2014 Dongfeng Motor Wuhan Open

The blonde cheetah is bringing the meat home 
A win today almost secures her Singapore ticket, she will be 7 in the race above Ana and about 700 points ahead of Kerber. Kerber is out of Singapure, maybe not theoretically but she is out practically.
More Caro stuff:
If she wins Wuhan, she is 30 points below Aga and I am sure that Caro will finish ranked 5th in the world at the end of 2014 after playing in Singapore and adding more points there. She is in much better shape than Aga now.
Have I jinxed her? My player is not so good lately and I am bored and just a bit frustrated and nasty

Half a year ago she was almost outside the top 20. She will finish the year ranked 5 in the world.
Now thats a "come back".
Well done Caroline and welcome to another semifinal - why not go all the way :clap Credit to Bacsinszky for her play that really was a test for Caroline :clap

I can come back and watch the 3rd set. Plenty of time until the end of the match
Seriously she and Simona and others dont get it. They must keep the intensity at start of 2nd set. Its so unprofessional and it caused them losing matches in the past !
Was she braked? Do I miss anything?

P3tra... there is a 3 inside her name. Do the math through the last 2 years. I also happen to mention other names in this post... its not about one match

Actually I think it's not the case any more. Last season yes, but this season - I believe she is not playing threesetters more often then the others. P3tra is being a myth now.

Wozniacki v Bouchard
This is their first meeting.Bouchard has the slight edge in terms of aggression,but I feel Wozniacki is the more consistent player.Caroline has won a lot of matches in the last couple of months and I believe she will have the confidence to win. Caroline in 3 sets.
Kvitova v Svitolina
In their previous meeting Elina defeated Petra at Cincy 62 76(2),it was one of Petra's worst performances of the year.Petra has played very well this week,she has also handled the conditions well.If Petra brings her current form into this match,she will win. Petra in straight sets.

By their games and play this year I would say Bouchard has the slight edge. Although ultimately I'm giving the edge to Woz. I don't think Bouchard has quite recovered completely from her Wimbledon loss. If she wins this I'll say she's finally shaken it off for real.

Petra has had a decent hard court season this year, better than most of her previous years.
Anyway, here is the way the scenario will play, this in my mind!
Petra will get her revenge against Elina, makes the Final and...
Genie wears down a tired Woz in 2 and the Wimby finalists will face again.

aggressive wont work with Caro because she will bring every ball back..Genie doesnt have the mental strength to unsettle Caro.
Wozniacki is very patient and will break down her opponents by her endurance and accuracy.
I have Caro in two...another overhyped blonde to put on the notch of her belt.
