Saba has been understandably shaky this clay season,and has a lot to defend too.This match is a surprise for me,I have never heard of this girl .She is really going toe to toe with Saba..taking a set from no.2 is wonderful.
Saba is under immense pressure. If she doesn't defend this title and Coco goes further than her, she will lose her #2 spot. She does not want to go into RG w/ the possibility of facing Iga before the finals.

Saba's points have already come off, so at present Coco has moved past her, unless she Saba can make the final, though Coco isnt playing well at present to me

Robin will have to play the best game on serve to hold off Saba. I fully expect Saba to swing for the fences on every single return to force the break

Robin might lose but she has announced herself to the tennis world.She has a game to trouble most top twenty players.I hope she capitalizes on this experience.

Yes there's gonna be some drama.Collins
can get into Saba's face easily.
Did you see what she said to a fan that was shouting out in her match, The Banshee gave that fan a 'mouthful' and said you should come out and do what I do" Banshee was in no mood today, actually thinking about it Good on Her !

No I didn't ..but yes she can do whatever she wants on her way out.I want her to give some umpires and players the middle finger.She can do that to Pliskova,Kostyuk, Halep and Cirstea.She can hug Nouni for me..

Happy 17th Birthday today to Mirra Andreeva!

Iga was ruthless 61 60 over Sorribes Tormo
Ons chalks up another win over a very erratic Ostapenko 60 64, cool handshake at the net :)
Haddad Maia in a straight sets win over Sakkari 64 64
