Belinda challenges a ball that was obviously out, then doesn't challenge a second serve call that looked wrong.. C'mon Bel!

Uh-oh. 3 setter in the making. Love to see Petra play well. But would love even more to see Belinda take this.

You may be right, but Belinda has also imploded. Hope she snaps out of it soon!

Top 30 live (up from 45). Top 25 if she wins this. Had been top 10 in 2016 before injury.

Well my steam froze, but I see that Belinda didn't. Nice job after the second set implosion!

Couldn't find a decent stream for the life of me, but I'm so happy for Bencic! Winning a Premier 5 beating Sabalenka, Halep, Svitolina and Kvitova is fantastic. I feared for her after all those injuries, but she might be in the right path to leave a mark again.

Indeed! Only 2015 Rogers Cup was better.

Perhaps those drummers should be standing in a circle so that the guys on the ends aren't striking air.

Bencic won a WTA Premier level tournament with $ 520K and more importantly, 900 ranking points!

As commented earlier in the thread, Bencic has horrible challenges!
Good win.

Couple dozen people showed up for the semi. Vondrousova plays AVU tomorrow in the final.

Twice now Kvitova has lost in finals to a player I couldn't also help root for. Bencic kinda let Kvitty beat herself but was brilliant earlier in the tournament, so fully deserved the win.

This is all because of Miss Sabalenka who couldn't convert her 6 MPs grrrr. But yeah Bencic ain't bad.
Dolgopolov85

Well, thank God for that, I say. Can't stand Sabalenka. Projects way too much disgust at defeat and bad attitude for a non elite player. It's not like she's Serena Williams getting upset by some nobody.

If Top 10 player is non-elite I don't know who is.

I watched her match against Bencic, and in fairness, Bencic didn't always behave that well. I didn't see Sabalenka repeatedly banging her racquet against the floor, or screaming at her box. Bencic was.
The noise is annoying though.
Dolgopolov85
G.O.A.T.
Has yet to reach a slam QF and yet when she loses (and to good players) behaves like it's a major upset. Good for her that she's breached the top 10 still.

I don't know if I'm late to the news but CSN is in relationship with Spanish footballer or just friend?
