Australian Open 2022 [Women] - Grand Slam

Madison is like a 'woman on a mission' breaks Paula in her opening service game of the 2nd set
Paula breaks straight back.Early in the 2nd set this has become a 'break a thon'....Maddison breaks again.
Madison holds serve and leads 3-1 2nd set
Badosa looks done to me,her legs look tired and weary and her serve has gone
Madison 4-1 2nd set
Madison playing first strike tennis,this is the best match I have seen Madison play in a long,long time
Madison 5-1 2nd set

Keys 1st set 63 over Badosa
Impressed with the Keys bhand which has been her weaker side in her game

Wow, she never let up! I'm surprised it was straights. Good on Madison!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Madison Keys dominates No 8 Paula Badosa 63 61 to reach the q/finals
Keys extends her winning streak to 10
She awaits the winner of Azarenka/Krejcikova.
Well done Madison!
Somewhere AP has a Big Smile on his face

Keys cleverly put a white T-shirt over her dress, as they are wearing the same one. Everyone is getting pretty sick of that dress by now. Or at least I am.

Who is left that isn’t wearing that horrid thing? Babs & Ash? I can’t think of anyone else, maybe Cornet

I don't dislike it as a dress, but if Nike is going to sponsor so many women, they need at least 3 color versions.

As I expected Krejickova came out strong aka like Madison Keys in the first set,playing up the middle,Vika's 1st serve went missing,which did not help her cause

Krejcikova 1st set 62

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Azarenka is having a MTO early in the 2nd set ,complaining about 'tightness in her neck"
Very hot conditions in Melbourne park today.Meanwhile Sakkari and Pegula match has started on Margaret Court Arena again who scheduled 2 women's matches at the same time need to be Sacked

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Play has resumed...Barbora has a early break in the 2nd set
5 games in a row from Barbora and she consolidates the break 2-0
Great placement and serving from Barbora,Vika a usually solid returner has found to be wanting on her serve.

 

[Moxie]

Azarenka is really rubbing her neck. I thought this would be a good match. Shame if it comes down to injury.

Yes,still Barbora came out like a women possessed in the first set,aka like Madison Keys

 

[Moxie]

Back on serve...we shall see.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well played Vika she gets the break back,in the 2nd set...
Sakkari v Pegula like a tug of war Pegula gets the break back leads 4-3 1st set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That didn't last long Vika broken?

 

[Moxie]

My favorites are not prevailing in the 2 matches. I just switched over to Sakkari.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Krejcikova leads 2nd set 4-2
Pegula serving for the 1st set against Sakkari 5-4

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

B.Krejcikova serving for the match 5-2...won the 1st set 62

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jessica Pegula gets broken while serving for the 1st set 5-4
Back on serve 5 all

 

[Moxie]

Sakkari back in it at 5-5. Good break.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done to Barbora Krejcikova a well played match,as I expected this would be a tough 'match up' for Azarenka.
Krejcikova d Azarenka 62 62!
Krejcikova will play Madison Keys next in the q/finals
