That is the best match Emma Raducanu has played in a long time.

The 2nd best match btw she played well yesterday, Emma moves well on the clay lets see how she goes against Iga tomorrow the defending champion

The 2nd best match btw she played well yesterday, Emma moves well on the clay lets see how she goes against Iga tomorrow the defending champion

It'll be similar to a match they had here 2 years ago. Emma will make some strides, but in the end, Iga will be too consistent and strong to surrender.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am liking the adjustments that Zheng has made in her match against Kostyuk into the 3rd set now
Zheng serving for the match 5-4

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

For the Love Of God take one Zheng!
Hell how many SPs did you need?
Broken and back on serve 5all in the 3rd set. I hexed Fils when he served for the match in Barcelona earlier.I wont say another word till the end of this match

 

[kskate2]

Girl, she completly dumped the match. I don't see a way back from this. She will be lucky to get it to a TB

Indeed Marta saved 5 MPs

 

[kskate2]

That's what she should have done on MP. Come to net. Instead, she was too passive and sat back rallying from the baseline

 

[kskate2]

she hasn't done much since making that AO final. A match like this would really help her confidence if she hang tough

 

[kskate2]

what a Djokosmash

 

[kskate2]

told you she wouldn't get to the TB

 

[kskate2]

Dang it Zheng! I needed u to dismiss Marta "the Ukranian drama queen" who always whines and fusses about the rain, her racquet, this serve, my opponent is just better than me, you name it.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well this loss will 'sting' Zheng had enough MPs (5) to win the match, a hard lesson learnt going forward

[MargaretMcAleer]

Swiatek d Raducanu 76(2) 63 Emma played well until the TB, good defense on the clay as well
It is soo hard for a player to defeat Iga when she wins the 1st set, still a good showing from Emma in the 2nd set
Iga is 10-0 in Stuttgart and will play Rybakina in the SF
