No quit in Mertens! Love it

 

[elkwood]

Great match !! Halep up 54 now ...

Lay 5 that Mertens breaks back !

 

[James P]

Wow. Incredible dog fight for that last game. Simona breaks; will serve out at 5-4 for the match.

 

[elkwood]

Guess !! Great match !! Wonder how far Halep will go

 

[spystud]

Anticlimactic final game.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Halep will be hoping for a Swiatek win. Simo blew Swiatek off the court at the French Open winning 6-1 6-0.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Damn, when did Swiatek start serving like that?
That is an impressive first serve.

 

[ALEXT]

Rooting for Iga on this one. She is a promising player and very down to earth.
She had a good run in Toronto last summer.

 

[spystud]

Breaker for the first.

 

[spystud]

Iga takes it.

 

[romeo8880]

Who’s having a medical timeout? For what?

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

GWAN Iga.

 

[elkwood]

Iga playing well. I remember seeing her in last years French Open.

 

[fundrazer]

Hopefully Thiem closes out the other half of G.E.M.S life shortly. Want Mugu on court asap so that I can watch without falling asleep.

 

[spystud]

5-all in this one.

Looked up Elina’s Insta just because, she only follows two accounts, Gael & GEMS.

 

[spystud]

Of course we’re playing 3.

 

[spystud]

From 1-5 to back on serve for Iga @ 4-5.

 

[spystud]

5-all, this could be quite the choke by Anett.

 

[spystud]

Anett holds & breaks to avoid the collapse.

 

[spystud]

Helluva run by the 18-year old though.

 

[tennisjedi]

So coaching from the stands is now legal in the WTA?
Patrick with the "everybody is doing it, so it's okay for me to do it" excuse again.

 

[spystud]

Yeah, very fitting he was on set for that segment.

 

[spystud]

Krejcikova/Siniakova beat Kenin/BMS 7-5 in the third.

 

[spystud]

Garbine holds for 5-2.

 

[fundrazer]

Garbine holds for 5-2.

She's looking good. Servng well, attacking short balls, and good defense when she needs it.

 

[spystud]

Easy first for the Spaniard.

 

[Josh Lyman]

Interesting that Mugu was the betting favorite in this match despite their rankings difference.

 

[spystud]

Pavs is favored over Angie too.

 

[fundrazer]

Set and a break! Vamos!

 

[I Am Finnish]

Where was this Muguruza last year?

 

[fundrazer]

Mugu says get your moonballs outta here and hits a nice fh swing volley winner.

4-2. Bertens seems to be feeling the pressure at times with some really poor misses.

 

[Josh Lyman]

Pavs is favored over Angie too.

Yeah that one I don’t understand.

I bet on Mugu to cover the spread and Kerber to win outright (better payout).

 

[Harry_Wild]

Mug looks like she going to win against Berte, up 4-3 on serve!

 

[helixx]

Amazing Mugu. Bertens’s tennis tho.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Mug at 5-3!

 

[helixx]

Salty handshake from Bertens

 

[spystud]

On to the QFs for Miss Garbine.

 

[fundrazer]

3 and 3 for Mugu.

Woooooooo!

 

[Harry_Wild]

MUG IS IN TO 2ND WEEK!

 

[spystud]

Now we need Medvedev & Stan to hurry up for Angie/Pavs.

 

[Bukmeikara]

Now we need Medvedev & Stan to hurry up for Angie/Pavs.

I think that you could be the first ever to wish the men's match finishing quicker in favor of the women's one. I am in shock

 

[Aussie Darcy]

The power a new coach can do. She finally dumped Sam (who may be coaching her QF opponent if Pavlyuchenkova beats Kerber) and got Conchita and she’s back with some big wins.

 

[spystud]

Now we need Medvedev & Stan to hurry up for Angie/Pavs.

Of bleeping course, this will take another month.

 

[spystud]

Gauff/McNally lost the first in doubles.

 

[spystud]

Alright, that wasn’t too long. Come on down, ladies.

 

[spystud]

Gauff/McNally force 3.

Angie/Pavs warming up.

 

[SystemicAnomaly]

Oustanding doubs from McNally & Gauff vs the seeded Japanese team, Shibahara & Aoyama.

More entertaining that most singles matches

 

[spystud]

Well, Pavs is already serving for the first.

 

[RokasLTU]

Well, Pavs is already serving for the first.

Well, no.
