both choked big time. halep choked from 4-1, almost 5-1 up. then sloane choked from 5-1 up in TB, along with multiple set points. usually the universe sets itself straight by allowing the original choker to eventually win anyways because they should've won the first set anyways.
 
What a comeback in the tiebreak from Halep, that should have won more easily the first set. 76(6)
yeah, felt like she stole it back from Sloane. Had it in control, then lost it, then beat Sloane at conservative tennis.
 
I think Sloane is going to lose the match now. She’s simply not a match for Simona fitness wise and she can’t hold out for two additional grueling sets.
 
It's an achey breaky match


These girls are going at it lol

Nice. The new kit from Nike?

Well, both played a bit more aggressive when behind.
 
why is sloane giving halep easy service games? she needs the double break to win 2nd set. have a feeling shes gonna get broken back and then lose in 2.

I know. I have the same feeling.

I think she's trying to be more aggressive - and she needs to be, she's not going to win this by waiting out Halep's mistakes - but she's just not confident enough to go for her shots as much as it's necessary.
 
Coach tells Sloane to fight every point.

The problem is that she's not as fit as Simona. She can't go on forever, Halep can. She's gonna be the first to drop off if every point turns into extended rallying.

I like that she's hitting deep balls right at Halep's feet but she definitely needs more initiative and tougher returns. Halep isn't serving that amazingly but Sloane isn't exploiting it nearly as much as she could.
 
Finally Sloane converts on a set point.

I still think Simona will take this. Sloane's best chance is to roll her up quickly at the beginning of the third.

EDIT: Ouch, Simona getting treatment for a blister.
