2019 Miami - WTA Premier Mandatory - General Discussion

[JJGUY]

I like how Kontaveit played the last two shots, she did not to rush for a hasty putaway, instead got herself into a better position then hit a more secure winner to finish the match.

 

[AM75]

In other news Halep/Georges lost their doubles match after leading 6:1, 5:3.

 

[TagUrIt]

Hsieh is pulling double duty today. She is playing doubles now with Strycova.

 

[Sport]

Hsieh is pulling double duty today. She is playing doubles now with Strycova.

Will she be tired for singles?

 

[TagUrIt]

Will she be tired for singles?

Unfortunately, she already lost to Kontaveit, so this is it for her if she wants any type of title from Miami this year.

 

[spystud]

Petra/Ash up next, looks like ESPNews will have the American coverage.

 

[spystud]

ESPN is bumming about this rain cause it knocks their boy Fed back later.

 

[tennis4me]

The new stadium has no closeable roof? How about the old stadium?

 

[spystud]

They heard you.

Players are warming up.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Hsieh lost both match after only rest for like 30 minutes after her single match.
It was scheduled yesterday (The doubles).

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Kvitova is leading H2H 4-0 against Ash Bar and 2-0 this year.
Let's see, pretty tight so far. Petra lost serve and failed to consolidate a break.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

First set has lived up to the hype.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

ESPN is bumming about this rain cause it knocks their boy Fed back later.

Lol, why is Tsitsipas still playing and Feddie scheduled tomorrow. Papa can't play midnight anymore.

 

[spystud]

Probably get better ratings in middle of the afternoon.

 

[spystud]

Petra pretty much blew that breaker.

 

[elkwood]

Barty takes first set in TB

 

[elkwood]

Petra pretty much blew that breaker.

Yea she really did. Went from a 4 1 lead i believe to lossing it 86. Good set though from both

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Barty is a stealer. Down from 2-5 at TB.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Another late nighter.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Petra in the zone, but can she sustain it?

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Vintage Petra, crushing and accuracy. Barty is done if Petra keeps playing like this but we know that Petra can back to struggling after merely a game.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

1 set all after 2 hours.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

What a point!

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Dubai final all over again.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

I've never seen Ws match exchange slice after slice like Djok-Murray.

 

[NuBas]

Dubai final all over again.

Didn't they already meet like 2-3 times this year already?

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Petra stalking the net now, nice aggressive play.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Didn't they already meet like 2-3 times this year already?

Yes. Petra is 2-0 against Barty this year.

 

[NuBas]

Yes. Petra is 2-0 against Barty this year.

What did your comment mean Dubai all over again?

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

What did your comment mean Dubai all over again?

Dubai Final, she totally outplay Bencic on 2nd set only to collapse on 3rd. Similar now.

 

[Deleted member 293577]

Petra hit a bit of a wall. (named Ash Barty)

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

@Aussie Darcy wish come through. Petra failed to get the no. 1 rank and Ash Bar debut on top 10.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Fantastic win for Ash who gets revenge for both the Sydney final loss and the Aus Open QF loss! Hope she can get past Kontaveit and make the final!

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Confirmed now that up until Miami, no player win multiple titles yet this year.

Mens still rely on Federer, Medvedev (Who will play each other) and Bautista Agut.

 

[spystud]

Check out how many match tiebreaks we’ve had in the doubles draw so far.

Belinda/DasKa went 10-8, 15-13, 8-10 in their matches.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Halep back at 1 if she wins the title

 

[PDJ]

This has been a lovely tournament for those of us that prefer the more intelligent (on-court) players.
Thoroughly entertaining regardless of the result.
Good luck Barty.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Halep back at 1 if she wins the title

Final would be sufficient.

 

[spystud]

For the Americans...

[spystud]

Welp, here we go again, two friends being nice to each other. The tour will be ruined soon at this rate.

[Harry_Wild]

Wang starting out slow, Halep broke and the Wang broke back again. This match is on ESPN2 in the U.S. and EuroSport the rest of Europe. Have not look at Far East!

 

[dannythomas]

You have to feel it for Petra. Tough day with the spotlight back on her attacker getting sentenced and then getting an asthma attack during the match. It’s great to see her back as a contender and she will have better days .

 

[PeteD]

Halep looking good. Will win Miami, get #1 ranking.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Halep looking good. Will win Miami, get #1 ranking.

Could go the way of the Djokovic/Agut match! First set does not always tell the way the entire match will turn out!

 

[spystud]

Simona won the first @ 4 & opens with a break.

 

[ALEXT]

Good match from Halep so far. I hope she can close this in straight sets, but you never now how things turn out...

 

[Enceladus]

Highlights:
Petra Kvitová vs. Ashleigh Barty

Su-Wei Hsieh vs. Anett Kontaveit

 

[nounforcederrors]

Wang doesn't really break back - Simona defeats herself. Too much hitting it to each other, too much reliance on the other's errors. Argh. They can do better.

 

[spystud]

And of course now it’s 4-1 Wang.
