Lucic-Baroni a set away from a slam SF. What is this, 1999?

I know it would sadden KP fans, but I swear, this is the nicest, tugging-at-your-heart-strings kind of underdog anyone could lose to.

Not that I think KP will lose, bc I truly don't. She can't possibly not wake up.

Pliskova seems to be playing a bit conservative. Not hitting the ball as hard as normal, not running as much.. Girl, move.

She is hitting the ball in the middle of the court, right in the strike zone of MLB. The latter goes to the corner and KP does not try to retrieve the balls. Easy so far.

Would LOVE that. Ultimate result would be MLB silencing the motormouth (though Coco probably beats her one if they do meet).

Coco will drop 3-4 games at most if they meet. She is on fire. But first she has Venus...

She breaks MLB and is up a break 3-2.

Was not a tactical MTO. She wasn't running as much and as spystud said, was a blister and hates calling the trainer.

Plus, she did it after breaking (which also means before her own serve).

I am not so sure there wasn't gamesmanship there but I'll give benefit of the doubt.

Whatever the case, get it, Miki, you deserve this.

Break point. Now's your chance cause MLB would go up 4-3 and then just be one break from the match..

Thank god. Now race through this 3rd set.
I love MLB but I want Pliskova to go far and maybe win the AO. Also want a Pliskova/Serena SF rematch where I don't really mind who wins.

I honestly don't understand why a player will look this uninterested in the quarter final of a major. It's like Pliskova has 22 slams, 3 gold medals and has been 500 weeks as #1. Chase the ball for God's sake ...

how far removed has Lucic-Baroni been?...she doesn't even have a Twitter account!...every player does it seems

seriously, if her career had stayed on course she would have been a consistent rival for the Williams sisters, Maria, etc.
