2024 Australian Open semifinal: Zheng vs. Yastremska

[PhiEaglesfan712]

Who wins this semifinal and in how many sets?

 

[tented]

Their head-to-head doesn’t tell us anything …

 

[PhiEaglesfan712]

Zheng in 2. She's probably had the easiest path to the final in a long time.

 

[tossip]

Zheng is the finalist from that semi.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

After her QF final Zheng will be in the Top 10 when the new rankings come out on Monday
BTW since getting dumped by Wim Fissette Zheng is 15-3, 1 title 1 final and now she is in her maiden SF.
Love her or Hate her you have to give credit to Dayana coming through Quaifers and making the SF
I would not dismiss Dayana in this contest, she is a great returner and a good striker of the ball
Zheng at times 'over thinks' in matches, even though I like the way she plays
I feel this match will go down to the wire
Good luck ladies!

Zheng in 2. She's probably had the easiest path to the final in a long time.

Agreed. That’s how I voted too.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Easiest path to the final?
I find that offensive quite frankly?
Is it Zheng or Dayana for that matter, if the top seeds in their draw got defeated? I dont think so
You can only play what is in front of you
Zheng needed 3 sets in her QF, as I posted she 'over thinks' at times
Dayana took care of Linda and exposed her lack of movement, which is an area of her game that needs attention, I posted that before, she needs to hit the gym, too chunky no I am not body shaming, just stating facts.
I will be surprised if Zheng has her own way in this match up, as Dayana has played 8 matches coming through qualifers and won.
Dayana is playing tough solid tennis at present

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay both ladies coming out to the court now

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Dayana to serve first

 

[tossip]

Dayna got the break

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Dayana breaks wonderful ball striking, seeing the ball well, she is going after the ball as well

 

[tossip]

She might make an Emmalike run.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hmm not a game you are after when you just broke serve?
Zheng with 3 BPs

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

She might make an Emmalike run.

Yep commies were saying that earlier today

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Dayana has brought this game back to deuce
Zheng fhand can go off she needs to control

 

[kskate2]

She might make an Emmalike run.

I don't see that happening again. Even if she gets to the final. Saba will not be denied this time. Coco stole her USO title, she's not letting that happen here.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

2 DFs from Dayana and she gifts the break back to Zheng

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Better hold from Dayana though I feel she needs to find some 'middle game' she dosent need to go for shots down the line when they are not on

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good save from Zheng being down love 30

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay I need some sleep I have been watching mens doubles and ladies doubles SF today as well as the 1st Ladies semi
Enjoy the rest of the tennis everyone!
