Simona will probably beat Venus but she won't beat Serena in R4

Thought Venus looked decent against Cornet and Buzarnescu

Osaka down a set and a break to Hsieh

Osaka reverting to moonballing?

 

[britbox]

Wow, Osaka breaks back from 40-0 down.

 

[britbox]

Back on serve.

Osaka reverting to moonballing?

I tuned in on TC when she was down 2-4 2nd set, only seen two moonballs and think she lost both points lol

Yeah, I only saw the two to be honest, but as they were on consecutive points thought she was moving to it as some sort of strategy.

Got the bit between her teeth now though. 5-4 up.

Sharapova/Barty looks a good one for tomorrow's viewing. There will be a big partisan crowd for Ash.

Third set!

 

[britbox]

Osaka levels up proceedings. One set apiece!

I love watching Hsieh. She makes Radwanska’s shots look pedestrian. Being able to turn the second set around is a great sign from Osaka.

What do you think of kenin and anisimovas potential?

Osaka wins the third 6-1

Good match.

Hadn't see much of Hsieh before, but agree with @10isfan - smart player, good head.

Zhang up 2-0 in third against Svitolina

Zhang up 2-0 in third against Svitolina

Zhang is having a good tournament. She knocked out Cibby and beat Pliskova Lite. Looks like Svitolina is going to be added to the victim list.

3-3 now

I'm please to see Osaka through, though

 

[Moxie]

Serena looking pretty fab.

Serena is becoming the den-mother of tennis. She consoled her opponent at the net, "Don't cry." Sweet.

3-3 now

Checked out for a couple of hours to go to the movies, I see Elena pulled it off. Keys leading Mertens in the first set.
