MTO at the set break. Halep hoping to ice Sloane...

 

[Fedeonic]

Good way to start the 3rd set with a break from Simona.

 

[skyline]

Halep up an early break. No surprise.

She's not serving that great so Sloane should be able to get the break back but....

 

[NuBas]

Halep likes to suffer doesn't she?

 

[ohiostate124]

Can someone please tell Halep to keep it down?

 

[ak24alive]

What a dropper from Simo

 

[spystud]

The net cord dropper, dirty.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Net cord dropper, haha!

 

[Fedeonic]

Halep literally tanked that final shot and won the game. True N°1!

 

[Vanhalen]

My gosh freaking grunting like a cow!!! Shut up!

 

[ak24alive]

Simo is so good at defending and Sloane is good at attacking and that's why this match up is so entertaining.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Sloane is the better player today, but can she close it out?

 

[ak24alive]

Now that Simona is a GS champ Darren Cahill is trying to expand her arsenal by introducing some variety in it.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Sloane caught a case of the yips, totally gave that game away.

 

[skyline]

She seemed like she'd hold easily and now down a break again.

She seems like she's barely holding on mentally. I kinda have a feeling Halep is going to hold, then break her again and serve it out. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Fedeonic]

First ace of the match for Simona?

 

[NuBas]

ESPN better show men's final over this crp

 

[Fedeonic]

Stephens self-destructs since 2-2 40-15 and now Simona will serve for the title 5-2.

 

[skyline]

Stephens is done. Even if Simona somehow fails to serve it out, she'll get it done on Stephens's serve.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

yeah, Sloane totally had the momentum, then hit this strange wall

 

[ak24alive]

Mad FH

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Now that was good. Wouldn’t hate this becoming a new top rivalry.

She's been looking mentally taxed for some time now. I think she just doesn't have the capacity to match Halep's fight.

Simona Halep knocks out Sloane Stephens in over 2 and a half hours and she’s the Rogers Cup champion once again. She wins 7-6 3-6 6-2.

Has a very good hold of that #1 ranking now.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

I like when broadcasters use words like "scintillating".

 

[skyline]

As expected! Congrats to Simona. Hell of a fight today.

I assume both are skipping Cincy after today's marathon.

[NuBas]

ESPN is behind I think, match over 6-2

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Halep chokes and now we have to wait a bit longer for Epicdal vs Tsits.

 

[ak24alive]

Oh what energy by Simona here. Brilliant.

 

[NuBas]

Tennis.com shows match is over Simona winning 6-2

 

[Mr.Lob]

He just always has to be the first to post the final score.

 

[ak24alive]

Some great attack from Simona here. She is stepping up here.

What program are you guys watching?

As expected! Congrats to Simona. Hell of a fight today.

[Aussie Darcy]

My stream cut out so I assumed it was done??? Now it’s saying it’s not??

 

[skyline]

The fcuk are you guys talking about?

My stream cut out so I checked here, saw Aussie's post and thought I'd say congrats?

I can't get the stream back, so someone please explain what's going on now.

 

[ak24alive]

Brilliant from Sloane here

 

[spystud]

For those actually watching, Sloane ain’t quitting yet.

 

[Mr.Lob]

Come on Sloane. Make Simona serve for it.

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Please can this be over

Do you have ESPN2?

 

[Mr.Lob]

Yes. Sloane holds.

 

[spystud]

For a match that already ended, we’re somehow @ 5-4 on Simona’s serve.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

For those without a reliable stream, the third set is 5-4 Halep

 

[Aussie Darcy]

I see Lob and Spystud are continuing their sucking up of each other. Gee, sorry I posted a result when my stream cut out and FlashScore had the match finished. Heaven forbid a mistake was made. Won’t forget that one.

Sloane broke back. Then she served and Simona played goat tennis to bring 2 match points. Then Sloane played goat tennis to save those match points and score now stands 5-4 Halep. Halep to serve for the match.
