Queen Masha in 3 and she''l win RG too

Thank god she is not my queen. Those hearing aids cost a lot and I would get a phobia of staring people :puzzled :D
I would also become a dirty mind player cheat.
I would rather lose than be like that because I look at the mirror now and then :rolleyes:
I am not a "champion" material I guess :rolleyes: opss... I am back :D Did I said too much?... sorry

Overhyped and slam less halep will never be a "queen" :lolz:

My prediction is Maria in straights. Good tournament for Genie though - she's evolving.
Maybe Genie can get a set? But she is still so new to the later rounds of GSs. Maria has already been there and done that many times over!

Three of the four semifinalists are first timers here.

Masha has been her many times.

I hope Genie pulls this off. Her returns were really solid today but Maria will take advantage of her second serves too. If I am Genie, I take a bit off my first serve and try not to get behind in rallies with lame second serves. Good luck.

It's hard to vote against Genie, but Maria is a tough out.

Murat I like your comment that Eugenie should tinker with her first serve to keep the % high. Second serves against Maria could be fatal. All Canadians are hoping for that magic upset, me included. The reality of the matter, can Eugenie counter attack Maria's powerful returns and aggression? I will go out on a Canadian Maple Tree limb and say Eugenie in 3.

I can't imagine Bouchard winning this. Her only chance is to come out of the blocks firing to stun Pova. If it goes to three sets, Pova makes the final. Bouchard looked like she was shedding tears after winning the QF. She will probably collapse from the occasion just like Stosur and Muguruza did.

Ditto hoergren... I quite like both players, so not really too concerned who wins. I expect Sharapova to win, but if Genie makes her big breakthrough here then I'll be happy - albeit for slightly different reasons.

Maria in 3. She will seize the opportunity to get to the final like she did in 2012.

It is good to see some young blood evolving. I was beginning to think we might never see an evolution. Good tournament for Halep, Bouchard and Petkovic! If Genie can pull off the upset, then we will get a new slam winner which I am all for having!

A pig on a severe diet I guess?
