2020 USO QF: Naomi Osaka vs. Shelby Rogers

Who wins?

Impressed by both players in their previous wins.
Osaka never faced a BP on her serve and her movement has improved,with her hammy still bandaged
Rogers with her do or die attitude,saving 4MPs to defeat Kvitova.
I feel the experience of Osaka will prevail and win in straight sets.

Osaka in 2.

Thanks for creating the poll!

Osaka in straight sets.

She hasn’t been overtaxed so far and she’s relaxed just enough.

Cliffe we dont need a history of Osaka from the age of 3 years old....Shut Up and just concentrate on the match at hand and the points.

Funny that we must have the same commentary, a world away. I always assumed we heard different people.

The USO I always get the ESPN coverage....I usually mute Chrissy Stubbs and Cliffe

I wish they would use Chandra Rubin more and I dont mind Mary Jo Fernandez

So Osaka has never beaten Rogers?

That was awhile ago and on clay.Osaka's worst surface

 

[Jelenafan]

Osaka was fairly relentless to get that first service break.

I did hear that. They were laughing that she was trying to make herself the underdog due to h2h.

Osaka was fairly relentless to get that first service break.

Turned my head for a second, and Naomi was up the break.

 

[Jelenafan]

Whoaa! Shelby with some brutal returns broke back....

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I feel Rogers has to try to bring Osaka forward more often,get her out of her comfort zone,she has done this and won the point

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Osaka 5-3 and will serve for the 1st set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Osaka your 2nd serve is getting hammered

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Osaka your 2nd serve is getting hammered

They say her toss is going a bit to the left, which might be the leg? In fairness, I don't think we've seen much effect of the hamstring the whole of the USO, but it doesn't mean that it's not a factor.

She didn not face a BP on her serve when she played Arnett,her serve was on song,right about the ball toss,though she seems to be pushing off okay when serving.

Every player should enrol at the Serena Williams Ball Toss Academy......

As I said, I don't think there's any evidence of problem with the hamstring. A hitch on a ball toss can just be the day, too.
