what happened before may 13 doesn't count. it was the old simona her alter ego

Both are nice feisty competitive young ladies so I'll be happy either way. Having never seen them play each other I've no idea personally. Both are having a fantastic tournament regardless of winner and Halep well deserves her new top 10 spot.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I have not seen Halep play at all. I have seen only the last of match of PR (Pocket Rocket).
So, my pick is not going to be scientific.

I would tend to think PR will have a let down after the high of defeating Maria.

So I vote for Halep in three.

I love that and totally agree about how tough these two are. Should be a helluva match between these two. I must go with Simona in three tough sets.

 

[Front242]

Both really show that even the smaller ladies can really pack a punch.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

It will be a first for either one.
Simona in 3

Wow, Cibulkova engaged to boyfriend for 2 years.

Said they didn't have time for a wedding.

[Correspondent Kiu]

Ciby gets the early break thanks to errors from Simona.

up 2-0, Domi will serve to consolidate.

 

[kskate2]

Cibby up 4-1

 

[golds girl]

Looks like Simona is calming down a little. Cibbys outfit must be 100 percent spandex. There's no other way for movement in that thing.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Simona holds, although pushed to deuce.

4-2
Domi leads.

That's a serious party dress if it's spandex. :snigger
