Gauf the more experience player, is doing well against the journey woman Sabalenka! 1st 7-6 Gauf!

The journey woman Sabalenka took the 2nd set 6-4!

Calling Aryna a journey woman is a little ignorant. Only 22, has been as high as #9, won Wuhan twice & Doha right before the shutdown.

The more experienced player 16 year Gauf took the 3rd set over the journey woman Sabalenka 6-4! Gauf is in the Quarterfinals!

They seemingly reduced the number of line judges and don't have a hawk eye ? Is it because of the virus?

Highly doubt this complex was ever gonna have Hawk-Eye, but the fewer line judges is thanks to 'Rona.

Not surprised to see Sabalenka lose, in fact thought Coco should’ve been considered the favourite.

Sabalenka is highly overrated. While she’s 12-0 at the Premier 5 in Wuhan she’s only 8-10 at every slam she’s played... Coco by comparison is 8-3 at her 3 slams she’s played and she’s only 16.

Not getting these (linguistic) qualifiers at all. Inside joke? A failed attempt to be clever? To my mind, these phrases mean nearly the same thing. And for both players, neither is really true.

Serena bulking down seems to have really helped her movement.and balance, though footwork still a bit lazy.

Props to the beautiful Bluegrass state of Kentucky for hosting a great tournament. Should surpass Cincy in the running for the fifth slam.

A bit of trivia. Today's match is the 3rd Oldest combined age match in WTA history...79 years and 19 days. The Williams.

Renee Richards holds the record....with some other womans.

I have to go mow the lawn before it rains. So, I'll let my partner in the studio booth take over the play by play. Take it away Harry is Wild....and go Venus!

Serena wins in 3 sets 6-3, 3-6, 6-4! :)
Venus serves let her down in defaults and not enough aces! Venus return of second serve wins much lower then Serena‘s.
