2019 WTA Mutua Madrid Open - Women's Singles General Discussion

[Aussie Darcy]

Halep takes the first set on her 5th attempt.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Don't see many 3-setters in 1:22.

Shortest 3 setters of all time?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Konta struggling to win points this set.

Has won just one.

Halep breaks to love AGAIN. Up 4-0, serving for 5-0.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Easy second set from Halep and she wins 7-5 6-1.

Konta won just 3 points on her serve in that 2nd set.

Halep into the 3R where she'll play Kuzmova.

 

[spystud]

Naomi struggled to win the first in a breaker over Sorribes Tormo.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Help moves on....!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Osaka is in for a real fight against Tormo!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

If Osaka wins this match then that rules Kerber out of #1 contention for this week and leaves it between Osaka and Halep.

 

[PeteD]

How is Sara Sorribes #74? Pretty decent server including especially good 2nd; good mover, and hits virtually zero errors.

 

[spystud]

Jesus, Naomi.


Playing 3.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Osaka, Tormo even in sets at 1-1!

How is Sara Sorribes #74? Pretty decent server including especially good 2nd; good mover, and hits virtually zero errors.

Her serve is atrocious and she has a very weak ground game. Osaka has about 50 unforced errors so that’s the only reason the match is close.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Coach is really given a pep talk to Tormo!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Her serve is atrocious and she has a very weak ground game. Osaka has about 50 unforced errors so that’s the only reason the match is close.

Right now, Tormo serve is pretty good!

 

[romeo8880]

Right now, Tormo serve is pretty good!

Bc Osaka is making errors? That doesn’t make her serve good lol. It’s served up on a platter Osaka is just missing.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Osaka is playing much better after breaking Tormo!

 

[romeo8880]

38 winners to 7. And 43 unforced errors for Osaka. No comparison between the 2 players Osaka is just missing.

 

[Harry_Wild]

38 winners to 7. And 43 unforced errors for Osaka. No comparison between the 2 players Osaka is just missing.

Or Tormo is forcing the Osaka errors?

 

[PeteD]

Nao missing a lot of junk balls.

 

[romeo8880]

Third set going how the whole match should have gone.

 

[spystud]

Naomi delivers the bagel to advance.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Cornet and Zheng match coming up on Court 5! Anyone know if it is televised?

Found it! It has almost no spectators! There is a family with a guy with U.S. flag t-shirt!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Cornet looks pretty in her medium blue outfit with no leg rap! LOL!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Cornet down 0-2!

 

[I Am Finnish]

Kerber pulled out

 

[Harry_Wild]

Kerber pulled out

Why? Twisted Right Ankle Injury.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Cornet lost the first set - 2-6!

 

[I Am Finnish]

Why? Twisted Right Ankle Injury.

Yep

 

[spystud]

Karolina bounced by Kozlova in 3.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Cornet wins the 2nd set 6-3, 1-1 in sets! 3rd set will be interesting!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Petra Martic did it again!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Back for 3rd set now in Cornet- Zheng dress in bright blue shorts!

 

[spystud]

Petra Martic did it again!

Um, advanced via walkover?

 

[Harry_Wild]

Um, advanced via walkover?

Martic recent match record wins was enough for intimidation of Kerber to withdraw!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Cornet just got broken and it back to 3-3 in the 3rd!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Zheng up 5-3 and serving for the match!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Zheng is broken! LOL! On serve at 5-4, Cornet serving! Cornet has developed a limp too!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Zheng moves on to third round. Cornet loose 6-2, 3-6, 6-4! Stephen next for Zheng!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Watching the finish of the Garcia, Cirstea match! Cirstea breaks at 5-3 in 2nd set! Garcia won the 1st 6-4! Lots of Romania fans in the crowd!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Cirstea wins 2nd, 6-3! Onto the 3rd!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Garcia ran away with it in the 3rd, 6-1!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Halep ruining Kuzmova 6-0.

The Slovakian won just 7 points in 22 minutes, only 4 on her own serve.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Kuzmova isn't even playing that terribly, Halep is just the far, far better player. Playing like a #1 (I know she isn't).

Halep breaks to love.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Halep a game away from the double bagel.

Just too good.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Halep delivers the double bagel.

Knocks out Kuzmova in just 45 minutes.

Kuzmova won just 12 points.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Apparently Nadia Comaneci was in the crowd! That must've motivated Halep a bit.

 

[spystud]

Yulia took the first over Ash @ 4.

 

[romeo8880]

I want Halep vs Osaka in the semis

 

[spystud]

Sloane just got rolled up in the first by Zheng.

 

[DeathStar]

I want Halep vs Osaka in the semis

I think Bencic takes out Osaka. She is playing at a high level. Might go all the way.
