I hope Osaka is watching this match Coco v Elise, this is how you take Elise off the court, though in order to do that you have to be Fit for starters, something that Osaka at present is not.
Osaka needs time to catch up and she will get there by playing more tourneys.She seems to be mentally okay for now because that is her Achilles heel.I hope she keeps it together all season long enough to boost her ranking.

Well after Miami she will go to the clay, clay has never been a surface she has done well on, her footwork for starters, lets see how many clay tournaments she enters, also grass another surface she has not fared well on in the pass, I still feel she needs to have more of a 'transition' game to the net, a lot of players bring her forward and get the error from her.

no matter who her coach is, she is still a headcase. She had complete control of this match and just became an UFE machine in the 2nd.

Maria came back in the 3rd set from being a break down and finally won the match in 3 sets 62 36 63
Once a Head Case Always a Head Case:) though she said she likes Witt he is laid back and they get on well
It is Maria's 3rd consecutive QF at IW

I saw her looking at the coach again.I hope she really works on her confidence because time is running out and it's now or never.

Windy and cooler conditions at IW today
In the 1st QF
Kostyuk d Potapova 60 75, Potapova not handling the windy conditions, her return game was sub par, needed to adjust her game to the conditions, improved in the 2nd set., Marta upped her level and won
Marta is into her first WTA1000 SF.

Iga wins via retirement 64 1-0 over Wozniacki, Caroline had a bad infected toe and had to have it drained before her match with Kerber
Well played Caroline at IW, see you in Miami!
