G.O.A.T.
Garbine with the freaking forehand.
She looks like her ranking suggested she is atm.

There is just something so compulsive about the way Hsieh plays: the most unattractive, effective backhand. And a pleasant contrast to the identikit players out there: and such variety of shot.Kerber narrowly escaped Hsieh treatment at 2018 AO, but not this time around.
Hsieh can now put Kerber on her big-name, GS holders, wins list along with Muguruza ('18 AO) and Halep ('18 Wimbledon).
I don't really remember Bencic being all that fast, but she normally has great anticipation and court sense. If her athleticism has improved though then she should be back in the top 20 in no time.How is Bencic ranked only #44? She flies around the court like Halep and stays clutch on big points a lot!
Everything he tried to tell her was correct, she was just in typical Garbine-mode.
Good stream
Noticed that in Doha too. Loyal fan base who always seem to have a presence.Tournaments must be so pleased when Halep plays: appears to be the only player with a significant fan base that boosts attendance. And atmosphere.
Hsieh bagels kerber
Wad a shock
How on earth has Muguruza won major titles? I suppose she is to be admired that she strung enough matches together with such a one-dimensional game (lob aside, which whilst rarely utilised, is first-class) to take those few trophies. Just 6 tournament wins INCLUDING the French and Wimbledon.
Fantastic win for Bencic and I love that it was over awful Sabalenka. Any loss for her is a good one
Very fair and balanced summation.When her head is on and she confident she has a good game for the inconsistent clay and grass surfaces, not so much on hard-courts which reward the more consistent players. She has been in decline for quite a while now, others are getting better she isn't and mentally she struggles to cope when a good player gets on top of her. She might do better on the clay and grass but I don't see her as a top 8 player anymore. Good chance of another classic Halep v Svitolina semi this week, not certain because both will be tested today but likely. Last weeks match up was quality.
