2024 WTA Madrid 1000

[spystud]

Ons took the first over Jelena.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

OJ get the no look handshake from JO as JO is pissed with OJ hubby loud cheer.
OJ - JO 6-0, 6-4.

 

[spystud]

Iga should rope SST here, then we move on.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Damn that is an emphatic win by Jabeur.

Just when I had written her off she stomps top 10 Ostapenko 6-0 6-4..

 

[pcplum]

Iga should rope SST here, then we move on.

Staggering mismatch

 

[ScottleeSV]

Staggering mismatch

To quote The Beach Boys (sort of), she'll have fun, fun, fun until Elena takes the title awayyy.

Świątek's supposed to peak for RG and Olympics this season. Everything else is just a means to an end.

 

[spystud]

Ouch, 1 whole game for SST.

Sakkari kinda got wrecked too.

 

[austintennis2005]

How come dimitrov is watching the Andreeva paolini match? He’s too old to be dating them

 

[flyingboris]

Mirra serving to stay in the first set at 2-5. Tough day at the office.

 

[flyingboris]

How come dimitrov is watching the Andreeva paolini match? He’s too old to be dating them

Paolini is 28, Grigor almost 33, that wouldn't be scandalous.

 

[austintennis2005]

Oh ok I thought she was much younger

 

[alexio]

How come dimitrov is watching the Andreeva paolini match? He’s too old to be dating them

one guy fell in love with a girl whos 25 years younger so to love all ages yield surrender as they say

 

[flyingboris]

Meanwhile Andreeva is two points away from getting this to a tie break, great fightback so far! Just watching the scores unfortunately.

 

[alexio]

cute little italian girl losin first set

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Gotta keep your hopper full.

 

[austintennis2005]

cute little italian girl losin first set

Maybe Grigor is distracting her attention

 

[zvelf]

Ouch, 1 whole game for SST.

SST beat seeds Svitolina and Azarenka in the previous 2 round but got absolutely wrecked by Iga. Sorribes Tormo won 5 points total in the second set. That's less than a point per game.

 

[flyingboris]

Looks like Mirra woke up. From 2-5 down in the first to reaching a tiebreak and taking it 7-2. Seems like she's got some fight in her!

 

[spystud]

Appears the little Italian ain’t gonna battle.

 

[coolcamden]

Paolini is too cute for the perv.

 

[coolcamden]

Come on Keys.

 

[coolcamden]

Come on Keys.

Coco got broken with 2 DF’s.

 

[spystud]

Mirra in straights.

 

[flyingboris]

Keys beats Gauff 7-6 4-6 6-4. Copying from poster "Gentleman" on TF, apparently Gauff was "up 5-2 and 4-2 in first and third set respectively and lost them both." That's not great.

 

[ScottleeSV]

On the plus side, she might be world number 2 if Sabalenka doesn't win too many more rounds. She doesn't feel like number 2.

 

[pcplum]

Hoping for some fireworks in Saba v Collins game obviously with the sound muted. Saba 4-0 h2h - first matchup on clay.

 

[coolcamden]

That was Keys 28th win over top 10. Attagirl.

 

[tennis4me]

Lots of "upset" results today. Latest: Kasatkina (#10) lost to Putintseva.

 

[Connor35]

Ouch, 1 whole game for SST.

Sakkari kinda got wrecked too.

SST won 5 points in the 2nd set.

 

[ScottleeSV]

SST won 5 points in the 2nd set.

She's a player who can be a pain in the neck on the right surface. When she loses though, boy can she lose hard.

 

[alexio]

collins well done first set in the bag hope match will be too

 

[alexio]

dang, dragolenko' shoulders even more impressive perhaps than sugarpova' ones, they are more meaty while sugarpova shoulders looked more like a hanger

 

[coolcamden]

So so much power. Big girls tennis.

 

[Devil_dog]

Collins playing like she’s got nothing to lose… Saba playing well but seems oh so on the edge.

 

[spystud]

Sick lob by Aryna. This is quite the 8th game.

 

[spystud]

Boom, then a massive DTL forehand winner to 4-all.

 

[pcplum]

Great hitting ladies, keep it up

 

[spystud]

Tigress breaks to 5-4.

 

[spystud]

Playing 3.

 

[spystud]

Double break, 3-0 for Aryna.

About to be handshake time.

 

[Purestriker]

Playing 3.

Danimal in trouble.

 

[Devil_dog]

4-2 for Saba. Not quite over yet for Danimal who seems more irritated by the whistles than anything else.

 

[Devil_dog]

Collins holds. 4-3 Saba to serve.

 

[spystud]

Dani serving to stay at 3-5.

 

[spystud]

And that’s a wrap.

Helluva run by Dani.

 

[AM75]

This Saba Collins match should be a slam final.

 

[Devil_dog]

This Saba Collins match should be a slam final.

Totally agree. These two hit big and played like it was a final. Saba breaks Danimals win streak at 15...

 

[ScottleeSV]

7hrs and 9 minutes for Sabalenka in this tournament so far, and potentially Andreeva, Rybakina; and Swiatek still to get through.

 

[coolcamden]

2 heavyweights. I don’t think any rally went over 8 shots. Put-away tennis at its finest. I’d be OK if it was the Final. They kinda started getting sluggish after 2 hours. Still a great match. When Saby gets her head right, she’s such a great player. She always hits so hard sometimes we forget her skills are also AtG.
