2015 US Open QF: Simona Halep vs. Victoria Azarenka

[Kirijax]

No. 2 Simona Halep (Romania) vs. No. 20 Victoria Azarenka (Belarus)

Head-to-Head: Azarenka leads 2-0. Both of their meetings were back in 2012. Azarenka won both easily in straight sets.

Azarenka is in her 4th straight US Open quarterfinal. Halep is in her first.

Who will win this one?

 

[tossip]

Halep will put up a fight and will send Zenga and her passe back to russia..

I think Vika wins, but it won't be easy. I'm voting Vika in three.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I will go with Halep. Even though her match with Sabine was awful, I was impressed with how she fought through it and prevailed.

 

[Kirijax]

I'm going with all heart here. I want Halep to win. In any way possible. I cannot stand Azarenka and I want her, her ridiculous hoots, her condescending attitude to umpires, everything out. Go Halep.

 

[golds girl]

Vika in 2. I think Halep has aches and pains.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

If you had seen Halep playing against Sabine, you will realize that she is not in any reasonable form. Vika did not have an easy time against Lepchenko either. However, Vika is on an upswing whereas Simona is on a downswing in terms of recent trends in form.

So, I will say Vika in three.

 

[AnonymousFan]

Vika in 3

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Halep is fine. I think she and Vika will go three. I think anyone who plays Sabine is going to look bad because once that mess just overflows, it tends to reach all aspects of the court.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I think this will be a war of attrition this match.

 

[herios]

Hai Simona!!!!! (Hai = go in Romanian)

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I am all for a Simona victory

Yay! Simona takes the first set! Come on Simona take set #2.

 

[tossip]

Zenka took her bag again to read notes.....this is ridiculous..

 

[10isfan]

If Vika loses, Serena will have an easy path to the title. She did not want to see Petra or Vika in the final. Nobody else could challenge her.

 

[tossip]

Halep is too consistent...

 

[tossip]

If Vika loses, Serena will have an easy path to the title. She did not want to see Petra or Vika in the final. Nobody else could challenge her.

17-3 and 6-1:lolz:

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I don't think Serena cares at this point. She is just two matches away, and I think she will throw everything she has to make this happen regardless of who is on the other side.

 

[Kirijax]

Tried to watch it but couldn't. The Owl's hoot has to be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. Hope Halep can send this Hooter packing but looks like we may be going to a third set.
