to quit with dignity and full cart of trophies.

[@moviefan4life166]

I think Errani just loves to compete which isn’t a bad thing at this point in her life. Caro though is likely embarrassing herself with this comeback effort. She doesn’t have the offense of Clijsters who came back from being a mom at a younger age. It must be painful to her pride to be ranked 117 in the world despite having been back for almost 9 months. She is losing to players with very poor rankings like against 170th ranked opponent in the Australian open and the 51st ranked Blonkova in San Diego and both losses were on her best surface hard courts and at her best slam in the first one. Her window has long passed.
