Wimbledon 2014 Women's QFs: Halep [3] vs Lisicki [19], Bouchard [13] vs Kerber [9]

[Josh Lyman]

Figured we should collect discussion for the first matches up on Centre and No. 1 courts.

 

[romeo8880]

Lisicki and Kerber!

 

[easywin]

Lisicki and Kerber!

I don't believe it but I hope so

 

[Marius_Hancu]

Halep takes 1st and breaks cheating Lisicki immediately.

Halep is classy and will administer a lesson to this cheating Lisicky, asking yesterday for a totally unjustified MTO AT BREAKPOINT AGAINST HER, at 1-1 in the 3rd set, in the middle of the game, just to disturb Schvedova, which she did after a 10 min interruption.

Stupid rules, of course, and L, with her MD father, was informed and cheeky enough to use it.

 

[romeo8880]

Both predictions aren't looking so good right now. Kerber playing horrible.

 

[DRII]

whats going on with Lisicki?

is she not serving well?

kinda of like Madison Keys, she can hit huge serves but then all of a sudden loses her timing...

 

[Bukmeikara]

Its seems to me that after Us open, Halep would be number 1

 

[nadal_force_field]

Lisicki eye-liner is gross, i don't know why people like black around their eyes

 

[romeo8880]

Bouchard is so lucky and has been for quite sometime. Always getting to play a tired, run down opponent. Hope she makes the final so Kvitova can destroy her.

 

[veroniquem]

Both Halep and Genie are cruising wow. I wasn't expecting that: 5-0 and 4-1. Total blowout in both matches.

 

[swordtennis]

What a win for Muscles Halep. Great point to end it. She is going to the final.

O she has to play Bouchard. That is going to be tough I think she can physically wear Bouchard down.

 

[veroniquem]

Kerber is fighting now. She got 1 break back. Lisicki is such a head case, I don't know how people can support her. Total meltdown just like her W final.

 

[Josh Lyman]

Halep wins in under an hour and Bouchard about to do the same. What a joke.

 

[maxrenn]

Bouchard is the real deal isn't she. Out of all the women Halep, Bouchard and Lisicki are my faves so its tough to see them all in the same side of the draw. Oh well, one is sure to get through to the finals at least (Kerber is getting beaten).

 

[veroniquem]

Bouchard/Kerber has become tighter. Genie really has to hold here.

 

[Marius_Hancu]

Are you ready?

 

[nadal_force_field]

Halep has the best attitude, a bit like Nadal

 

[veroniquem]

1 game away Genie. Let's go!

 

[nadal_force_field]

Halep and Bouchard could be the female equivalent of Nadal-Djokovic rivalry

 

[swordtennis]

How can you not like Halep. The interview after match was just adorable. Fresh air from the wack drama queens.

 

[easyjump]

Yes! I like them both but I'd go for Simona in this campaign.

[veroniquem]

Genie does it! Another semi. Wonderful.

 

[Josh Lyman]

Federer only wishes he had Genie's SF streak :twisted:

 

[Bukmeikara]

I rarely watch WTA but everytime at the hand shake its like they hate each other

 

[Ralph]

Wow, there never seems to be any love lost between female players when it comes to post match net hand shake. Very different from the ATP.... dare I say more 'catty'?

 

[romeo8880]

Please make the final please make the final please make the final. Kvitova needs to put an end to the hype. Girl has no serve.

 

[veroniquem]

I prefer Bouchard's game. Tennis is not all about cute interviews.

 

[moshi2]

Saw Serena waited for Cornet to walk off of the court together yesterday. Lisicki just did the same with Halep.

Kerber? Just walk out first without waiting for Bouchard with sour face. Handshake at net also pretty bad.

I know you are not required to be all smiles and friendly after a loss, but I've seen better from ATP & some WTA....

 

[Marius_Hancu]

Lemme see: Tignor of tennis.com sees Lisicki coming out of Simona's quarter.

Time to change jobs, Tignor.
Cleaning of stables seems a great one for you right now

 

[DRII]

Kerber is fighting now. She got 1 break back. Lisicki is such a head case, I don't know how people can support her. Total meltdown just like her W final.

because she's a sweet-heart!

why so mean

 

[Down_the_line]

Please make the final please make the final please make the final. Kvitova needs to put an end to the hype. Girl has no serve.

I will laugh so hard if they do meet and she beats Kvitova. You hype Kvitova up every time and she ends up failing. But then I'd have to hear from you how the match is fixed so...

Kerber knows how fast the tables have turned, that's why. Last year, Bouchard faced Kerber as a rookie and Kerber handled her in 3 sets. Fast forward to Bouchard's 2nd year on tour, Bouchard blew her off the court at the French Open and has now put an end to her Wimbledon journey in straight sets. Quite the turn around and Kerber probably isn't too happy about it.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

I must say I'm rooting for Safarova even though she has almost no chance of winning another match. Go Lucie!
