[AiRFederer]

Caro in 3

 

[Aussie Darcy]

SO EXCITED!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Stubbsy tips Caroline, Sam Smith tips Halep.

 

[Fedinkum]

Heh, Serbian chair umpire.

She can give me warning anytime

 

[zagor]

She can give me warning anytime

How about a violation?

 

[speedysteve]

How about a violation?

Steady on

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Great points already!

 

[Fedinkum]

Wow...woza starting strong. Not the usual moon all mode.
Go Halep!!

 

[elkwood]

bah espn making it hard to watch. having to use the multicam broadcast

 

[zagor]

Wozniacki serve and BH combo.

 

[elkwood]

Halep needs to finish at the net a lot tonight

 

[The Green Mile]

I'd slightly prefer Caroline to win the whole thing, solid hold to start the match.

 

[zagor]

Halep seems a step slower today to me for some reason.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

YES! So good by Wozniacki! 0-30.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Woz really on it from the start

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Double break points for Woz.

 

[aman92]

Like Halep but Woz is an LFC fan...tough to pick between the two

 

[Fedinkum]

Holy smoke...Woza is the more aggressive one so far and is paying off.

 

[tacou]

this isn't on espn3....disappointing

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Woz breaks!

 

[junior74]

Great offensive start by Wozzy

 

[zagor]

Yeah, Wozniacki is playing much better so far.

Better serving, better returning, better depth.

 

[Fedinkum]

Halep needs to finish at the net a lot tonight

She would win so many of her past matches if she Would attack more. I hope for miracle tonight night.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Woz is dictating out there and making Halep run.

 

[AiRFederer]

Caro is on fireeee

 

[AiRFederer]

She would win so many of her past matches if she Would attack more. I hope for miracle tonight night.

Nobodys changing their game on a final of grandsllam

 

[speedysteve]

Whatever Woz is on, I want some

 

[Fedinkum]

How about a violation?

I beg for her violation...

 

[Fedinkum]

Nobodys changing their game on a final of grandsllam

Hence my hope for miracle

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Wow, so good by Woz. Holds for 3-0.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Woz too strong 3-0

Problem is, aside from few exceptions aggressive tennis wins you slams. Playing to win instead of playing not to lose.

Wozniacki is so far going for the title, Halep is reacting to her game. Needs to change that.

 

[FD3S]

Great balance between offense and defense so far!

 

[Fedinkum]

Halep can’t read Woza’s ground strokes at all right now. She is always a step late in picking a direction. Whatever game plan A she has, she needs to switch to Game Plan B now. This could be a massacre.

 

[Tennease]

I really hope the louder grunter lose.

C'mon Caroline!

Caroline looks like the one who is more aggressive so far. She can do this. Please don't choke.

 

[The Green Mile]

Very impressive start no doubt, Woz very precise in her point construction, taking the initiative.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Wozniacki not making any errors, hitting some great winners.

Halep not playing bad but just not as good as peak Woz.

 

[AiRFederer]

Woz on fire I wouldnt put it past any of these girls to mentally implode though. This is a kind of match where a double break, 5-1 kinda scoreline will never be a safe lead

I know. But you can play to win from the baseline as well obviously. Wishing for a player to change their entire style, in this case, going to the net a lot more than usual, is kind of asking for too much.

 

[zagor]

Volley on the line from Halep, good stuff.

 

[tennisaddict]

Wiz on fire . Serving clicking very well. Poor Halep can hope something has to change here

 

[Fedinkum]

Halep is just trying to hit through the middle and Woza is redirecting the incomings side to side with ease.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Halep on the board.

 

[tennisaddict]

Woz on fire I wouldnt put it past any of these girls to mentally implode though. This is a kind of match where a double break, 5-1 kinda scoreline will never be a safe lead

I don’t think Woz chokes as much

 

[Fedinkum]

Come on Halep!!! Unleash your former Inner DD!!!!!!

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Halep wins her first game.

 

[Fedinkum]

Volley on the line from Halep, good stuff.

If Halep wins this set or match, I put that volley as the turning point.

 

[Dolgopolov85]

Woz has come out to play! Gonna be exciting (unless Halep has a melt down).

 

[AiRFederer]

Hoping for a Caro win but hoping more for a classic. Ladies, deliver please.
