Keys may find a way to loose this match.. Zhang is going to let the single minded ball basher beat herself. AGAIN.

Keys has Never had a B game plan when her A game is not working....

Keys has Never had a B game plan when her A game is not working....

True. Someone gave Keys the Sharapova book to tennis success..Hit the ball hard. When it's not working, hit the ball harder. Keys just had a easy stroke to hit for a winner. But as usual, Maddie swing for the fences. The ball was called in but upon further review, out by two inches and out of SJ. No AP in San Jose this weekend. Darn it.

Collins passion to compete overcame Ebony Smooth who played a good match. No Madison, no Ebony Smooth. No AP.. .maybe if Halep or Su-Wei was playing in San Jose I would have considered going this weekend..

E.Mertens (1) vs D.Kasatkina (4)

Collins is playing like a woman on a mission. I like her game although she is a moody player who NEVER seems to be happy on the court..Feel me!

Final,

Daria Kasatkina is in her 4th final so far of the season vs D.Collins (7) who is looking to win her 2nd WTA title and this is her 2nd straight final

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Hoping Daria wins. She has so much variety, but does not make it into the winner's circle often.

It's gonna take a lot for her to overcome Collins who is just waiting to implode.

Danielle is imploding. Going to a 3set most likely

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What a t/break with Daria winning 76 (10) Daria saved 5 MP points ......Danielle won the 1st set 63
Onto a final set.

 

[the AntiPusher]

What a t/break with Daria winning 76 (10) .......Danielle had MP but could not close it out
Onto a final set.

Danielle had about 6 mps...she is too crazy to playing a game expecting the crowds to not be noisy..
