Bertens takes the first 6-4!

Actually, I want to see Bertens winning this. The woman is just too good on clay to not have a clay Premier Mandatory to her name.
Interesting pattern in the first set: Halep using her crosscourt FH, believing she threw the kitchen sink against Bertens and that there was no way in hell she could retrieve it, only to see Kiki hitting a BH DTL winner.

I would not count Halep out yet.

I concur... Halep not out yet but she needs to raise her game and have Berten come back to earth

That serve coming through for Kiki when she needs it!

Ouch. Can't believe that Kiki hit such an ugly/wild overhead, hits Simona on the fly well behind the baseline and gets the point. Speaking of ugly... can't stand Kiki's WTE serve. Amazed that she is the ace leader with such a serve motion.

Bertens wins Madrid, robs Halep of the number 1 ranking.

Congrats to Kiki. Hug from Simona. Great smile, Kiki.
Love watching her play... despite that unsightly serve of hers.

I think Svitolina is playing Rome.

Yeah, hated seeing that shot at #1 slip away. She's got a lot more upcoming points to defend than Naomi.
Gracious speech from Simona.

Always a pleasure seeing Bertens playing on clay. Deep and heavy balls, drop shots and lobs that would make Andy Murray proud and consistency, so much consistency. It was a good afternoon, with my club also reaching the european roller hockey finals!
Gosh, I do have missed watching some tennis. A person swears work won't get in the way, but it's a lie, unfortunately. The time and will just aren't there sometimes...

She’s playing but did you see her in Madrid? Her knee is still bothering her

I think she should withdraw Rome imo

But at least she is reaching those finals (even when she's sick). Osaka runs more hot & cold than Halep. Since the beginning of 2018, Naomi has been in 3 finals at the Slam/PM/P5 level. Halep has reached 6 finals = twice as many in the same period.Halep now an underwhelming 18-17 in finals
Of course the big diff is that they've both reached 2 slam finals in that time period but Osaka won both whereas Halep was a runner-up in her AO final (where she suffered from heat exhaustion).

Anyone think Bertens is a female Jim Courier?
Not in terms of results (yet), but pretty much everything else.

It's not a decision. It written in the laws/rules of tennis. Same thing goes for a wild serve -- no matter where you are standing.Thanks
Honestly, this was such a stupid decision.
If the serve hits the server or their partner, it is a fault. But if any other live ball hits a player, that player loses the point.

Similar BH, perhaps. But JC had a much better looking serve.

LOL. Not something you see everyday. But what a way to get the point.

That was very bizarre, I’ve never seen that happen before. And yeah the chair umpire made the right call.

Bertens looking for a Kerber like late career surge and she’s delivering so far.
Up to #4 with her second Premier+ title in 12 months. Has no points to defend in Rome and only 3R points at the French Open where she has to now be one of the favourites for the title. She could leave Paris #1. She’ll move to #3 in the live rankings on Monday as Kerber will lose her QF points as she withdrew from Rome.

This is the single most WTA point I have ever seen in my life.
