Tom Selleck plays Kudermetova later. Unfair advantage there.

Behave Fronty LOL!

Good tough win from Caroline Garcia ( one of my favorite players to watch) defeating Elise Mertens 64 75, backs up her good win in her previous match defeating Sakkari.

Good win alright. Expected it to go to 3 sets tbh. Garcia's played an awful lot since clay season though and is in danger of getting burnt out or injured and would want to take things easy before the USO.

Point taken, she really has improved though, since she got rid of her father as her coach, now has a proper credential coach, she has a great all round game.

[MargaretMcAleer]

Going 3 in the match between Tomljanovic vs Kudermetova I am trying not to laugh as Front thinks she is like Tom Selleck lol!

Kudermetova 1st set 63 and Tomljanovic 2nd set 76(4)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

In the match between Jess Pegula vs Emma Raducanu there have been breaks of serve in the 1st set, though Jess to me has been the stronger player so far and has won the 1st set 75

 

[tossip]

Jess is playing fantastic tennis,she better keep it because the other gal is determined to win too.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jessica Pegula (7) solid from start to finish to defeat Emma Raducanu (10) 75 64

Well done Jessica!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A. Tomljanovic d V. Kudermetova 36 76 (4) 63
,
Well done Tomljanovic!, backing up with your previous good win over Paula Badosa, since breaking up with Matteo your tennis has improved out of sight!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am only score boarding this match Sabalenka (6) vs Rogers ( as Saba does my head in

Sabalenka was serving for the match 6-3 after winning the 1st set 64, was broken and went to a t/break in the 2nd set which Shelby won 76 (2)

Going to a third set.

Sabalenka (6) d Rogers 63 67 (2) 64

Will she win the title?

Keys d. Rybakina - 6-2, 6-4.

Will she win the title?

Madison loves the pace of these courts, she took out Swiatek No 1 player yesterday, defeated Rybakina with ease today.
I feel she has sent a strong message to the rest of the players left in this tournament she was the 2019 champion at Cinncy.With this win Maddy will return to the Top 20 next week.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good to see Petra Kvitova playing well in Cinncy, in hot and high humidity conditions, usually not Petra's favorite conditions

P. Kvitova d A. Tomljanovic 62 63

Well done to Tomljanovic making her first WTA 1000 QFs, not her day today, she has been playing solid tennis so far this year.

Petra will face Madison for a place in the final.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A.Sabalenka (6) d S.Zhang 64 76 (1)

Aryna has brought in a biomechanics specialist to help work on her serve.Says they've started to implement some adjustments.Leaving no stone unturned to try and find solutions.
Sabalenka had 12 DFs in her match against Zhang

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

An impressive 1st set of tennis from Caroline Garcia, a controlled aggressive set of tennis, 6-1, has not allowed Jess Pegula into the match so far, when you consider Garcia had to play qualifies to get into the draw at Cinncy, to make the QFS is impressive in itself
