Choooooke. lol

She hasn't won a title since 2011. Guess it was weighing on her.

It could be. That stuff gets in your head and is difficult to get rid of.

JG served for the match and couldn't pull it out.

Of course she did.

 

[elkwood]

3rd set starting with JG to serve

 

[jaggy]

Julia going down fast

 

[Devil_dog]

Poor Gorgeous. She looks checked out. Kat looks the fresher and more pumped up of the two.

 

[Devil_dog]

Kat's got this. Gorgeous will have to dine on a bagel.

 

[spystud]

Yeah, not exactly the third set we were hoping for.

 

[spystud]

Womp, womp.

JG served for the match and couldn't pull it out.

Goerges deserved to win but couldn't pull it off. She played two very long matches in this tournament, vs Van Uytvanck and the SF against Petkovic. In each of those matches she lost the first set, kept falling behind in sets, making comebacks. It was up and down play and looked like she would lose those matches, but she pulled off the wins in the third sets and both Uytvanck and Petkovic made errors on big points. It must have been emotionally and physically draining. This will also be her 3rd final loss this year.

Makarova didn't give her the opportunity to comeback in the third set unlike her previous opponents. Goerges to win the title, needed to be consistently dominant or a lucky break in the form of a weaker opponent in the final.

Coco came back out & won doubles with Spears. Straights over Cornet/Rosolska.

 

[Nostradamus]

How did CoCo lose this match to Keys ?? Keys has been stinking it up lately

Keys stepped it up for the semi and finals.

 

[elkwood]

Mildly interesting: Both Julia and Coco are wearing the same kit. I thought Gorgeous was a Fila girl.

That kit went 02 in finals today !!

 

[Devil_dog]

That kit went 02 in finals today !!

How did CoCo lose this match to Keys ?? Keys has been stinking it up lately

I was surprised. Coco looked to be untouchable up to the final. Madison did not start off the tournament as strong but looked good in the SF and F.

 

[speedysteve]

Full marks to Keys for that win.
Didn't let up at any point.
Hard hitting all the way and this time it worked.

Where'sw @gogo?
Andreescu is now leading Petkovic 4/1 having beaten Mladenovic yesterday. Is she the next female phenom?

Sorry I missed it! I was "off the grid" for a very long weekend. I just got home and I've just turned the TV on to watch her Rogers Cup match. Go Bianca!
