A clinical display from Ash defeating one of her best friends on tour 60 62.and defending champion Azarenka,.had no answers in the match,though she kept fighting,Ash displayed her all court variety in the match,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

It must be catching score wise....Krejcikova 1st set 61 over Muguruza.
Tight 2nd set which went to a t.breaker won by Muguruza 76(5)
Off to a final decider,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Krejcikova (9) d Muguruza (8) 61 67(5) 62...Barbora will play Ash Barty in the q/finals.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Petra Kvitova too strong for Ons Jabeur,playing good first strike tennis 61 62!....good Petra turned up on the court today

I saw pieces of that match and the H2H should be 5-0. Jess was leading 4-1 in the first and 5-1 in the 2nd. She lost 5 games in a row in both sets. Very strange match. But good that Pliskobot finally got that monkey off her back.

It was a very strange match,Jess should have won in straight sets,though credit to Karolina she came back and yes finally got the monkey off her back

@MargaretMcAleer

By the way, you're right, these Nike kits are fugly, especially the one Naomi is wearing.

 

[kskate2]

Naomi in trouble. Down 4-2 in the decider to Teichmann. If she doesn't climb out of this, wonder if she will go to the press room.

 

[Moxie]

Succumbing to too much noise, this was almost predictable. I have no idea who Teihmann even is.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done to WC Swiss Jill Teichmann ranked No 76, who has rallied back from being a set down to defeat Osaka.Osaka made too many UFE in the match and has some work to do before the USO.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Paula Badosa continues her good form defeating Rybakina 62 76(5)

 

[kskate2]

Have I mentioned what a great job Taylor T is doing on the TTC. Much better than Genie. She has more personality and her analysis is better.

That's also a low bar, but she's been really good.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bencic wins by retirement over Muchova 75 2-1 ( I could watch Muchova all day,love her all court game,she had a MTO,hopefully she will be okay for the USO).

Don't know as a matter of fact. But, I have a feeling that pliskobot must have hired a new sports psychologist. She is breaking out of her losing patterns recently.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kvitova (11) vs Kerber H2H Kvitova 8-7
