They've met once on a HC. A straight setter won by Simona in the QF of New Haven in 2013.

Who wins: Simo or Maka?

Simona in 3 sets

Makarova can play really well...but then sometimes she gets blown out for no good reason....so I'm thinking it's a head thing???

Simona in 3

Makarova is a great player. Her losses are due to her head. Simona wins this, I think.

 

[tented]

I'm taking Halep in straights. She's on a roll.

 

[colleen66]

I think Makarova might pull this one through in a tight 3 setter.

 

[tennisville]

I just hope Halep wins this match. She is really playing well

 

[britbox]

Halep in 3.

 

[kskate2]

This one, I'll say Simona in 2 tight sets, one probably a breaker.

 

[shawnbm]

Si, Si, Simona in a tough three setter!!!

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

I picked the underdog in 3

Makarova can be crafty too, she has the game.

Nice for Makarova to end up here in the QF after a breakout year. Yet this is where sit ends. Halep is too motivated and too consistent.

Good start from Makarova she consolidated her break and leads 2-0

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Halep with 2 d/faults so far in her service game

Makarova with BPS,Halep missed a high over head smash and it went wide

Makarova gets the double break and leads 3-0

 

[10isfan]

I have no stream. Halep losing 3-0. Makarova must be firing on all cylinders.
