I think the weather had something to do with this. Since earlier Chanda was complaining about the wind and the elevation. This is just a day that is like totally frustrating for me. I was waiting for Kim and Lindsay to take the court and now this bad news too. I think the long delay had a little something to do with it.
It seems like everyone was rushed onto the court to complete some matches before the next rain came.. and that kinda played onthe players minds.
Imagine playing and still thinking about the next two matches you have to play in the day and not knowing who your opponent will be. This must have been frustrating, there was little time to be mentally prepared for this moment. That is why so many top players just said fuck it....especially when it's so close to IW and Miami ...I don't blame them.....I guess that Serena made a good choice, eventhough she isn't playing IW.
